I have published three papers in TBME. In general, the reviewing process is relatively fast as long as appropriate reviewers can be found. If the reviewers are responsible, the results can be out in about one to two months on average. However, if appropriate reviewers cannot be found or they disappear, the reviewing process may take more than four months. Fortunately, this situation does not happen very often.

I was also rejected in a day, without even receiving the reasons for rejection.

I am also one of them, submitted on May 13th, and received the first review on June 16th: rejected with the option to resubmit.
“In order for us to be able to locate the same reviewers, please resubmit within 4~6 months if you choose to do so.”

It's almost been a year, not just a 2-month review period.

May I ask if there are any results now, has it been reviewed, or has it been directly rejected?

Anxious, are you being editor desk rejected? No external review sent.

Submitted on March 10, 2025, rejected on March 11, 2025. It's just ridiculous. The journal provided the option of surgical robots, and the article also conducted systematic experiments, including tissue experiments. The reason for rejection is to recommend submitting to journals related to robots. Is this a joke? Well, at least they rejected it quickly and didn't waste time.

The paper was submitted on October 15th last year, and after more than 4 months of review, it was rejected at the end of February this year. The opinions of the two reviewers were okay, but the editor rejected it, saying "So while the reviewers' comments to the authors may sometimes read as addressable, we can only accept a small portion of submissions we receive and must reject some papers ranked lower by reviewers (FYI, the current acceptance rate of TBME is about 12%)." It feels a bit frustrating.

The first trial lasted four months, including the Christmas holiday and the domestic winter vacation halfway through.

Excuse me, how long does it usually take to receive the first-instance result?

After four months of review by two reviewers, one with a relatively positive opinion and the other more neutral but still open to revisions, the editor ultimately decided to reject the paper. The reason given was that although some of the reviewers' comments could be addressed, the journal can only accept a small portion of submissions and must reject some papers that are ranked lower by reviewers (for your information, the current acceptance rate of TBME is about 12%). It feels like a waste of time.

Already rejected.

My focus is on the algorithm direction of MI, which is targeting a new field, but mainly focuses on algorithms. Also, it is during the Christmas period, so I don't think it's possible to submit directly. So I'm asking everyone how to proceed?

ADM: McArthur, Kara has been submitted for five days, I didn't notice the update time for the ADM on the third line, just wondering if it has been sent for review?

Rejected for over 20 days, with only one reviewer, pretty fast. We can only accept a small portion of submissions we receive and must reject some papers ranked lower by reviewers. FYI, the current acceptance rate of TBME is about 12%.

Can articles related to radar human body sensing algorithms be submitted for this?

How long does the second review usually take? It's been three months since the major repair and I still haven't heard anything.
