It's all the same, it's been almost a month and a half since the external review, and no one has agreed to review the manuscript yet. Currently, seven reviewers have been invited.

Please translate the following paragraph into English:

"我喜欢在周末和朋友一起去户外郊游，感受大自然的美丽和宁静。我们会带着野餐篮子和毯子，找一个草地或者森林里悠闲地度过一天。在这样的时刻，我感到非常放松和幸福。"

Do any friends know what's going on with PT now? Why does the editor keep re-inviting the same reviewers among those invited? For example, they sent out invitations to 5 reviewers a month ago, and then every two or three days they re-invite one of these 5 reviewers, today it's 1 and 4, tomorrow it's 2 and 3. It's been one or two months already, if these 5 reviewers had agreed to review, they would have accepted it long ago, so why keep re-inviting them? Are there no other suitable reviewers? This is the first time I've encountered this situation, I don't understand this behavior.

When you submit your paper, may I ask how many reviewers will be evaluating it?

Another change occurred on April 12th, where we invited a new reviewer. However, no reviewer has accepted the review yet. It's really slow, to be honest.

Oh no, the editor-in-chief is also in the same direction as me...

Could you please let me know which editor is in charge? I am also planning to submit this, but I have heard that the response time is quite slow.

I remembered it wrong, it's been about eight months.

After being hired for five months, the second reviewer, who was finally found, disappeared during the second review. The editor decided to accept the paper directly. It fell into the second tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is not in the top tier. It is quite in line with the current situation. This also marks a more or less conclusion to my graduate student career.

Excuse me, is there no "ur" section? Do we go straight to "rc" after "we"?

Using tracking plugins, if the date changes, it means editing and inviting reviewers. The editor is very responsible, inviting every two or three days, just repeatedly inviting from the already invited list. It's very strange, why is it like this? Could it be that the editor and the reviewers have a conflict, and must have the selected reviewers review? Or is it that only these few reviewers are in the PT reviewer pool?

Blood loss, the impact factor dropped when submitting the manuscript, unable to find reviewers, it took almost a year for the review process, and even after acceptance, it's not top-ranked for just a few months. What's wrong with this journal!

It's the same. My current editor is not inviting new reviewers. Instead, they keep repeating invitations to the same reviewers who have already been invited. So far, not a single reviewer has accepted. It has been a month since the external review started, and I am really worried that these reviewers will get annoyed by the repeated invitations and just reject the invitation directly. There are so many reviewers, why not invite a few more? For example, CEJ keeps inviting new reviewers as long as no one accepts the invitation. This way of handling reviews is truly torturous.

I haven't made any progress for almost a month, it's been so hard to endure.

Just look at the picture directly, similar to the experience sharing below. Entered external review on 3.12, still no reviewer agrees to review the manuscript. It requires patience to submit to this journal, hoping for a good result before graduation in June.

I have been waiting for a month as well. How long have you been submitting your work? It's hard to withdraw the submission now, it's really heartbreaking.

After undergoing major and minor revisions, I was hired within just two months. Huge shoutout to editor J. S. Curtis for his efficiency at every stage.
