Hey everyone, it's been 20 days since the Editor Evaluation Completed status and there hasn't been any changes. Is it normal for the rejection process to be this slow? Have any of you received feedback yet, or is there a possibility of it being sent for review? I check the status every day and I'm getting anxious.

I have been waiting for my EEC for ten days already, with no updates. Can EEC be picked up for review after it is submitted?

Is there any follow-up review? I have been under evaluation for 13 days after submitting my article.

May I ask what happened later? Has it been reviewed? I have been under evaluation for 13 days since I submitted my manuscript.

The detailed timeline was not recorded, but the general process is as follows: the submission was made in late March 2026, it took about 10 days for the manuscript to be sent for review, around 40 days to receive three reviewer comments, and the editor gave 6 weeks to respond. After adding a significant amount of experiments and explanations, the revised manuscript was returned in about 4 weeks, went through multiple rounds of formatting revisions, and remained unchanged for about 1 month after formatting revisions. After inquiring with the editor via email, the manuscript was resubmitted, and it took about 7-8 weeks for the second round of reviews (with one inquiry in between, and the editor replied that they were urging the reviewers). Finally, the manuscript was accepted. Overall, the speed and communication attitude of SA were satisfactory.

Angew gave mixed reviews, was rejected and then submitted to SA. Although it was rejected immediately, the rejection was very fast. Overall, the submission experience was still very good.

As expected by AI, the submission was rejected at the speed of light. In terms of the submission experience, it was not bad, not dragging on. However, I speculate that the positioning of SA may be a major journal, because there is no ecology under S.
