2026.9.10 Awaiting AE Decision

My paper has just entered peer review for five months. I hope to be given a chance and not waste the five months of waiting.

The manuscript submitted in May 2026 is still under review, it's been three months and no internal review yet, which is too exaggerated.

How is your manuscript going? Any progress?

I am speechless. I submitted on 4.13 and it is still in the "submitted" status today. In mid-July, I emailed the editorial office and DE said that there is a backlog of manuscripts and they are only reviewing those submitted by the end of March. It has been a month and my manuscript still hasn't entered the internal review process. I would advise caution to those considering submitting to this journal.

Who is your DE? I have been submitting to the old system for 4 months and it's still "submitted". I'm speechless.

I submitted my paper on March 15, 2026, but it was not sent for external review until July. After the internal review was completed, I was immediately rejected without specific comments on the manuscript's innovation. Instead, they mentioned a few issues that were unrelated to the originality of the paper.

I used to look at the old system, after three months it became in peer review, and in about a month it became waiting AE decision.

Has the status changed in such a long time, has it always been "submitted to journal"?

(0) 讚！ | 时宜

Is this so outrageous? Why not just reject it directly? ?

Submitted on January 23, 2026.
Rejected on July 27, 2026, without even being reviewed for 6 months. It's like they didn't even read the article, seriously frustrating.

The status has changed to "In Peer Review" today.

Can the old system see specific progress, while the new system can only see "Under review"?

How long was yours assigned? Mine took 40 days to be assigned, which is too slow.

I didn't receive mine either. I submitted it on 4.13, so it may take about four months to be placed on the desk.

The submission dated March 27, 2026 is marked as Submitted, which indicates that it is from the old system.

The submission dated March 27, 2026, is marked as "Submitted," it's too slow, probably due to the outdated system.

(0) 讚！ | 北邮

Me too, I invested on April 13th. Why is it so slow? This is ridiculous.

The submission status has been "Submitted" since March 27, 2026, and it is uncertain when it will be reviewed.

Mine too, I submitted in December 2025 and got the first review back in February 2026. However, it has been a month and it is still in the submission process.
