Submitted in February, and notified of rejection in July. During the period, I urged the paper three times, and each time I had to wait for the editor to decide. In the end, it was rejected without being sent for review. I just want to say, since it is not sent for review, is it necessary to hold it for so long? Be careful, everyone!

The reason for the 8-month review in the first instance is because the reviewer has not been found yet? Mine has been more than 4 months and has not been reviewed yet.

A few days after submitting the manuscript, it was under review (UR), and then it took 8 months for the first review. After making revisions, it took another 2 months, during which constant reminders were sent, and it was directly accepted.

After the minor revisions, another round of review was conducted (the third round), and the reviewer was the same as before, very satisfied. After acceptance, there was a one-week delay because the previous editor and the production department's editor could not be reached. The lesson learned is to always pay attention and contact in a timely manner.

The RC has not received any results yet since the end of February. May I ask how long it usually takes for the editors of this journal to make a decision?

I submitted my manuscript for review a year and a half ago, and after the initial review, it went through two different editors. I received 24 suggestions for major revisions.

May I ask if the original poster has accepted it now? Will it be accepted directly after minor adjustments?

(0) Thank | superxuer

How is the progress now, OP? Did the minor adjustments lead to a direct hiring?

2.20 Under review

(0) Thank | rainballchao

In the second round, we received minor revisions from the reviewers. After making the revisions, the editor also suggested some minor changes before accepting the manuscript. After resubmitting the revised manuscript, it went back under review for a few days before changing to "Reviewers Assigned." I'm not sure what's going on, maybe the reviewers have changed? The second round of reviews all said the revisions were satisfactory, just providing some suggestions on reference formatting. It's exhausting.

It has been over a month since UR started turning into RA at the beginning of January. I want to send an email to ask, but I dare not. Have any of you experienced a similar situation with family members?

Slow as a snail, the reason is because we don't ask for review fees or layout fees, purely freeloading on journals, leading to an explosion in submissions. Additionally, after the recent rejection from Total Environment and ESPR, the number of submissions to this journal has doubled. Cherish each submission, as the one submitted in July 23 was accepted in February 25, with a total of 5 reviewers and three rounds of revisions. Each round of revision takes about four months, with sharp reviewer comments that essentially require the article to be rewritten. It is important to treat the reviewers seriously, as the quality of the article is significantly improved after revisions. Although it is slow, the editors are very responsible. Those in a hurry to graduate should not submit, but those who are not in a rush can. Freeloading is still the way to go.

Slow as a snail, the reason being that there is no review fee or layout fee, purely freeloading on journals, leading to an explosion in submissions. Additionally, after the rejection of Total Environment and ESPR recently, the number of submissions to this journal has doubled. Cherish each submission, submitted in July 23 and accepted in February 25, with a total of 5 reviewers and three rounds of revisions. Each round of revision takes about four months, with sharp comments from the reviewers, basically requiring the article to be rewritten. It is important to treat the reviewers seriously, as the quality of the article is greatly improved after modification. Although it is slow, the editors are very responsible. Those in a hurry to graduate should not submit, but those who are not in a hurry can still submit, after all, freeloading is still good.
