I submitted an article at the end of August last year and it was accepted quite quickly, within three months. When I started reading the comments, many people were saying it was slow, but I may have just been lucky to have a good editor, who was Chinese and processed it very quickly.

The submission was made at the end of June 25, and the first review comments came back at the end of August, giving a three-month revision period. The comments were actually not bad, but it was dragged until the end of November before resubmission. The second round of review lasted for nearly three months, and it was finally accepted at the end of February 26.

It has been three months since it was submitted for editing, and it has been ongoing for two months, the slow pace is frustrating!

I will supplement the possible acceptance rate. I submitted on October 3, 25, and was given the D number 1858. So according to the calculation of 400 submissions per year, the acceptance rate should be around 17%. The editor handling my manuscript has the characteristic of returning it to the original reviewer, whether it is minor or major revisions, so the process may take longer. Finally, I hope my experience is helpful to everyone.

I have been submitted for 7 months, and today the second round has been returned for revision. Journals under Springer's umbrella seem to have a cycle of at least half a year!

Abnormal, it should be normal within around 15 days.

I want to ask how long it took for the first time? I have been looking for a reviewer for almost 2 months, is that normal?

Could you please advise me on the situation where my submitted article was in "editor assigned" status after minor revisions, but then changed to "editor invited" 2 days later? Does this mean a new round of peer review will start again, causing a longer wait time? I have contacted the editorial office for clarification but have not received a response yet.

How is it going now? It has been a month since I submitted my paper and it is still showing as Editor Invited. I am surprised.

Has there been any result after the Editor Assigned on September 11, 2025?

The speed is so slow that it exceeds your imagination. It was submitted in January 2015, and now it's September 26th, and it's still under review.

How can I contact the editorial department? I couldn't find the email address of the editorial department on the official website, and the emails to the chief editor saying they cannot control the review process.

How can I withdraw my submission? I couldn't find the editorial department's email on the official website, and when I wrote to the editor-in-chief, they said they couldn't control the review process.

It's really too slow. It's been over half a year since February 21, 2025, and we still haven't received the review comments.

Avoid the pitfall, it has been almost two months and still waiting for the editing processing status. If the status remains the same after two days, I will withdraw the submission. It's really a waste of time, so for those who are eager to graduate, please be cautious.

It's really too slow, too slow, too slow. I submitted it in May, it changed to Under Review once in the middle, and now it has become reviewers assigned. Is it going to be a tragedy?
