The first time may take about a month for WJA to approach. Upon reaching the "with editor" status, the paper will be sent for review within 7 days as per the journal's norm.

I have been waiting for 25 days and I am still in the queue. It is estimated that the first processing will take around 40 days. I checked the official website and it says that the average time from submission to first processing is 41 days.

Hello, it's been over twenty days since I submitted my work and I still haven't heard back from the editor. Is this normal? How long did it take for you, the original poster, to hear back?

The delay in updating author information has set back the process by nearly 2 months, so overall, if everything goes smoothly, it will take 3-4 months.

Can I ask why it was returned to the author?

Same question, has it been ten days since the Administrator has been absent, is this normal?

Excuse me, how long with Journal Administrator?

May I ask how long the first review allowed for revisions?

(0) 讚！ | 暗星

The two reviewers of the first review provided over ten comments. The editor has given one month for revisions. Can anyone tell me how long the first round of revisions usually takes? And is there a high likelihood of rejection in the second review?

I would like to inquire about how to recommend reviewers. Our schedules are similar, but I still can't find the right person.

This journal takes too long to review.

Hello, OP. I am in the same situation. It has been a month and a half since wja. I received a template reply after sending an email, saying "peer review without problem." I want to know what this means. Does it mean that the manuscript has already been sent for external review, but the system has not been updated yet? Thank you.

Excuse me, has the OP received any news yet? It has been almost two months since I submitted to With editor, but there has been no response. Despite my reminders, I keep receiving the same official template reply. I don't know if there is still any hope...

12.10 minor revision

This journal is considered acceptable in the field of human-computer interaction, but it leans more towards the non-cs part of HCI. Therefore, the reputation of this journal in the technical HCI community is average, and it is even referred to as 'a third-tier journal' by a well-known technical scholar in HCI. So, if you are a friend who wants to focus more on HCI in computer science in the future, be cautious about submitting to this journal. However, friends who are more inclined towards design & art or social computing can give it a try (the acceptance rate is very high).

I am in the same situation as you, waiting for the editor's decision after one month, and now it has been 12 days with no result. Have you heard anything about being out for review? What is your current status?
