Hello, may I ask if there have been any changes?

Do you reject directly in peer review? No awaiting EIC?

The status changed after squatting, and it has been stuck at "awaiting AE" for a month.

Generally, it is over three months, if it does not meet the criteria, it will be rejected directly; only if it meets the criteria will it be sent for review.

I also invested in this EIC at the same time as you, on 26th February.

2026.4.28 Awaiting AE Decision

(Note: "AE" likely stands for "Associate Editor")

Recently, it seems that awaiting AE decision is particularly slow, it has been ten days without any results.

The initial review will only be conducted after three months, and only after passing the initial review will it be submitted for further review. Let's wait another two months and see.

How long does the first instance take? It has been 40 days and still "submit".

It's really slow, has been submitted for almost three months and still pending (using the old system), haven't even contacted the provincial reviewer.

May I ask how long you have been waiting for EIC status? I am currently in the same situation.

I have been in peer review for over 40 days and it seems like there hasn't been any external review yet.

Does this journal offer the option to resubmit after rejection?
