After I received the proof in July, I haven't heard any news or seen it published yet, so I dare not rush.

Received on May 27th, and requested an ethics approval two weeks later. Then disappeared without a trace. I actively sent emails to inquire multiple times during this period, but always received replies stating that technical checks were ongoing. I did not change the author order or the institution name. Today (September 22nd), they said that my article did not meet the requirements of the journal and they wanted to revoke the acceptance decision. How can I complain about this journal? Who will compensate for this wasted time??? !!!

Submitted in February, the orthopedic research paper combined clinical and molecular animal experiments. It was sent for first review in April and returned for revisions in July. There were four reviewers, three positive and one negative. After revisions in August, the desk editor requested another ethics file before sending it for second review. It was rejected because it did not meet the journal's requirements. How can I complain about this stupid journal?

The reason for our rejection was that the ethics did not meet the requirements. After sending another email, the journal did not respond. Is the ethics you uploaded in English or Chinese?

It took 4-5 months for the first round of revisions to be submitted to the editor for another external review, very slow...very slow

Submitted a review article, after the first round of revisions, the speed was extremely slow, and they maliciously refused to provide feedback from the original reviewer. It took nearly 3 months and emails were left unanswered. Suddenly received feedback that did not meet the journal's requirements... truly speechless.

Hello, may I ask if after accepting, you received another email from them asking for modifications? After accepting, I received an email stating there were formatting issues and requesting direct email modifications, then a few days later I received the same email. The sender's reply email and sending email are different, so I suspect they did not receive my emails. I'm not sure if this is the reason for the issue.

Don't believe what others say, I personally experienced it once. I received the manuscript in the morning and got rejected in the afternoon by a very disgusting magazine. I suggest everyone not to try it, it's a waste of time and emotions.

One week after submission, we received the external review email. We have carefully checked over your above referenced manuscript, entitled "xxxxx", and I am pleased to confirm that we will now send it for peer review in Annals of Medicine (Elevate).

I'm scared to look at the comments section, I have already returned to revise after the first review, and I haven't received any feedback yet. However, its output has increased significantly in the past 2 years.

Did you wait for half a year after proof was rejected, or was proof rejected after waiting for half a year?

Are you online? I saw some people accept and then reject the submission.

Extremely disgusting magazine. Submitted in November 23rd, 2 rounds of revisions, informed of acceptance in May 24th, then no further communication. Asked for ethical approval a few days ago and provided as requested. Received an email 3 days later saying the article does not meet the journal's requirements and was rejected. No other reasons given. It's been a year in total, with several months spent on experiments. This is the first time I've encountered such a disgusting magazine. Not recommended for submission, not recommended at all.

The review process takes over 1 year, and after acceptance, the proof waits for half a year before being rejected without any reason. This journal is very unreasonable and I do not recommend anyone to submit their work to it.

Is it useless to appeal?

After receiving the rejection four months later, I argued via email with strong language and sincere emotions, but it was all in vain.

The amazing thing about this magazine is that you can't find the email addresses of the editor-in-chief or deputy editor.

I want to appeal, but when I try to leave a message on TF's contact us page, it keeps showing that the submission cannot be made. I don't know what other channels there are for appeals. I haven't even told my supervisor about this yet. In the eyes of others, we probably have become the authors of academic misconduct whose paper was retracted. I am very angry.
