This journal is no longer recognized by many organizations! Be careful to submit! The level of the peer reviewer is average!

1. A case report; the review speed is about 2 months; the reviewers only mentioned a few simple questions; after revision, it was accepted soon. 2. It is not recommended to submit to this journal. It has been listed as a valueless journal by our department, and it is very expensive for 1950 dollars. Think carefully before submitting!

Minor revisions were recommended after the first review lasted two and a half months (two reviewers). After I returned the revised manuscript, suggestions for revision again were given two and a half months later. It was accepted two and a half months after I returned the revise version. There had been no news for two and a half months. I inquired about the results by email and they replied that it was under review by another reviewer... I was not hopeful. Suddenly, I was given notification of acceptance.

In summary, the submission process took a total of 5 months, with two rounds of revisions before ultimately being rejected. It's really frustrating.

The submission was made on May 7th, and a week later, it was requested to add consecutive line numbers in the manuscript and resubmit. The resubmission on the 14th was "with editor" the same day. On the 16th, it entered the "under review" status. It has been over a month now and it has remained in the "under review" status. The date in the "status date" has changed twice. Has the external reviewer's comments come back? How many reviewers does this journal require?

Did you encounter any situation when you were making payment that you were unable to proceed to the next step after completing the billing address? It kept showing a system error.

(0) Thank | supsci

My delay was due to not asking for an invoice when making the payment, which resulted in the editor not receiving the payment record. It was a personal reason that caused this. After sending an email to the editor, the processing was done quickly. The reply from the other party was that the article had been published on the journal's official website in less than a week. However, it may still take some time for it to be searchable on PubMed.

Teacher, I would like to ask, how long does it take to receive the galley proof after acceptance? And after the galley proof, how long until it is online? How soon can it be searched on Web of Science?

It's really slow, after submitting the manuscript, it showed "under review" a week later. It's been almost 4 months now, and there has been no response. I have already followed up three times, and only received a reply the first time saying they are looking for reviewers. Since then, they have not replied to my emails.

Can this be withdrawn? It's been 4 months, still under external review. I sent a withdrawal email but haven't received a response yet. What should I do?

Submit for 6 months, review for 5 months before transferring to RRC, it is another long wait.

Submitted at the end of April last year, the review was completed by the end of November and turned into a revision. During this time, I followed up two or three times and was told that the reviewers could not be found. By the end of December, the revision was completed intermittently due to formatting issues, and acceptance was notified at the end of April this year. Everyone progresses at different rates, with colleagues submitting in May and being accepted in July. It still depends on luck to find reviewers.

(0) Thank | underdog

I submitted my manuscript in July last year and it has been under review ever since. I have inquired about it five times, and each time I was told that it is still under review and I will be informed if there is any news. It's really frustrating!

After being rejected by PLOS ONE for over a year and re-submitting, it is possible that too many modifications were made to the original article, which was already quite good.

I have not received any proof so far.

(0) Thank | 荣荣pink

I paid the layout fee on August 17, 2024, and now it's April 10, 2025, but I still haven't received the proof. I've sent emails inquiring about it but haven't received any response. I'm really frustrated.

(0) Thank | 荣荣pink

I just replied to an email recently. I wonder if it means that someone has reviewed it? They have been saying to add reviewers all along... I don't understand, it's so frustrating.

(0) Thank | xiaolaihu

It's been over half a year since I submitted the manuscript. I have sent several emails asking for updates on the review process. The latest response, after a long delay, said that the manuscript is currently under review. I hope for a positive outcome.

May I ask how long it will take to receive the proof after making the payment?
