I submitted it at noon on 4.15, and the manuscript number was assigned that evening. The status changed to "awaiting editor decision or reviewer confirmation." The date changed to 4.17, but the status is still "awaiting."

26.4.20 assigned manuscript number
Is assigning a manuscript number for review? Will it still be assigned if rejected?

If the review article is submitted, the chances of it being accepted are very high.

Recently submitted, following up on submission status in real time, not sure how long it usually takes for this journal to go from submission to decision to send for review.

My application was not submitted for review, and after a few days it was rejected. It was too difficult.

Although rejected, the opinions of the four reviewers were quite professional and insightful. We made many revisions based on their feedback and gained a lot from the process. In the future, we will prioritize submitting articles to AB.

This is my first review article, and I would like to express my gratitude to the editors and reviewers. The editors were very efficient in handling the manuscript, and the reviewers' feedback helped improve the quality of the paper. I wish Acta Biomaterialia continued success in the future!

The editor-in-chief just told me that the approval rate is 25%.
