My friend upstairs, the deputy editor you mentioned is Harini Balasubramanian (Ms.), right? I emailed her before and she replied that “The paper is currently with the editor for initial evaluation. The editor will either render a decision directly or will initiate the review process based on the analysis.” Then there has been no more news in 20 days. I don’t know if it was sent to the wrong person.

Let me talk about my situation. I submitted an article on computer interdisciplinary applications in October 2019, it was sent for review within a few days, and then the results of the external review returned in two months (in December), and then we revised it for one month, and submitted it in January 2020. After a month, it was sent for second review, and then it was accepted at the end of April this year. It feels pretty fast. Probably because last year we deeply learned their SI. Then the second article was submitted for a Q2 journal, and it was a tragedy in two months after the external review. I felt that Soft Computing was a little faster, so I transferred it to Soft Computing (in early October), and now it is still with editor. It has not been sent for review. I sent an email to ask and answer was official, saying that it is under consideration, and it was going to be sent for review or something, but then nothing happened... I want to withdraw the manuscript because I desperately need to publish the paper... It may be because the number of submissions has suddenly increased a lot...

I can’t remember the specific time at the beginning, only remember the month. It took about a year. Mar 2019, submitted to journal; Apr 2019, under reviewer; Oct 2019, major revision required; Oct 2019, submitted; Dec 2019, under review; Feb 3, 2020, minor revision required; Feb 8, 2020, submitted; Feb 9, 2020, under review; Feb 15, 2020 accept.

Submit manuscript: 2012-3-13. Manuscript is in the hands of the editor 2012-5-4. Manuscript is under review 2012-8-28. Decision in process 2012-8-29. Article rejected and resubmitted.  I feel that only one reviewer looked it over and they gave 6 comments, such as: there is a direct indication that the innovation is not sufficient; the integration of existing results  indicates that the label is not standardized; icons and experiments need to be explained in detail, etc.

How to contact the editor to withdraw the submission? There is no place to send an email to the editor.

Do you know the email address of the editor? There is only a "View Submission" option in the submission system, but no place to send emails. How can we contact the journal editor?

I have been waiting for two whole years, but still haven't received any proof. Does anyone know the email address of the editor responsible for proof and publication?

The first trial seems to have results after about 5 months. The revised manuscript was submitted in May 2024, but there has been no progress so far. Just realized today that this journal has been on hold for a long time, it's really unfortunate.

After the minor repairs, the editor has been assigned. Do we have to wait?

(0) Thank | yyy926

Minor revision. The status has been "editor assigned" since under review. It has been two months already, how much longer will this status last?

(0) Thank | AileMM

I have been waiting for nearly a year, without any news. It's been put on hold and it's just exhausting.

Is the probability of being released high?

This is a journal that collaborates with the introduction of papers, which has been reported. Many of the papers are related to sports and education majors.

Based on my current understanding, the situation of the journal is as follows:
1. The journal's impact factor and self-citation rate have been normal in recent years.
2. The journal's CAR index was 11.61% in 2022, slightly high at 7.73% in 2023, and significantly high at 47.52% in 2024, with a CAR index ratio of 6.15 between 2024 and 2023. However, I think the journal had very few publications in 2024, mainly in February, which may explain the high CAR index. Therefore, the CAR index is correspondingly high, but overall it is still on the high side.
3. Currently, there doesn't seem to be any negative news about the journal.
Finally, I would like to ask if anyone knows the likelihood of this journal being put on hold and subsequently withdrawn from being on hold.

Did everyone successfully withdraw their submission? My paper was accepted in January, but after the journal put it on hold, I sent an email to withdraw it to the editor, but have not received a response yet. Recently, I saw new papers online on the journal's website, but mine was not among them. I'm feeling worried. In this situation, can I submit my paper to another journal?

I just checked and saw that there is a new article from SC online today. I'm not sure if it's good news.

(0) Thank | 花洒不如撒花

My application was also accepted, but then there was no further news. Another article that was just revised before the new year also made me feel disheartened.

From "On Hold" onwards, no new papers will be published. If the hold is lifted, the paper will be reconsidered for publication. If the hold is not lifted, it's over.

The likelihood of a hold being lifted is less than 20%, it's up to fate.

Hurry up and withdraw, it's on hold.

I sent a reminder letter in early May, and it has been 6 weeks since the RRC status. After a gentle reminder, they rejected it the next day. Blessing in disguise? Haha.
