Which submission email did you send to? I have also been a peer reviewer for half a year, but no one has responded to my reminders.

Please stop submitting, I've been stuck in peer review for half a year with no one accepting the manuscript invitation, and all I get when I try to follow up is a template response.

I have the same situation, one of the reviewers hasn't responded, it's been stuck for a few months with no news.

It is highly not recommended to submit to this journal, as it has been inactive for 7 months without any updates, and it is difficult to find 5 reviewers.

Does anyone know how many reviewers' opinions are needed specifically, 2 or 3? If it's 3, it will take too long.

Finding editors and reviewers was relatively quick, and the assigned editors and reviewers were quite efficient. Feedback was received within the first month of submission, and two rounds of revisions were carried out, one major and one minor. The major revision took some time, so the entire process from submission to acceptance took about 4 months

Review speed: 12.0 | Submission success rate: 50.0
Experience sharing: It's really slow. There was no progress for six months after submission, then three rounds of revisions took over a month each. The whole process took about a year, so be cautious if you are in a hurry to graduate

Patience, it took me over 2 months to receive feedback from my peers

I submitted an article and it has been in the "reviewers invited" status for over a month now with no progress. What should I do?

Review Speed: 6.0 | Submission Success Rate: 50.0
Experience Sharing: It took a year from submission to rejection, because it was rejected due to lack of informed consent. To be honest, I hope he rejected it sooner

It has been 6 months since submission, with 1 reminder sent, but still no news

How long does it usually take for the initial review? I also want to submit to this magazine, but I'm afraid it will take too long and I won't be able to get published before I graduate

Discounts are available, I personally submit contributions without any financial support, and my salary is relatively low. So I was exempted directly

Very bad experience, six months and can not find reviewers!!!! Worst submission experience I had ever have. I will never deal with this journal or this publisher again. Agonizing. I finally withdraw the paper.
