Are you brave enough to send a follow-up email to inquire about the progress of the submission?

One month for the first review, rejected in two months.

It took over a month for the submission to be sent for review. Only two reviewers were invited in the first batch, and now almost half a month has passed with no reviewer accepting. The editor has not invited any new reviewers either. I am truly frustrated.

The first month, someone accepted the review and completed it, and then there was no movement at all.

What luck is this? I have been waiting for almost a month for my submission and it is still "with editor".

It may be that you need to write a WORD document. When I submitted it, there was an extra KEy in the SU section, so the system wouldn't accept it and asked for a Word attachment.

There's no need to rush it like this.

The deadline for submissions was December 31st, and as of May 5th, we have invited 20 reviewers, none of whom are willing to review. Around April 15th, we invited 17 reviewers multiple times, and recently added 1 more in the past week. It really feels like a similar situation.

May I ask how long it usually takes to be able to retrieve the record after being hired?

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!
