Submitted for a month and it has been showing "under review" all along. Then suddenly changed to "decision in process" and finally got rejected. It's obvious that this journal has low efficiency, not good.

Rejected after one month of being strung along, not even submitted for review, what a waste of time.

Is there any submission requirements for this magazine?

(0) Thank | 蒙德玉卿

This magazine is very slow, typically it takes about two weeks (usually the Friday after two weeks) for the editors to decide whether to submit it for review. I am exactly two weeks now, so the results will be out in the next two days, feeling quite anxious

Hello, I would like to inquire about how long it takes for you to receive information? My application has been under review for 3 months, thank you!

Hello, I would like to ask, it has been almost 3 months since "under review", is this still with the editor or has it been sent for external review? Thank you!

Is rejection after awaiting decision?

(0) Thank | 是美霞吖

It has been a month and a half since I submitted my application, and it has been 'under review' all along. Now it has finally changed to 'Awaiting Decision'. How much longer do I need to wait?

Review Speed: 3.0 | Submission Acceptance Rate: 50.0
Experience Sharing: The first review process took three months, with major revisions. Both reviewers were very nice and raised a lot of questions, not just nitpicking but wanting to improve the content of the article. The second review took one month, with minor revisions accepted. Special thanks to the editor and reviewers, who are all very focused on innovation

Don't submit to newly established magazines with rapidly increasing impact factors; Don't submit to journals with few published articles; Don't submit to journals from areas where academic research is not very developed. Safe journals are those published by large publishing groups or high-impact factor magazines

Authors need to objectively evaluate whether the quality of their research work matches the level of the selected journal. Top journals have high requirements for the originality of manuscripts. The acceptance rate of top journals like Nature is less than 10%, and most manuscripts are rejected at the desk editor stage

Can I submit directly to top journals like Nature/Science? Will they provide feedback?
