After three reviews, it was still determined to be AI in the second round. Based on the first round of modifications, the problems were divided into chapters, with each section from the title to the conclusion being a separate paragraph. It is undoubtedly pure AI.

How many times has that AI editor reviewed your work? Is it still AI for the second time?

The first review took 4 months, and the second reviewer has been consistently refusing to review the manuscript. The editor has repeatedly invited the same person, and after two months, the second reviewer finally accepted the request but has not started the review. The editor continues to invite him repeatedly, and the manuscript is still under review.

Which idiot editor is holding everyone up on the email? Expose them so everyone can avoid them.

I got a bit radical and sent a strongly worded reminder letter to the editor. Three days later, my submission was rejected. The total time spent was nearly 1 year. What's even more frustrating is that the first reviewer's comments were not positive. I thought you would have updated the comments by now, and the first reviewer's comments were okay. This journal is really a piece of crap. I won't submit to it again. I guess it's a timely cut-off.

I encountered a typical AI review, where each chapter was rejected with very vague questions, but the editor gave a major revision. In the end, it was still accepted after some back and forth.

Encountering AI review again? The sentences are all "There is", very vague and unclear.

The submission was made on March 31st, and a rejection email was received on April 3rd. On April 6th, a decision was made to submit to another journal, but it was found that the status in the system was still "with editor." After inquiring through the submission system's email, it was replied that the editor had withdrawn the decision and the paper was still under initial review. As of today (April 20th), the status in the system remains "with editor" and the date is still April 3rd. What is the situation and is it necessary to follow up? There is a concern that the editor may have rejected the paper but forgot to update the status in the system, and now unsure how to proceed.

Please urge customer service. The updates are coming quickly, but they just won't add new staff. Is the editing authority really so great?

It's been a year already, anyway, the email can only reach the editor.

Please concentrate on reminding everyone within two to three days after the status update. If there are many people, try to get the attention of the editorial department. I have already reminded through customer service yesterday.

I have been trying for 10 months, contacting customer service and sending emails, but it's all in vain. Moreover, sending emails is also directed to Elsevier customer service first. There is no solution at all.

Everyone with similar experiences can send emails together or contact customer service for assistance. There is strength in numbers.
