I submitted twice. It was rejected for the first time. Then I added some experiments and submitted again for the second time. After first review comments received, a major revision was made, and it subsequently got accepted. Specific information for your reference: 1 month for the first review, 2 months given to revise, and then resubmitted; 1 month later, it got accepted, and after another 20 days, it was available online.

Received good reviews, but the editor in chief did not think it fit the journal scope. Eventually accepted.

Excuse me, can this magazine hang three columns?

Everyone, have you ever encountered this situation? Initially there were two reviewers, one suggesting major revisions and the other suggesting minor edits. After the revisions, two more reviewers were added. Following the second round of reviews, three reviewers accepted the manuscript, but a new reviewer raised three additional points. This led to a second round of revisions with three more reviewers added. Now there are four people reviewing the manuscript, and we don't know what to do. There are a total of seven reviewers involved. Will this cycle continue endlessly? It feels like we will never graduate.

Excuse me, it has been 10 days with editor and there has been no change. Should we reject it?

May I ask how long the first review process usually takes for this journal?

The submission was made at the end of April, and the first review took less than a month. There were two reviewers, and we had to add a lot of animal experiments. After minor revisions in the second review, the paper was accepted, taking a total of about 5 months from start to finish! The overall editorial efficiency is very high, and the journal has high requirements for the systematicity and completeness of the articles, especially the verification of the mechanisms of animal experiments. The innovative reviewers also provided some useful suggestions. IJP is a very good journal in the field of pharmacology, but it is strange that its impact factor has always been low, compared to similar journals in the field of biomaterials. I hope it can improve.

I am really sad. Two reviewers provided feedback on my manuscript. One gave moderate comments and suggested revisions, while pointing out a single word error in the manuscript. The other reviewer gave very positive feedback. The Japanese editor rejected the submission. The submission was argued on the Elsevier system. The Japanese editor replied that the word error in the manuscript could lead to misunderstandings and therefore cannot be accepted. It's too difficult. Submitting is too difficult.

How to choose an editor? I'm afraid of encountering a Japanese editor.

After a major overhaul, I directly received my degree, luckily just two days before the school's degree committee meeting.

The submission experience was excellent, with two reviewers assigned by the editor. After one round of major revisions, the manuscript was accepted. Currently, this journal ranks 3rd in the field of pharmacy. I hope it will continue to improve and eventually enter the top 1% of journals indexed in the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

When I submitted my manuscript in March, it was sent for review by the editor in less than a day. This time, it has been two weeks since it was returned for revisions and sent for review. After the external review was completed in three days, I have been waiting for a response for four days now, but have not received any. Do you have any updates on this editor and the editorial department?

The submission was assigned to a Japanese editor on the same day, and it takes about two weeks for review, with 5 reviewers selected. Will the review process be faster with OA than non-OA?

Is there really no one sending emails to criticize the editor?

(0) Thank | sqwudmty

Japanese editors review submissions the day after they are submitted. On the same day, there is a reviewer who accepts the submission. The review feedback is usually returned within 20 days, with the editor providing 20 suggestions for revisions. However, even after 10 days of making the revisions, the submission is still with the same editor and has not been sent for further review

The direction of drug delivery is smooth, the review was done quickly, and the reviewers' questions were also very professional. It took over a month to make revisions

Oh, how unlucky! I am a Japanese editor Fumiyoshi Yamashita who has just been assigned. Hopefully it won't be unfriendly! Sigh! Let's wait patiently!
