It was unbelievable. The manuscript was submitted on February 28. The result was returned on the same day, saying that the word introduction in the text should be changed into background. After revision, it was submitted on February 29. A few days later, it passed the technical review on March 3. It was editor assigned since March 7, and it has continued to the present. Since this journal has a research square function, I can see the detailed information of all the manuscripts in the journal. I found that those similar to my research and in the same period were either rejected or sent for review. Even those were submitted later than mine had been in the next step of process. Only my article was stuck in this dilemma. Because it was less than 50 days, it was not good to urge the editor. I wonder the editor can decide whether to send for review or reject the manuscript at a glance. Why does it take so long? As for rejection, isn’t there a template? Is it so difficult to make a decision?

It has been 16 days, and is still editor assigned. This status has lasted for 8 days.

The review process is extremely slow, with the initial review taking 5 months to complete. Other similar analysis articles in other journals have already been published. The main concern is that the paper suddenly dropped from a tier 2 to tier 3, and it is unclear whether it will be accepted or if it needs to be returned.

Could I ask those family members who have already published, after receiving the acceptance notification, do you wait for the magazine to send a new email to open the permission to access, confirm the affiliated institution, and pay the article fee? Is agreeing to publish just a matter of reading the publishing guidelines? Thank you to those family members who can provide answers.

Research focus: Tumor experience sharing: The feedback on the submission review from March 19, 2024 has been received, but there is no feedback. Is there no one in this journal recently? What is the editor doing? Why is it so slow? The reminder emails are not being replied to, I want to withdraw the submission...

Research focus: Tumor experience sharing: It has been 7 months and there is still no feedback. Now even the reminder emails are not being replied to. What should I do... Feeling too anxious.

At the end of September, I followed up on the manuscript, and the editor said he would ask the deputy editor if a decision could be made based solely on one review. So far, there has been no response, and the feedback from the first reviewer is still with the editor and has not been sent to me.

At the end of September, I followed up on the manuscript, and the editor said he would go ask the associate editor if a decision could be made based solely on one review. There has been no news yet, and the first reviewer's comments are still with the editor and have not been sent to me.

It has been five weeks since I invested, and there is still no new information. Have you received any new updates? I am considering reinvesting.

The first trial was rejected after 8 months, and the family members had to flee quickly. Their legs were so scared that they became lame, and they regretted it so much. The junior brother was even more unlucky, he was originally counting on this article to apply for a degree.

Trashy magazine submitted for review, no editor found for 6 months. Finally found an editor after 7 months, but got rejected.
