My AE is Kopsaftopoulos, Fotis, and the current status is still Awaiting Reviewer Selection. I am not sure if it has been sent for review yet, it has been exactly one month now, and it is so difficult.

May I ask what is the reason for the rejection?

"Awaiting Reviewer Selection has been going on for almost 2 weeks now, still waiting for this paper to graduate, please hurry up a bit."

This is the second submission to this journal. The previous article was quickly accepted for publication, and the AE was from China. This time, the AE is a foreigner. The submission was made on February 24th, and about a week after designating the AE, the status changed to "Awaiting Reviewer assignment." However, after a few days, it changed back to "Awaiting Reviewer Selection." Does this mean that the invited reviewers declined to review the submission? Has the AE not invited any reviewers? Could it be that only one reviewer was invited?

Ten days for editing, two days for external review.

It's been over a week and the distribution hasn't reached the editors yet. Last year, it only took two or three days for the distribution to reach the editors. Why is it so slow now?

I consulted with the editors at USCD, who said that the initial review process takes two weeks. If it takes longer than two weeks, you can send an email to inquire.

So slow, how long does it take to assign an editor?

(0) 讚！ | pangyushashou

How long does it take to get the external review after submission? And how long does it take to assign an AE?
