I submitted on March 6, 2018. The status was With editor till June 2. June 2, 2018, Under review; July 6, 2018, Ready for decision; July 12, 2018, Decision pending. I still haven’t heard anything so far. The status under Final decision is decision pending, but under Letter it shows no decision made; what does this mean?

Hello, how can I check the status and invite several reviewers for review?

On March 27, 2025, it was found in the system that the review comments had been back for a week, but the editor-in-chief has not yet started processing them. It is estimated that they will have to wait in line slowly. The number of submissions from Chinese authors to this journal is increasing (it definitely accounts for over 70% of the issues published this year). The volume of publications this year has also increased significantly, so it is felt that the impact factor will decrease slightly next year.

When submitting the manuscript, it takes nearly half a month with the editor, and after receiving feedback from experts, it takes about three to four days with the editor.

The review process is now much slower, may I ask how long did it take for the manuscript to be in "with editor" status at that time?

(0) Thank | MA F L

The review process has become much slower now. May I ask how long the manuscript was in 'with editor' status at that time?

(0) Thank | MA F L

After the first round of external audit, the Decision in Process status has been 18 days, does anyone know if this is normal?

Excuse me, has the upstairs unit been renovated? Is it still in "work in progress" status?

(0) Thank | MA F L

The journal is excellent, with a top-level ranking! The speed is a little slow. The feedback from the review is also quite constructive. After major revisions, it was accepted for publication half a month later. Overall, the quality of the article is key!

It has been almost a month since submission, and it is still "with editor". Is this journal always this slow?

Only one reviewer.

Going against the norm, the rejection was received in less than a month at the speed of light. The editor-in-chief is Zhang.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I wrongly accused the reviewer.

On March 9, 2025, the fifth round of review was conducted, and only the reviewer in question was sent for review. The editor-in-chief is very responsible and hopes that the reviewer will be lenient.

It's been 20 days in the editor's hands, how long has everyone else been?

I would like to ask everyone, how long does it take to proofread and publish after being hired.
