Being trapped by this magazine, not only is the response slow, but they also don't reply to withdrawal requests.

What should I do? It was submitted on 10-30 for Editorial Assignment, the first time submitted to Frontiers. Others have said they are very quick, should I send an email to follow up?

Notify me to make revisions on July 10th. I have a strong desire to submit, but with such a significant drop in impact factor, I am considering withdrawing the submission.

May I ask who is the editor-in-chief? Can you make a recommendation?

The self-quarantine rate is still soaring, ah!!!!

(0) Thank | 61飞

So frustrating!!! When I submitted it, the rating was 5.8, which was acceptable. I submitted it at the end of February, and it went through numerous revisions and delays until the end of June. I paid all the fees, and when the impact factor was updated, it plummeted to 3.6. If I had known it would be at this level, I wouldn't have submitted it! My well-written article ended up in a low-ranking journal. I'm so angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May I ask if at that time, you could only type one by one when replying to the editor and reviewers in the interactive review forum, without the ability to upload files or copy and paste? I am currently facing this issue.

Two sets of reviewers' comments were received within a month. Some comments were from two reviewers, while others were from three reviewers. I am unsure how much longer it will take for my own feedback.

Experience sharing: Fortunately, this article was relatively fast, and I encountered a good editor. There were three reviewers who needed to provide raw data and copy it for inspection before submission. After major revisions, it was accepted.

Submitted in mid-August,
In early October, one reviewer requested revisions and provided many suggestions, but the revisions were not difficult. Another reviewer directly accepted the submission.
Revisions were completed in early October, and two days later, the submission was accepted.
Published in early November.
Very fast, very friendly, and the suggestions and recommendations provided were very practical. It is evident that the reviewer was very thorough.
If you are seeking speed and impact factor, I highly recommend submitting to this journal.
However, there is a fee of over 2,000 dollars, but it's not a problem if there is financial support.

The first review takes about two months, with high requirements for article quality, and the impact factor exceeds 6. The reviewers are very professional and helpful in improving the quality of the manuscript. If it is possible to obtain a major revision, there is a great chance of acceptance.

02.02 submitted manuscript
04.28 Changed Guest Associate Editor
07.12 Interactive review forum activated.
07.23 Review finalized.
07.30 Article accepted for publication.
There were a total of three reviewers, who provided major revisions. In reality, the reviewers' comments had already been submitted in May, but the interactive review forum was only opened by the editor in July, which resulted in a review process of approximately six months. 
Overall, the submission process was quite challenging, but the reviewers' comments were on point, and the quality of the journal is relatively good.
