It took five months for the first review, and it has been two months for the second review. I have urged twice, and the status is now editor assigned. And the status has lasted half a month. I don’t know what it means.

It has been nine months, but the review results haven’t been received. After sending the email and urging it, the status changed to editor assigned. The speed is too tormenting, it is not recommended to submit.

This is a CCF C series recommended journal. Few reviewers may have a harsher attitude, but as long as the research paper has a certain degree of innovation and value, the paper is written clearly, and the reviewers' questions are answered carefully, the possibility of acceptance is quite high! I hope this journal will get better and better!

My revisions were rejected for seven months. For the first time in my experience, the editor did not adopt the opinions of the reviewers and provided an opportunity for revision. I have made serious changes, but they may not meet the expectations of the reviewers. It has been a difficult process.

Brothers, I have been in "With editor" status for 2 months already. Is this normal? What should I do?

No selection needed.

This requires selecting a preprint, otherwise it won't be visible.

Submitted in May 23, accepted in May 24. The time consumed was for Ready for editor's decision, which usually takes 2 months. After acceptance, immediately instruct the corresponding author to apply for cover APC (the corresponding author received an email about converting the expired journal to OA in May 24). Two days later, received a reply, obtained a "flip token" and informed how to use it. Three weeks after acceptance, received an email for verification and payment, enter the "flip token" to make it free. Thank you for sharing information on this platform during the long submission process of this journal!!

Thank you for the reminder! Do I need to register for ResearchSquare? I can't log in with my corresponding author account

About half a month, you first need to find the email that was forwarded to OA at the end of last October, and then apply for the exemption through that email

I chose the open source option

How long does the editorial process take after acceptance now? I haven't received the email about choosing the publishing method and the galley proof. I submitted my manuscript in May 2023, opting for non-OA

Excuse me, Master upstairs, did you choose the open source option?

Are you choosing the open-source option?

Waited for nearly a year. All emails received were official responses. Thinking about pulling the submission, but got rejected. Sigh

Hello, may I ask if you have applied for the exemption later? Could you please explain the process?

How can I apply for an exemption? Did you find any other ways later on?
