Submitted on 30th October 2025, rejected on 12th January 2026 with a template rejection letter.

I am also directly rejected by the template. I don't know if it will no longer be published at the end of the year.

All reviewers who have completed the review will have their status changed, and it will not be changed midway.

Could you please confirm if the Status Date will change during the external audit? It has not changed in the past five months.

No, the submission was sent for blind review 7 days later.

Since early July when it was submitted for review, there has been no change in status. Is this journal always this slow?

Is it a rejection after being under review?

Have you ever reminded the editor?

My senior submitted a paper for review over a week ago, but it has been under review for four months without any updates. I submitted a paper as well, and it has been five days with no movement - it still says "submit to j." It feels a bit slow

Submitted on July 6th, rejected on December 23rd. Slow response

It was reviewed after the submission in October 2018. After that, it has been revised and submitted 4 times. There were 4 reviewers, and one of them had an extreme opinion. I had no choice but to withdraw the manuscript on August 30 2019. Since the editors-in-chief were changed, the editors-in-chief A. Chan and Prof. Ravindra S. Goonetilleke were both super inefficient. So, it wasted a year on review back and forth. I will never submit to the journal again.
