I was rejected on September 7th because it was beyond the scope of the journal. I will wait for a week before submitting again, focusing on environmental policy next time.

I also want to withdraw the submission, it has always been with the editor.

For submissions to other sections, the deadline was September 9th, and decisions will be made by September 10th. Now we are thinking about how to withdraw the submission, but it seems like sending an email is not effective.

The second section has been in the WE status for 45 days, despite three reminders from the system.

The question now is how to withdraw the submission!

In the same second tier, it has been 50 days, and people are already numb.

Which sector is the second plate in, sweetheart?

(0) 讚！ | 科研民工

It's a bit unlucky to invest in the second section, while projects in other sections are reviewed in just one or two days.

Is there any software to view the number of reviewers?

I also invested around the same time as you.

I submitted the paper on August 2nd, and as of September 10th, it is still under review. I am considering withdrawing the submission. The withdrawal request has been sent, but there has been no response yet...

Are you still with WE? What's the situation? I invested in WE on August 3rd and it's still there.
