It's been submitted for so long and still hasn't been assigned to an editor, why is it taking so long?

Can I change my submission to open access in the future if I did not choose it when submitting to jacs?

The appeal editors don't give a damn about me.

Yes, I appealed at that time, and then the editor gave a reject and resubmit decision. Finally, it was accepted. Good luck!

Hello, is it true that editors who haven't been assigned for a long time will not submit for review?

Hello, how have you been? It seems like it's been a long time since editors have been assigned, so submissions are not being reviewed.

How is Zhang Tao's handling speed of manuscripts? Is he friendly to the Chinese people?

This work has been in progress for 3 years, with a year of submission. It was initially rejected by a new prestigious journal, but ultimately accepted by JACS. Although there is some regret, it can still be considered a good outcome.

Sharing the timeline of the latest submission, the editor is the crystallography expert Prof. Panče Naumov. Thanks to the editor and reviewers for their recognition, and wishing everyone success with their articles.

I have appealed several times, but without success. It is very difficult to appeal to JACS.

It has been over 50 days since submission, and over 40 days in review. The associate editor is Tanja Weil. Is this normal? It has been in peer review the whole time. Are there others with the same editor?

How are you, OP? What could be the reason for this situation?

(0) 讚！ | TT666

I want to ask, after sending it back for rework, it waited for half a month and became "awaiting decision", and then two days later it became "In peer review". What does that mean? Does anyone know?

I submitted on October 9th, but when I went to check the manuscript today, it was gone and I couldn't find it. Does this mean it has been rejected?
