It was returned to modify the format two days after I submitted it, and then it has been in the Under Editor Assessment status for a week. There is no news yet. It seems that the editor only processes the manuscript every Monday indeed. The speed is really slow...

General time flow: “Mar. 22-submit; April 21-Revise; June 6-Revision Submitted to Journal; June 18-Decision in Process; June 19-Accept.” Generally speaking, the requirements of this journal are actually quite high. My paper was originally submitted to a journal with IF of 7, but when it was under review, others already raced to publish highlight of drug target earlier. As a result, I could only submit to another journal with a lower IF. I thought that it was going to be of 5. Hope it would work!

After submitting my paper last year, it was directly rejected. I submitted again and after the revision, I continued to work on the paper. The good news is that I just accepted it today. The entire process was tortuous, and it has been repeated four times. The journal is painfully strict. However, now I’m happy, thanks to the editor.

Submitted a manuscript, first modified the format, sent it to the editor, and then went through a long wait. After a month without any updates, it was still under editor assessment. After two reminders, the second reminder was directly rejected and asked to submit to a sister publication.

The article has been successfully accepted. It took a total of 3 months from submission to acceptance, with the review process taking one month. We needed to conduct additional experiments, so the revision period was extended. Otherwise, it would have been just 2 months. It is a great journal, but it does require three repeat experiments on the entire film, so this is something to keep in mind when submitting.

The submission was made on June 26th, and by July 17th, three reviewers had completed their reviews. The first review was completed on August 15th, with a three-week deadline given. All three reviewers provided fairly friendly feedback, totaling several dozen comments, but no suggestions for additional experiments. The revised version was submitted on September 1st, and the second review was completed on September 22nd with only one comment. The revised version was submitted on September 24th, and it was accepted on September 27th.

The review process is currently very slow, especially for papers that require second or third revisions.

I encountered the same problem as you, and after making multiple revisions, I still received the same feedback. I don't know how to make changes.
