After revising the manuscript, three out of the four reviewers had no issues and the paper was accepted. However, the one reviewer who provided 40 comments was very critical. As a result, the paper was rejected after the major revisions. The author later submitted to a lower-tier journal and it was accepted smoothly.

Is the probability of acceptance higher after major revisions? Is the review process faster after major revisions?

Is the second review fast? I received the results from the first review after assigning it to the reviewer for a week. It has been another week waiting for the second review now, and I am so scared.

You are inviting reviewers, and peer review typically starts at least 3 months. I am now in the fourth month, and the manuscript is in AR.

NB: Please allow time for this process as several invitations may be needed before reaching the required numbers of reviewers. Reviewers may then start their work at different times depending on when they accepted the invitation. It has been this way for a week since submission.

It has been five months since the first trial, but the editor has not replied to my email. What should I do?

I had to wait for 20 days before they reviewed my submission. The journal is so slow.
