It has been a month since 1AB, when will there be any change?

Excuse me, how long will this process take? I have been here for a month already.

May I ask how long it takes for the submission to be sent for external review? I have been waiting for one month and it is still undergoing the 1ab integrity check.

Submitted a review article, very quickly. It took three months from the first submission to final acceptance, and both the editor and the chief editor were very professional and responsible.

Can only one person accept the review, will more reviewers be invited later, or will the submission be rejected due to insufficient reviewers?

I have been stuck with a 4B card for 7 days too. I am so anxious to see you in a month. Please, I can't wait that long.

Overall, the process feels quite fast, and the opinions of the two peer reviewers are also quite friendly. I hope the journal will continue to improve.

Overall, the processing speed is relatively slow, but the editors are very friendly.

Overall slow process. Submitted in March of the 24th year, the editor returned the manuscript in May, saying that a figure was not labeled and needed to be added (although it was actually labeled). This wasted two months. Officially submitted for review on 5-28, one reviewer immediately responded with comments, while the other reviewer delayed until 7-23. The editor decided to give a deadline for revisions by 8-30. It took 14 days to make the revisions and send them back (9-15), and then the editor provided feedback on formatting suggestions (which was usually replied to on the same day). Entered the final decision stage on 9-20, and officially accepted on 10-23. Not recommended for submitting graduation articles, as it was a very torturous process.

Submitted on May 14, 2024, it took a long time for the Editorial Team to reply and request for the original data. The process involved multiple rounds of providing and re-providing the data until the Editorial Team contact person changed (thank goodness the previous lady was on vacation!). On July 31, 2024, the article was under review. On September 2, 2024, the review comments were returned, requesting revisions. A response letter was sent on September 19, 2024. On September 25, 2024, 2 images were resubmitted as requested due to high pixelation. Finally, on September 26, 2024, the article was accepted for publication.

Despite encountering some trouble with the initial contact during the first stage, the review process was relatively quick, and the editorial team demonstrated high efficiency with timely email updates at each stage. Overall, the impression was quite positive. This being the second article, although the impact factor has slightly decreased in recent years, I still believe it is good enough for graduation purposes.

We need the original WB data. It doesn't have to be rejected outright, depending on the situation and the editor's discretion.

The application submitted on April 28th, was changed to 1A_2 - INITIAL ASSESSMENT IN PROGRESS - PHASE 2 on May 15th. Is this normal?

The review process is very thorough, but also very slow

No external review will be conducted but some people may request one, the chief editor decides

Hello, may I ask how long your 4bd status has been maintained? Are you sending it for external review again?

(0) 讚！ | xiaoxiaoxin

Re-submitting to different reviewers is not a guarantee. The probability of acceptance is not high if both reviewers have already rejected the paper
