It has been submitted for almost a year, and has always been external review. What's going on? I sent two reminders, and the first time I was replied that it usually took about 12 months. I don't know what to do at the moment?

The article was submitted in December 2019, the comments of revision was sent back in February, and major revision was required. It was resubmitted on March 3, and revision was required in the returned comments. It was accepted in half a month. It was too troublesome.

This journal falls into the review category. I recommend contacting the editor if you’re unsure if your manuscript is appropriate for publication in this journal – they have a lot of review issues that non-review papers can contribute towards. Overall, the quality of the articles is high. The impact factor has been above 5 in recent years. However, relatively speaking, the articles are narrowly focused and less timely since they are all reviews.

After submitting the manuscript, it had been four or five months with the editor. I wrote a follow-up letter urging them to expedite the review process, and soon after, it was sent for review. After revisions, the manuscript was accepted for publication.

Received, happy, the editing process was still very fast. However, it took a relatively long time with the reviewer during the second review. After the reviewer completed the review, it was recorded in less than a week. Overall, it is still acceptable. Thanks to the editor and the reviewer. Excellent!

I submitted my paper before, and one month after the initial review, it was still pending decision. This status remained for over two months before finally receiving major revisions. It is possible that one reviewer completed their review while others did not.

I am also pending for a long time, how about you?

Has the status changed now?

How long does the Decision Pending status typically last? It's been almost a week and the status hasn't changed yet.

What's going on now? It won't be reviewed for a few days?

What's going on with everyone? It's been a week and it still hasn't reached the editor's hands. Still in technical review.

I have not heard from them for three months, so I asked what was going on. They said they had invited over a dozen reviewers, but none of them agreed to review the manuscript. They asked me to recommend some reviewers myself.

When I encounter a reviewer who doesn't understand and makes blind comments, I appeal.

On August 7th, it was with editor, and it is still with editor until today (August 11th). Are you also experiencing the same situation as me?

How come it was rejected in the middle?

(0) Thank | 青橙丶

It's normal, mine has also been around 20 days.

(0) Thank | 青橙丶

Can you share the timeline? Is it normal to still be with the journal administrator after 20 days of submission?

(0) Thank | 何奇秀

Excuse me, how long has it been with the editor? It has been 20 days and it is still with the journal administrator.

(0) Thank | 何奇秀

How long does it take for your submission to be with the editor? It has been nearly 20 days for mine and it has not been with the editor yet.

Although the score dropped by 10 points, it is still one of my favorite journals. The submission process was a bit bumpy, but thankfully the outcome was good.

How are things going now?

With the editor, it has been a month already with no updates. Is it safe to assume that our submission has been rejected?

(0) Thank | 学术之光

I submitted the article in March, and it has been "with editor" for over five months now. Numerous reminders have been sent, but they have been ineffective. Can anyone provide a template for withdrawing the submission? I don't want to waste any more time on this.

Has there been no changes in the status from "with editor" to acceptance?
