Can I ask if you have any updates on the next steps?

However, overall it is still not as good as journals like microbiome and ismeJ.

It has been almost 4 months since submission, with feedback from two reviewers already received. However, the first reviewer's comments have not yet been returned. I am in a dilemma about whether to send a reminder email.

It has been 3 months with the editor, and he said he couldn't find suitable reviewers. Do any friends have the same situation?

A fantastic journal, ranked in the top quartile, with very high-quality articles. Based on the quality of articles published in recent years, it is not inferior to top journals like Microbiome. It is worth submitting to.

One week after submission, I was asked to revise the paper format and re-upload it. The submission status has been "manuscript received" since the first submission until the 17th day. Should I send an email to remind them?

Hello, what's up? It's been 15 days since I submitted my article, but it hasn't been assigned to an editor yet

It's been half a month since I submitted to the editor. It's really slow, so slow, so slow

The review process was quite fast, within one month. There were a total of two reviewers, with one major revision and one minor revision. The third reviewer had no comments, and only the figures were revised according to the journal's requirements.

投稿状态分享：Submitted in September, received first round of reviews in October which required major revisions. One month was given for revisions, then received second round of reviews within a month. After 3 weeks of revisions, the manuscript was essentially accepted pending minor corrections. After completing the corrections, it was returned the next day for final approval. Received an official acceptance email after waiting around 5-6 days, and now preparing for publication fees and proofs. The proofreading process will take approximately 2-3 weeks

A niche research field, the new collaborative journal under Nature has seen an increasing trend in impact factor in recent years. Some top laboratories both domestically and internationally have submitted their work to this journal. 
Backed by Nature Publishing Group, the review process is extremely fast, with replies within less than a month. The review comments are in-depth and can improve the quality of the articles

May I ask if Yongjin sent an email to all the authors in the editor's hands? If so, should we only send the review email to the correspondent?

The average number of articles per year is within 100, and the reviewers are very professional. It is a good journal.
