How are your results? I applied on January 29th, 26 years ago, and it has been under review for two months now. I don't understand what's going on.

I did not pay the layout fee; 
The first round of review comments will be returned in about 2 months.

Could we waive the publication fee for this journal?

I also plan to submit to this journal. How efficient is the journal? How long does it take to receive feedback after the first submission?

The impact factor is less than 4 points!

Submitted for acceptance, went through 2 major revisions and 1 minor revision, totaling 9 months. The time spent in the hands of the editors varies, sometimes they process it quickly, other times it can be delayed for several months.

However, it must be said that as a classic journal in the field, its professionalism is outstanding. The opinions of the reviewers and editors are very professional and constructive, providing great help to the articles. They probably accept a little over ten papers from domestic authors each year.

2025/09/03 In Screening
2025/09/04 Under Review
2025/09/18 Under Review (Current situation)
Overall, it feels like this journal takes a long time in the screening process. However, as a classic journal, it is the dream journal for researchers~ Hopefully it will be accepted smoothly.

Internal review by the editorial department.

That's probably going to be a tragedy.

After four days of submission, it has been "Under Review" the whole time. Is this being reviewed internally by the editor?

Hello, I have been submitting my manuscript for two weeks, and the status has been Under Review. Is it still under review or is it being reviewed by the editor internally? How long does it usually take for a manuscript to be rejected by the managing editor?

It has been a month and a half since I submitted my application. At first, it was under review for about 20 days, and then it has been constantly switching between "Awaiting EIC Decision" and "Awaiting ME Decision." If they are going to reject it, they should just do it quickly. It's taking too long.

Should it be edited and audited? The status displayed by the previous reviewer during the review was: awaiting reviewer scoring

Can I ask everyone if "Under review" is internal review by editors, and "Under Review" is sending for review? It has been "Under review" for about ten days and suddenly it says "awaiting Me decision," does it mean rejection?

Submission to first received feedback took 3 months, experiencing primarily Under review; Awaiting reviewer scoring; Awaiting reviewers scoring; Awaiting ED recommendation; Awaiting ME decision; Received dozens of feedback, very professional, editor requested major revisions; Second review took a week, minor revisions (not submitted for review), accepted after one week of revisions. As a traditional ecological journal, the overall volume of submissions by Chinese researchers is around 5%, with a high demand for innovative articles. The difficulty of submission is not reflected by the impact factor

The authoritative classic journal in the minds of biologists focuses more on innovation and statistical methods. The long-awaited journal is finally accepted! Hope the journal will continue to improve, and it would be even better if the impact factor could be higher

Submission on August 25, 2023.
Received reviewers' comments on December 5, 2023: Major revision, to be returned within one month (one reviewer suggests major revisions, the other suggests minor revisions, and the editor ultimately recommends major revisions).
Returned for revisions on December 31, 2023.
Accepted on January 8, 2024.
Published online on January 25, 2024.
Overall submission process went as expected (3-4 months from submission to receiving reviewers' comments, similar to what most articles on the official website display). Reviewers were thorough and focused on details, asking rigorous and professional questions. The journal's quality speaks for itself, being a classic in the field of biology and ecology

After a month and a half of being under review, yesterday it changed to the status of Awaiting Reviewer Scores. It's too slow.

I was under review for over a month before receiving feedback, so I think it is being sent for external review

(0) 讚！ | Stanford BurneJones

It has been almost a month, and it is still under review. Has it not been sent for external review yet?
