I found the payment in the teacher's email six months after being hired, requested a new invoice from the editor, and made the payment. However, I still haven't received the proof after two months, and I don't know where the problem lies. I am frustrated and considering requesting a refund, as there has been no response from Springer when contacted.

I haven't received it yet. Is the acceptance notice sent to the same email address, or is it from the publisher?

Family members, the bill has finally arrived! I received the notice of hire after the minor repairs on June 4, 2026, and only received the email with the bill today (August 21, 2026)! The layout fee is not expensive, $450 (over 3600 yuan).

I have added the author information to the text that has been written.

The official website has a "Journal updates" section with a template, but you don't need to follow the template when writing. You will be asked to adjust the format later.

Did you write the author information in the final draft you submitted on 6.4? ?

Brother, do you have a template for the manuscript, or where can I find the template for this journal?

There is no, 6.4 shows "Accept but Needs Editing", but now it is still Editor Assigned, and there are no further updates... Annoying.

I received another acceptance email a month later ? I added the author information and now I'm waiting ?‍? After acceptance, do you directly submit the manuscript containing the author information on the submission system? (I saw some comments saying that the author information should be submitted through a separate link, but I didn't receive such an email ?)

I would like to ask about the progress of this journal: the paper was notified of acceptance on June 4, 2026, but needs editing, and the final draft was uploaded on the same day. However, as of now (August 4, 2026), the system is still in the "Editor Assigned" status. I have sent several emails to the editorial office during this period, but have not received any replies.

After reading the comments section, it seems that many others have had similar experiences. Has anyone had any updates on their status?

I have also read a paper from my classmate, who received a payment email on May 21, 2024, and an acceptance email on May 24, 2024 (the payment was surprisingly before the acceptance, which is quite strange).

I am in the same situation. 2026.6.4: accept but needs editing. It has been two months and it is still at Editor Assigned. Any updates on your end? I saw one of my classmates' papers, they received the invoice two to three days after acceptance.

May I ask where to fill in the author information? The email I received does not include any other links.

Waited for more than a month... Got an email asking me to add author information... How do I add it?

Friends, "accept but needs editing" has been showing "Editor Assigned" for a month now. Can you please tell me how much longer it will take for the next step? (It seems like the next step is supposed to be sending the payment email for the publication, but I have not received it yet).

Friends, it has been a month since the message "accept but needs editing" was followed by "Editor Assigned". May I ask how much longer it will take for the next step? (From the comments section, it seems like the next step is to send a payment email for the communication, but I have not received it yet)

May I ask how long it will take for the payment link for the invoice to be accepted? It has been one month already.

(0) 讚！ | 朝天阙

After receiving the offer letter, please check the communication author's email for the invoice payment link in order to proceed. Otherwise, you will be stuck in the editorial assistant (EA) stage and the system will no longer respond to you. The process has been transferred to the publishing house, and they will only communicate with the corresponding author via email.

I submitted the manuscript with author information, but the editor asked me to delete the author information the next day.

Feels like acceptance is a distant prospect

Can I ask the expert, how are the results going? I have been stuck at the ES step for over a month now. Can I send an email to urge for submission?

Hey guys, why haven't I received the email with the link? I accepted but haven't received any other emails after saying I need final editing.

Hello, I accepted but need final editing. I have not received an email with a link for me to fill out author information or anything, nor have I been asked to pay. Do I need to submit through the submission system first?

(0) 讚！ | 朝天阙

Brother, what's your current status? Have you been published yet? I'm in the same situation. On April 8th, I received an "accept but needs editing" notice. I submitted the final draft on April 9th, but I haven't received any responses from the editors or AE since then.

Employed on September 5, 2025, additional information provided in October 2025, there have been no changes up to now, no emails are replied to.

Brothers, accept but needs editing, is there any progress after that? I have been stuck at EA, with no proof or other emails, the editing department and processing editor have also not replied to my emails. I don't know what to do.
