It took 8 months and has gone through three reviews. The feedback received before was very positive, and none of the other reviewers had any objections. However, due to the subjective opinion of one reviewer, it was rejected after the third review... A waste of more than half a year.

Can I ask when you made the investment?

Journals, in the past six months, it has been very obvious that the publication cycle is being delayed. The editors are conflicting with each other, and even though the reviewers have already responded with no comments, they are asked again in the next round. The articles are being heavily controlled and I am staying away.

Submitted a year ago, still in "With editor" after three revisions. Both the editor-in-chief and deputy editor's email contacts have been exhausted, but the process is still very slow. One deputy editor may have left. Still have to wait...

It has been over a year since submission, with the third round of revisions. It took four months to submit, and then another two months with the editor. I am speechless.

Were you rejected in the first round of review?

It took nearly 8 months for AE to reject the submission for a purely subjective reason. I will also subjectively rate it.

The fourth resubmission to the system has been over a month, and still no response from the editor.

After the fourth revision was returned, there was no movement for twenty days.

What is the goal of strict control until next year?

The situation of my submission last year was: submitted on June 26th, 24th year, accepted on February 18th, 25th year, and published in the June issue. There was one major revision and two minor revisions during the process, and the period was quite long.

Has anyone had their paper successfully accepted by this journal in the first half of the year? Are all of our papers being stuck at the final step, being held back until next year to be published? Can any big shot who had their paper accepted by this journal in the past six months speak up?

It has been almost a week since the fourth round of rework was sent back, and it is still in the same status. It may be another long wait.

I am the same. After submitting the minor repair for the second time, there has been no progress for over 20 days.

I submitted once before and received a quick response, but recently I have been cautious about submitting again. After reading the comments, I am too scared to submit a second piece.

What's the follow-up? I have resubmitted to six reviewers in two rounds.

Please make some changes to things that were originally in the paper but were not noticed by the blind editor. I just received the revised manuscript today, and I wonder how long this prestigious journal will take to review it again.

Hey Xiaoxiu, what are you fixing this time? The reviewers had already agreed with my submission before, but the editor wants me to make the images clearer.

The results of the dip are out, but there are still some minor revisions to be made. Both of my reviewers have agreed to accept the paper after the second round of reviews, but the editor is still meddling in it. I have already made revisions from the first to the fourth round. Incredible.

The dip, but the results haven't come out yet. This journal is amazing.

I have been stuck for 3 months as well, but I finally got "with editor" yesterday.
