I submitted my work over a month ago and it has been sitting with the editor. After waiting for over two months for the initial review feedback via email, I decided to withdraw my submission.

It's simply unbelievable. My work was in the editor's hands for 2 months and then it was rejected, without any feedback at all.

It has been a month since I submitted my article, but it has not been assigned to an editor yet. I received an email saying that the initial decision would take 2-3 months, so I decided to withdraw my submission today.

Submission date: 2025.11.21 Under Review
It's been 20 days until today, and no editor has been assigned yet (haven't received the email assigning the editor), so slow.

How did you know that "10.10 Under Review" is looking for reviewers?

OP continues the relay, carrying on the good luck, and sharing the process of submitting this article:
07.28: Preliminary Manuscript Data Submitted
07.28: Author Approved Converted Files
07.28: Under Review (probably not yet in the hands of the editor)
10.10: Under Review (found reviewers, external review)

Actually, it showed "under review" as soon as I submitted the article. This is not external review yet. It took about a month for the editor to contact the reviewers. And it has been two months since the external review, so I think this journal is not that fast.

Why can't I see the manuscript I submitted on Research Square? I can't see it when I log in with my own account, and I can't see it when I log in with the corresponding author's email either.

I also look like this after submitting. It has been "Under Review" since I submitted.

What does this actually mean? Does it just represent a form? Is there actually no assigned editor?

Similarly, it has been over half a month since it is under review, I don't know what the situation is.

How come this journal went under review as soon as it was submitted, without any editor assignment or anything, is this reasonable?

After submission, the status quickly shows as "Under Review" here, but the "Current Stage" in the manuscript details section always shows as "Submit to Journal." Today, the status here has also changed to "Under Review." Does this mean it is under review now?

What is the status before inviting reviewers?

May I ask how the blogger is doing now? Has there been any change in their condition or status?

What is the status of AE? I am now at "Submission checks complete," which only took 1 day to complete.

I have been in the editor's hands for a month, should I remind them to submit the manuscript? Is it necessary?

28 days AE... It's really slow... I thought it had been submitted for review...

May I ask if the status has changed for the OP now? My application has been under review for 1 month.

May I ask how you are doing now, OP? Mine is also under review for a month.

It is not recommended to rush graduation after accepting online courses for the next three months.

It has been 20 days since submission, and it is still under review. It is said that the review process is also very slow. It is not recommended to submit in a hurry.
