The submission process went smoothly this time, with a reviewer taking on the task and providing a quick review. The major revisions were given, but with less than 10 days for modification, similar to minor revisions. After sending the revised version, it was accepted without external review, and only received an editor's comment saying the modifications were very good and the paper was accepted for publication directly. From submission to acceptance for publication, it took less than 3 months.

I submitted it in June last year and it was not reviewed until November 30. It has not been reviewed yet. I sent an email to the editor a few days ago, and the editor's response was quite official. It's too slow.

Taking everyone's opinions into account, I should have checked everyone's experiences before submitting my manuscript. I submitted it to BMC Cancer, which was then transferred at the end of October. It is now the end of January 2026, and the editor has not accepted it yet, only assigning an editor. This is really too slow. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have submitted to this journal. It's such a time-waster. What a pit.

Extremely slow, took a year and a half with no revisions, always looking for reviewers and peer reviews. Finally withdrew the submission. In conclusion, I suggest not submitting to this journal.

How are you doing lately? I invited 9 reviewers for this, one responded, another is taking forever, what if the other one never responds? I'm so frustrated ?.

What stage are you at now? I have been stuck at the editor assignment stage for almost 5 months after two major revisions.

May I ask at what stage you are currently? I have been stuck at the "editor assign" stage for almost 5 months after two major revisions, and I am feeling anxious.

You have been submitting for 23 years and accepted in February 25th. What have you been through during this period? I submitted in October 24th, had two revisions, and have been stuck at "editor assign" since March 25th without any response. I have sent two emails but still no reply. What should I do?

I submitted an article in October last year, which was revised twice. I replied to an email before. Since March, it has been stuck at the "editor assign" stage. I have sent two emails but have not received any response. What should I do?

I submitted an article in October last year, and it was returned for revisions twice. I have previously replied to emails. Since March, it has been stuck at the editor assign stage. I have sent two emails but have not received a response. What should I do?

Did you send any reminder emails during this period? Did you receive any replies?

I submitted an article last year, which was revised twice. Since March this year, it has been stuck at the editor's desk without any progress for several months. I have sent two emails but have not received any response. They used to reply to my emails before, so I am wondering what's going on. Can anyone provide some insights? Thank you.

I applied in August 2023; the first response came in January 2024. After submitting the repairs, I waited until January 2025. I submitted on January 27th and passed the technical test on January 30th. I got hired today. It's too slow!

The speed is extremely slow, as evidenced by the fact. After more than a year of review and 2 revisions, it was ultimately rejected! The final comment was that my idea was not novel enough, comparing it to recently published articles. This is ridiculous! My idea was from over a year ago! They took so long to review, surely there are better ideas now! I'm done with them! I dare not submit again, it's too much of a hassle.

The reviewers of the magazine are quite responsible, and their questions are very detailed. After two major revisions and two minor revisions, the paper was finally accepted for publication.

The magazine review process is too slow. Since September, I have been looking for reviewers and have not received any feedback yet. The editor just sends official replies via email. But I only have a few months left before the deadline. The magazine is really slow.

Both the editors and reviewers are very responsible. They must accurately address all issues and make revisions to the article according to feedback. However, the review process does take a long time.

If you're not in a hurry, you can give it a try, but the magazine review process is extremely slow.

The speed is terribly slow. Please refer to the image for evidence. Even after urging, there is no progress. The replies are also just official templates. The issue has been closed.
