Last year, I waited for 4 months without finding a reviewer. I urged the editor three or four times, and recommended a reviewer again before sending it out for review. It took another two months to receive the revised manuscript, and it took about 8 months in total before acceptance. The impact factor is getting lower and lower, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences' ranking is also decreasing. It's not worth the effort...

Hello, are you still there? It has been one month since I submitted my application and it is still under review. Is this normal? Has it been sent for review?

Overall, I did a good job, and the speed was fast. However, it is important to note that submitting for review does not guarantee an opportunity. Feedback is crucial when coming back.

The editors and reviewers are very professional, and the questions they raised are very valuable. I hope it will continue to improve.

Posted on July 19, 2022, major revisions on September 2, 2022, due to the slow progress in conducting experiments caused by the pandemic. Revised again on November 1, 2022, and accepted on December 1, 2022. Perhaps because the topic of the research is relatively niche, there were only two reviewers, but their comments were very fair and practical. I hope the journal continues to thrive!

May I ask, it has been almost two weeks since I submitted to this journal, but it has been under review from the beginning and is still with the editor. Could you please tell me what changes in status occur during the submission process? How can I confirm if it has been sent for external review? Thank you so much.

Hello, I submitted my manuscript on October 31st. On January 2nd, the status changed from "under review" to "pending recommendation," and it has remained the same since then. How long does "pending recommendation" usually last? I have previously sent a reminder letter, but the editor has not replied...
