After going back and forth for 5 months, I can finally graduate. The editors and reviewers were still quite lenient.

Please update the 2.25 RRC, one reviewer has not reviewed yet.

In June of last year, r2 is now being reworked. The first time there were two reviewers, the second time there were three reviewers. I estimate that we will need to continue inviting new reviewers.

Friend, when did you submit your application? I submitted mine at the beginning of the school year last year, and it's still in the external review stage. They are not responding to my inquiries, and there hasn't been any updates in the system.

This is a journal that is highly recognized in the field of animal nutrition, especially in feed science. The review process can vary greatly, with some being as fast as one month and others possibly taking several years. The external reviewers are extremely rigorous, and the editor-in-chief is also very responsible, requiring revisions for even a punctuation mark or a misspelled word. It is recommended to carefully check each submission multiple times to avoid multiple revisions and delays in publication. Major revisions and minor revisions are generally returned to the original reviewers, and I have encountered cases where it took over two months for a reviewer to accept a revised manuscript. The biggest advantage is the option to not pay publication fees, but the biggest concern is the inability to control the publication timeline.

Why is it taking so long? Is the editor still around? It hasn't changed in months, and they haven't continued inviting reviewers. No one is accepting the review, so it's just sitting there untouched. It's too slow.

2025.12.4 Initial submission
2026.1.4 Major revision with 160 comments. Although there are many, they are indeed professional and very helpful for improving the quality of the manuscript.
2026.2.6 Major revision and resubmission
2026.2.8 Accepted

After the invitation, it became UR, and then according to the tracking link provided by him, each update time represents inviting new reviewers or having reviewers accept the review. If you want to know the specific reviewers, you can ask Elsevier customer service.

After inviting a few reviewers, he just left it alone. If no reviewers accept, it will be stuck indefinitely, possibly resulting in an R&R and waiting around 1 year, depending on luck.

Yes, it's really annoying. Submitted one and it needs to be fixed, please stop torturing people.

The main reason is that the recognition of the old 2nd district industry is very high. The R2 rework in December has been completed, and now we are waiting for the R3 results. It is estimated that there will be R4. My colleague will accept R5 in 3 years.

We have developed aquatic feed for six months and invited six reviewers. If no one accepts the invitation for review, we do not invite anyone else. Aquaculture can invite up to 25 reviewers consecutively. This journal seems to be very high and mighty. Writing reminder letters and recommending reviewers is also not effective, as they keep stalling.

Too slow, it takes 1-3 years to prepare for this.

How is it going? My classmate submitted a paper, but it took a year to be rejected. Another one took 3 years to be accepted.

The OP mentioned that the 4-month period from submission to acceptance, is it referring to the original submission or the revised submission? This journal used to go through about half a year of revisions before asking for a resubmission after the revisions were completed. Also, may I ask in which research direction the OP spent 4 months?

May I ask how much is the current page fee for this journal?

Don't look at the IF when submitting to this magazine. This magazine is a well-known old magazine in the field of animal husbandry, with high industry recognition. Don't submit based on the IF, but based on the recognition is completely fine. The speed is also okay, I have submitted 2 papers, and they were all accepted within 4 months from submission. This speed depends on luck, some reviewers really delay the process.

I submitted my application last November and it hasn't been reviewed yet. Sending emails to ask about it is not effective
