Submission on January 10, 2025
The editor is quite diligent, but the invitation of reviewers is also very cautious. Firstly, invited 2 reviewers, but no one agreed. Then invited 1 reviewer, still no agreement. Invited 3 reviewers again, no one agreed. Invited 3 reviewers once more, still no agreement. The editor tried again, invited 6 reviewers, and this time 2 agreed to review.
Review completed on February 21, 2025. Both reviewers were relatively quick.
Each reviewer provided one comment. One suggested adding more discussion, and the other suggested supplementing genetic toxicity testing. Considering the article is already quite lengthy, I explained the plan for addressing these in the future.
Returned on February 27, 2025, waiting for judgment.

This journal doesn't charge any page fees, I didn't spend a penny on it. Does yours have color pages?

Is the payment for the layout fee notified by mail? I haven't received any notification for the payment of the layout fee

The submission to the scam journal has been silent for five months and has been prompted more than five times. Everyone must not submit to it

Lightning Journal is a huge scam, wasting five months of my time, and not even sending a demand letter. I feel like spitting out lotus flowers

My status as "with editor" lasted for more than 4 months, and in the end, it was directly given minor revisions. This journal does not have an "under review" status, so if it stays as "with editor" for a long time, the article might have already been sent for review. Just wait a little longer

It has been 5 months with the editor

Has the status changed now?

(0) Thank | 1嗷嗷嗷

The manuscript has been with the editor for 5 months now. It has been constantly changing and I even sent a follow-up email halfway through, but still haven't received a response. What should I do?

I have been waiting for the review from the editor for over 4 months, and finally received the feedback. This journal may not have the "under review" status

(0) Thank | Jackie-Wang

Three days after submission on 10th October 2023, the status changed to with editor, and for more than four months afterwards, the status remained unchanged. On 15th December 2023, a reminder letter was sent, and the editor-in-chief said they would contact the responsible editor, but for the next two months, the status remained with editor. Just when I couldn't bear it and was about to write a second reminder letter, on 18th February 2024, the review comments were returned, asking for minor revisions.

I was very surprised. It turns out that it can be done like this, without the under review status, the editor quietly sent it for review. I don't know if all submissions are like this or just mine. Anyway, it's very surprising

Is it being reviewed now?

Submitted on October 10, 2023, still with editor on January 15, 2024. It's been over three months already, this is just too slow. Sent a follow-up email once, the editor-in-chief said the manuscript hasn't been forgotten and has contacted the responsible editor, but it's been a month and the status hasn't changed...

Proceed with caution when submitting
