Submitted on July 21, 26 years ago, it is still under review. This magazine is pretty slow.

Senior, may I ask what the current situation is? According to the official website, many articles take 7 to 8 months from submission to acceptance. I have been under the "Undergoing initial checking" status for 4 days now, and I am very anxious as a recent graduate.

Currently, the review process takes two months, and there is no response when inquiring about the situation via email.

The review process was very fast. The submission was made on October 15, 2025, the first review was completed on November 18, 2025, the revisions were returned on December 1, 2025, and it was accepted on January 3, 2026.

In the 21st year, it's really frustrating to see the impact factor skyrocket or plummet. How should I put it, I hope it gets better and better. After all, without page fees, it's already pretty good.

Brother, how is the review speed? Some people say the first review time is very long, is that true?

Review speed: 2.0 | Submission acceptance rate: 25.0 Experience sharing: with underreview for 2.5 months, the reviewers were quite friendly, and their suggestions were relatively fair, even though the submission was rejected

If you need an article to graduate as a doctor, do not submit to this publication. The review process is slow and will waste your time. Do not submit.

The first review is too slow, it takes 6-8 months. Our article has been waiting for proofreading for 4 months, but it has not been published yet. It has been more than 1 year from submission to now

Highlight the innovation of your own research, show prominent features that differentiate from others. The size of the difference is another issue, the important thing is to have a distinction. As long as there is a difference, it is innovative

It’s an old brand journal, and I just got one accepted. The impact factor is relatively stable, and the requirements for data volume and innovation are not too high. But the first review is a bit long for it took 3 months.

Could I ask everyone, it has been almost 4 months since I submitted this magazine, but still no news. Is this a good sign or is it possible that it will be rejected? Please share your experiences
