My paper is about a genetic study on neurological diseases. Just received a desk rejection with this reason: does not match the direction of the journal, it is recommended to submit to genetics related journals.

Under review should mean it has been sent out for external review. It is said that the editors handle it pretty quickly. However, how long the external review takes is up in the air. It depends on whether a reviewer can be found or not... My senior gave feedback for minor revisions in just one month. My junior has been under review for almost two months, and the reviewer even recommended cannot be from China. So, finding a reviewer is completely up to fate

Did the editor provide any feedback for the rejection of your submission, or did they reject it without even sending it out for review? You waited for three months for this

This magazine is considered a well-established one, and the feedback is also good. We will make revisions according to the feedback and resubmit it

7.21 Rejection

The reminder said to wait for news on July 13, but there's still no news. I'm starting to lose hope. I think I'll look for another magazine

I have also received the email after successfully submitting. It currently shows "draft" and "Returned to draft." Is there anyone with experience who can provide an answer?

Hmm, it may be a system issue. I have been "Under Review" since the day of submission until now. I'm not sure if it has been sent out for review. It seems that this journal is "Under review" in the hands of the editor and for external review

I don't understand ?. I chatted with the editor, and the editor said the submission was successful and sent for review, but I still see it in draft status on the system. I don't know why

(0) Thank | 北冥承运

It may not have been successful. Did you not reach the final step? If your submission is successful, you will receive several emails, one of which will provide you with a submission number. My submission was under review on the same day I submitted it

Sharing experience: It's strange, after successful submission, the status of the manuscript is "draft". Was it successfully submitted or not?

(0) Thank | 北冥承运

After I submitted my manuscript, I received an email saying it was successfully submitted a couple of days later. However, when I checked the system, it was still in "draft" status. I was unsure if it had been submitted successfully, so I emailed the editor using the corresponding author's email address, but did not receive a response. I then emailed from my own email account and the editor confirmed that the submission was successful, but still in "draft" status at the chief editor's end. Has anyone else experienced this strange situation?

Experience sharing: It's strange, I don't know why, but two days after submission, I received a successful submission email, and when I clicked on it, the system showed d r a f t status. Does this mean the submission was successful??

We submitted our work almost six months ago, and we did not yet receive feedback on the revision process. It is a bit annoying waiting for the reply.

Sharing experience: Just here to record the submission details: First time submitting to this journal, submitted on 10.07, rejected with resubmit as a new manuscript on 11.17. First time encountering this type of major revision process, initially thought it was a rejection (the kind without the option to revise), later realized it might be the style of the submission system. Praying that the revision goes smoothly! Will provide updates on any progress
