I would like to ask why my manuscript has been "Awaiting Reviewer Scores" for over two months. Why is the process taking so long? Have others experienced a similar situation?

Both the editors and reviewers are quite friendly, and there is no doubt about the quality and recognition of the journal in the field of steel. I hope the impact factor and ranking will continue to rise.

The submission was made on June 12, 2025, and it is now September 2. We are still awaiting reviewer scores, and it has been almost 3 months. This means that the review process has started, but it is progressing very slowly.

How long has your status of "awaiting admin processing" lasted after the major maintenance?

Why the articles hired in May and June of the 24th year have not been published yet, does anyone know why? It's already April of the 25th year, the official release is still in December of the 24th year, and there is no new release in the 25th year.

The review process was very fast, with major revisions requested. After the revisions were made, the paper was directly accepted.

The review process is fast, and it is relatively difficult to make changes to the authors during the submission process.

This journal, after the major revision, will add the "Awaiting Reviewer Assignment" status, which is also frustrating.

On the official website, the average time from submission to acceptance is 2-3 months. However, my submission took much longer, with a process of finding 4 reviewers back and forth, and taking 5 months. The journal is of high quality and has a good reputation in the industry.

I sent an email to info@sagepub.com and received a reply saying that it has been forwarded to the appropriate editorial department, so I'll have to wait
