Everyone can see for themselves, the review process over the past two years has been changed 5 times.

Jumping to conclusion: the review process is extremely slow, with no review completed in 10 months. I advise those who are eager to graduate or promote to stay away. I submitted my paper in June 2025, and the early stages went smoothly, with one reviewer providing feedback in August. However, the journal requires input from at least two reviewers, and the remaining nine reviewers have disappeared without a trace. I sent reminder emails to the editor every 3 months, but the editor, like a scumbag, adopted a "not proactive, not responsible" attitude, refusing to find replacements for the missing reviewers. This resulted in a delay of 10 months with no resolution. I was initially very patient, wanting to test the journal's slowest review limit, but they ended up testing my patience limit. Attached is a screenshot of the entire review process as of April 24, 2026. I have decided to withdraw my submission.

How is it going now? Have we received the second round of review comments yet?

During the rework, it was in the second district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The districts have been changing from the second district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to the third district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and then to the Xinrui second district. However, the manuscript has remained unchanged.

The second reviewer bailed. Submitted in June 2024 and still no progress. It's been almost two years. I give up.

May I ask how long you have been stuck in this phase in total? I have been with the editor for 2 weeks now, and if it's going to take much longer, I am considering withdrawing the submission.

Submitted in July 2024, unable to find a second reviewer. The first review was completed at the end of July this year, with minor revisions made three times. Finally accepted in October, the journal's overall process is slow and not suitable for students in a hurry to graduate. Expect to wait for over a year after submitting to this journal. The reviewers' comments were generally friendly, and a protein imprint membrane needs to be provided in the final stage. Overall, a friendly experience.

The submission was made in March, and two reviewers submitted their review reports in May. There has been no change since then, and no revisions have been requested.

I have looked at everyone's submission progress before and found it very useful. I submitted mine at the end of January 2025, with one major revision and one minor revision. I was accepted on August 11th, and I am very happy!

Received first reviewer report(s) on January 12, 2025. The second reviewer has still not responded despite six reminder emails, all of which received template responses. They have also not continued to invite new reviewers. I don't want to wait any longer.

Received first reviewer report(s) on January 7, 2025. The second reviewer is not responding at all, despite being reminded 5 times. Each time it is just a template reply, and there is no further invitation to other reviewers. I don't want to wait anymore...

Has this magazine closed down? Several reminder emails for submission have gone unanswered, with no response. It has been four months since the review process was completed...

I submitted my manuscript in October 24th, received revision comments in January 25th, and revised it in February 25th. It has been 4 months now and I still haven't heard anything. I have asked the editor many times during this period, but all I got were automated responses. It's really frustrating! Have you heard anything from them, my friend?

Submitted on 24th October 2024, reviewed on 25th October 2024, revised on 27th October 2024, and received the first feedback on 4th January 2025. Now the second reviewer has disappeared, and despite sending several reminder emails, we are still receiving desk replies. Now it's May 1st, 2025, and we will just have to continue waiting.

Just as it was submitted, it was rejected by 3 districts. I want to withdraw the submission now. Sigh.
