May I ask how long it will take for the corresponding editor to accept it? Isn't there still a step of assigning editors after technical review? How long will it take, my dear, it has been two months and I still haven't been accepted by an editor (crying).

Submitted on December 26, 2025, and entered peer review on the 31st of the same month, with only 1 out of 6 invited reviewers accepting. Received the second report on February 2, 2026, showing that the editor had invited 10+ people. However, it is now April 1st, and there has been no further communication. Does anyone know what to do in this situation?

The third review stage is almost here. As long as the technical review goes well, it's all good. This magazine is pretty good. It's okay to wait a little longer for the final result, right? Hahaha.

If there is no withdrawal of the submission, or the journal has not agreed to withdraw the submission, submitting the same manuscript to another journal is considered academic misconduct of duplicate submission. It is recommended to withdraw the submission first.

How are the journal quartiles determined after renaming?

Previously, the technical reviews were approved on the same day, but now it's been six days and there is still no progress.

Entered peer review quickly, around 1 month later. However, received rejection notice 2 months later. Only 1 reviewer, rejected for "lack of innovation."

Hi everyone, I would like to ask if this journal has changed its name. If my submission is accepted and published, will I be able to obtain a retrieval report?

Hello, how long has your with editor status been changed? How is it now? Mine has been in this status for a month already. I have submitted to this journal before and it was quite fast, I don't know why it's taking so long now.

May I ask how long it took for each of the following stages: receiving the proofreading, paying the layout fee, and getting published (with proof of publication)?

It took 4 months and 10 days from submission to acceptance, during which there were journal adjustments, slowing down the process.

Dear seniors, I submitted my paper in October last year and it is currently in the third review phase. It has been stuck in the "technical review" stage for two months now, and the slow processing speed of this journal is making me very anxious. 

So I would like to ask, is it possible to transfer the submission to another journal without withdrawing it?

Could I ask all the academicians, how long does it take for the manuscript to move to the UR stage after being assigned to an editor? The submission was made on the 7th, passed the technical review on the same day, and the editor was assigned, but there has been no progress until today.

Technical inspection is just waiting for the editor to handle, probably in line...

I also submitted my manuscript in October last year, and have been continuously revising the format after the second review. This has been revised twice, and each time it has been stuck in the technical review stage.

I'm really annoyed by TMD! I haven't even been hired yet and I'm already being rejected. This luck is unbelievable.

Technical checks are usually handled by the editors, so we just have to wait patiently.

Today just paid, revised according to the opinions of external audit experts, and basically edited the format requirements behind, because the journal changed its name, the format changes were relatively large, three rounds of changes were made during this period, which was quite cumbersome.
