Innovation and contributions are not enough to say, after more than a month without submission, it was directly rejected. How should I put it, it's still better than not submitting for half a year.

Hello, may I ask for the reasons for the rejection?

The progress is still a bit slow.

Same here, now it has been a week since I had my car repaired and I haven't received any updates yet. I also went through a major repair before.

How long has it been quiet behind me, my current state is the same as yours before.

Two months is considered fast. The journals I submitted to before usually took over six months for review. Just have to wait patiently.

The editor-in-chief swathi.venkatesan@springernature.com is said to be quite slow, so we'll just have to wait.

Not submitted yet, still in the "work in progress" section, seems like most recent submissions are like this.

Blocked me for a month, then rejected me, disgusting journal.

The third reviewer (two weeks) replied, and the editor took three days to respond as of today. The first and second reviewers accepted directly, but the third reviewer is probably an AI reviewer and didn't read my revisions point by point. It seems like they just passed my manuscript to the AI, and there are several conflicts between the review and my revisions. Some things that they said I didn't do, I actually did. It's really unlucky. I spent over a month revising and doing many experiments just hoping for a direct acceptance, but now I encountered this guy. What is he trying to achieve? Does he want to review the manuscript multiple times? I hope he can accept the revisions this time. It's really frustrating. I submitted the manuscript in early June last year, and it's still not accepted. Please let me graduate soon. I can't take it anymore!

The editor-in-chief is swathi.venkatesan@springernature.com. It usually takes about one and a half months, but if it exceeds two months, send a reminder letter. If rejected, switch to another journal. This was also the case when I submitted to cuiv before.

I want to ask if you have submitted it for review. It has been a month and a half and I still haven't submitted it for review.

I want to ask which editor you are. Does this journal take two months to review?
