On May 6th, the reviewers were invited again (6 accepted the invitation). On June 9th, the fifth reviewer's comments were received, and then there was no further communication.

How was it finally handled?

How long does it usually take to receive the review comments after the first external review? It has been a month and a half and still no news. If the review comments are received, can they be viewed by logging into the system with the corresponding author's account? Because the corresponding author is a teacher and it is inconvenient to log into the teacher's email.

How many reviewers did you submit to for review? Can't you see the opinions yourself? Once the reviews come back, you'll naturally receive the feedback.

May I ask how long it takes to get the first result after submission? It has been almost a month and still no news.

Whether the editor handling this is a foreigner or not, the processing speed is fast.

The submission was made on January 8th; reviewers were invited on January 24th, and two reviewers accepted the invitation on January 24th and 27th respectively. One of the reviewers provided feedback on February 19th, and then there was no further progress. I sent an email to bhuvasangavi.shankar@springernature.com to follow up, and the editor replied, but it was like talking to a robot, with no substantial help. I don't know what to do next.

From submission to acceptance took 4 months (ps: there is no big shot among the paper authors), indeed the time with the editor in the early stage might be longer, around 1 month or so. After submission, the process is much quicker, the chief editor invited 8 reviewers, 3 of whom provided feedback promptly. Overall, for those who are graduating and seeking stability, it is recommended to submit first. Papers with some innovation or solid research are less likely to be rejected.
