This article was rejected 9 days later, and now I have submitted another one. 
Stj on April 6
Ea on April 7
It is still Ea now, and Ea has not been reviewed yet. I feel like I need to send it out again.

Have you submitted for review yet? It has been two months since I submitted at the end of January and it is still in EA.

The appeal filed in July is now in the second instance.

Can a reviewer make decisions directly after submission? That's great! The difference between reviewers and editors is really significant.

Can the decision be made directly after a reviewer submits it? That's great, there is a big difference between editors.

Submission on October 25, 2025
Invitation for review on November 20, 2025
(In the first round, only 4 reviewers were invited. The first reviewer accepted the invitation quickly and completed the review in about 10 days. It was almost early December at that time. The editor went on Christmas holiday afterwards and did not invite new reviewers until early January. The second reviewer accepted the invitation, but did not complete the review until early February. During the time without expert reviews, the status was "reviewers invited" and it showed as "with editor" on the public account.)
Returned for revision on February 7, 2026, given 21 days
Submitted revised version on February 26, 2026
With editor on February 27, 2026
External review on February 28, 2026
One reviewer submitted directly after review and the editor accepted on March 9, 2026
Manuscript accepted on March 18, 2026
(I have submitted once before, this is the second submission. Both times were sent for review, but the first submission was rejected after 2 months. It took about 1 month for each submission, for reference.)

This journal is really too slow. I want to criticize it harshly. If the submission is not within the scope, they should have notified the rejection earlier. I've waited for nearly half a month, and the editing speed is really too slow. I'm really angry.

May I ask how long it will take for you to submit for review?

Oh my god, this journal is really drunk.

It has been almost half a year since the submission, and it is really slow. The editors are too slow, and the reviewers are even slower. Don't say that Chinese people are all writing manuscripts, the editors are foreigners, and the reviewers are also foreigners. The editors are not proactive, not responsive, not taking any action, and need to be reminded constantly. It took half a month to get the revised manuscript back for review after New Year's Day, and only one reviewer was assigned. So far, there has been no feedback. I am so annoyed that I had to contact the Elsevier customer service to urge the editors, and then they assigned two reviewers, but another half month has passed and still no response. I can't believe the type of people the editors are assigning. The revised manuscript has been sitting in the "Reviewer Invited" status for over two months now.

It has been a month since the submission, the EA status is displayed, and then it is stated that the topic does not match.

It has been more than 10 days since submission, and it is still in "Editor assigned". How is everyone else's results?

I see that the number has reached over thirty thousand, does that mean there are thirty thousand submissions? It's so slow, there has been no progress at all.

I feel the same way, I'm exhausted. I applied at the end of January, and EA is taking so long.

The "Editor assigned" status has been for a month, does no one take care of it? What should be done in this situation? Can we expedite the submission?

(1) 讚！ | Noodles

The editor assigned for a month already, hasn't the chief editor reviewed it yet, no one is taking care of it???

It has been nearly two months since the revision, and the status is still 0-1-2. The reviewers have completely disappeared, and the editors have done nothing. I have never seen such a slow journal before, it's unbelievable...
