The PR was rejected and the editor suggested submitting to COL. The EIC took 10 days, only to say "not suitable." It seems like they are not even bothering to pretend anymore. Maybe it's because of the end of the year, or maybe they just don't have any big names to impress.

I submitted it on December 14th, and on December 15th it already showed "Awaiting Executive EIC Check". What's going on?

Does COL currently limit the number of pages?

Assigning reviewers one month, reviewing for one week, accepting for one week, publishing in four months...

In our group, the last two articles were both rejected during the initial editing review, it seems that since there is no longer a page limit, there are a huge number of submissions recently.

What does "Awaiting TE Assigns Reviewers" mean? Is the editor preparing to send the manuscript to reviewers?

The manuscript has now been reviewed and is awaiting EEIC recommendation. It will then move on to the final processing stage in Awaiting AE. What does this mean?

Is it normal to wait for the editorial board's first review for a month?

(0) 讚！ | 小徐论文百投百中

It has been sent for external review, and we should be looking for reviewers. The next step in the review process is Awaiting Reviewer Scores.

The submission status has changed from "Awaiting editorial board first review" to "Awaiting reviewer selection". Does this mean it has been sent for external review, or is it still under internal review by the editorial board?

Submitted on January 16th, received first round of comments on February 10th and thought the process would be slower during the Chinese New Year, but surprisingly the review was quite fast. Given a week to make revisions, submitted responses to comments on February 14th. Normally, the results would come out quickly after minor revisions, but it remained in "awaiting reviewer scores" status for a month and a half... Waited for too long and decided to politely inquire with the editor. The editor mentioned that one of the reviewers had not completed their review yet, and after following up with the reviewer, the article was accepted in just a few days. Personal suggestion: if the status remains unchanged for an extended period (far beyond the normal duration), it is okay to politely inquire about the progress. Otherwise, waiting indefinitely is not a solution, as the reviewing editor may not suddenly remember they have pending articles to review!

It's only been a few days since submission and it's already in Awaiting Executive EIC Check. It's been stuck here for almost a week now, feeling like it's going to be rejected. Can't even pass the editor, are you handing it over to the chief editor before being rejected?

Does anyone know if it's normal for the assignment of reviewers to still be ongoing after 20 days?
