An uninteresting magazine. It took more than 6 months for the first review, major revision was required, and one month was given to me for supplementing the experiment. I never thought about the experiment I did one year ago. How much did I need to supplement the experiment?! How could I manage it within a month?! The journal later rejected it and asked me to supplement the experiment and resubmit it. Who was willing to submit to this journal?! It was not necessary to supplement the experiment. The other reviewer had accepted it without any comments, but the other one asked me to supplement the experiment without negotiation. He then saw that I didn’t supplement the experiment, disposed of all other review comments of mine, and rejected it directly.

The review speed for BMC Cancer is super slow, which I found surprising. The editorial department is also not that professional, at least not compared to other journals. For example, they are notoriously slow in responding to any emails, and I am not impressed with their editing skills. As a result, if you want to have your article published quickly, I suggest submitting to a different journal.

I submitted my manuscript in October 24th, received revision comments in January 25th, and revised it in February 25th. It has been 4 months now and I still haven't heard anything. I have asked the editor many times during this period, but all I got were automated responses. It's really frustrating! Have you heard anything from them, my friend?

I am also the second reviewer who ran away. What happened in the end?

Submitted on 24th October 2024, reviewed on 25th October 2024, revised on 27th October 2024, and received the first feedback on 4th January 2025. Now the second reviewer has disappeared, and despite sending several reminder emails, we are still receiving desk replies. Now it's May 1st, 2025, and we will just have to continue waiting.

Just as it was submitted, it was rejected by 3 districts. I want to withdraw the submission now. Sigh.

The longest time spent on a submission was for a clinically relevant article, submitted on May 13, 2024 and accepted on February 3, 2025. The editorial department's handling of the manuscript and email responses was relatively fast. However, the process of finding reviewers and the reviewing speed of the reviewers was slow (during which one reviewer accepted the review but then disappeared without providing feedback). Overall, the journal is good, but it is recommended to submit well in advance to avoid any delays in graduation.

I also started at 12, and have always been "with editor". I send an email to the editorial department once a week, but have not received a response or had any updates.

After the rework, both of the second reviewers ran away, something fishy is going on.

Indeed, editing the email three times resulted in excessive cropping and overexposure of the original content.

Indeed, it was not submitted for review. He kept asking me for the entire film repeatedly. I gave him the entire film, and the target was very clear. I asked three colleagues, and they all said they didn't see any problems. However, the editor-in-charge accused me of "slightly" cutting it. It's inexplicable. It's very abstract.

Well, good luck. Please update and synchronize the timeline later.

The supervisor sent an email asking, saying that all opinions have been returned and are in the hands of the executive editor, waiting for a decision... Please, give me a good result...

It has been 5 weeks since the 9/16 revision with a reply saying it is currently under peer review, but there has been no progress since then.

I withdrew my submission and am anxious to graduate. It's been a week and I still haven't received a response to my withdrawal letter. I saw on RS that it's under review, but their official website still shows "with editor." It's confusing.
