My Editorial assignment has been on hold for nearly three weeks, what should I do? I give up.

I submitted the paper in December 25 years ago and received one review in January. It has been several months now, and despite several reminders, I have been told to wait. Have there been any withdrawals?

Similarly, it has been half a year, and I have reminded several times, but there has been no response.

I also invested on September 10th and have already followed up 5 times. May I ask the original poster which direction to take?

Does it mean that the reviewers must complete the review within 10 days, and then it's up to the editor? But how do we know which editor will be assigned?

The journal gives reviewers 10 days to submit their reports, requiring reviewers to submit their report within 10 days. However, the manuscript has been sitting in the editor's hands without any action being taken.

Currently still in the editing process, after seeing others' experiences, they all said it takes a long time in editing, which makes me nervous.

First instance took half a year, second instance took 5 months. Currently, it has been 20 days since the second instance was returned, and it has been continuously undergoing technical review.

I have a very bad impression of this journal. Since I submitted my paper on September 10th last year, 90% of the time has been spent waiting for the editor. All the reviewers finished their reviews in just over a month, but the editor has disappeared. I have contacted the editorial office five or six times, but to no avail. If you are in a hurry to graduate, I advise you to be cautious when submitting to this journal!

I submitted my manuscript in September last year and still haven't received any feedback from the first review. When asked for an update, they just say they will notify me with any new information. What's the point of this?

The submission was made on September 17, 2025, and over 200 days have passed since then. The two reviewers spent a total of 20 days reviewing the manuscript. The second reviewer returned the review report on January 14, 2026, after several reminders, but there has been no further progress. More than 90% of the time has been spent in the hands of the editor, and attempts to contact the editor have been unsuccessful.

Please take over the soft-hearted editor who just finished working with me today.

The additional modifications were completed on January 24-25, 2026. May I ask what these additional modifications entail?

It feels like this editor works quite quickly, as they started inviting reviewers the day after receiving the submission.

Started submitting on July 24, 2025, and still waiting for the third review without any updates.

Could you please confirm if the feedback for the submission made around September last year has been received?
