Trash journal, review process took 1 year and 4 months, and ultimately rejected. They also ignored my emails in the middle. Luckily, I submitted to another journal and got published, with a similar impact factor of over 7. It's important to be cautious when submitting without any connections.

I submitted my article in October 2025, entered UR in early December, and it has been 9 months now. I have sent 4 reminders in between but have not received any response, and the status remains unchanged. I am really tired and wondering if it is appropriate to call and inquire about this situation.

5-30 with editor, now it's 7-13 still with editor, does anyone with experience tell me if this is normal?

Approximately how long will it take for a response, dear?

I sent an email to follow up, but received a reply stating that the editor is currently on vacation.

Hey, have you successfully received the offer letter? I've been waiting for 5 months and still in UR status. Should I follow up on it?

Hey, how are you doing? I've been waiting anxiously. It's been 5 months since the external audit, but there hasn't been any news at all.

I submitted the manuscript in May of last year and it has been under review since June. It has been almost a year now and it is still in the under review status. The editor is not responding to emails, is he/she deceased?

Don't wait anymore, I submitted to an external audit in May last year and there has been no response until May this year. The editor does not reply to emails or withdrawal requests!!! This journal is purely disgusting.

Under review with editor for two months.

I submitted my manuscript in April last year, and it has been under review ever since. The journal is unresponsive to my emails and seems to be low-quality. I have decided to withdraw my submission and submit it elsewhere.

May I ask, what is the current situation?

Do any of you friends who have submitted know how long it takes for a manuscript to be in "with editor" status? It has been 2 months already.

Required reviews completed, not a single movement in one month.

Does anyone know how long it takes for Required Reviews Completed to move to the next stage? Feeling emo.

Submitted on May 15th, it quickly turned into "with editor", but there was no response to the email sent on June 15th. It became "under review" on July 15th. I don't know how long I have to wait.

It took me a while to find reviewers, I only found two in six months. Both of them have rejected my work now, I feel like I have wasted half a year.

After half a year of submission, two reviewers have finally been found, but they have already rejected the submission.

After submitting for half a year and numerous reminders, we finally found two reviewers, only to be rejected after the review. It is not recommended to submit to this journal if you are seeking a quick response.
