May I ask the recent big shots who have been accepted, is the process to wait for the APC email to pay the fee after receiving the accepted email before starting the proofreading? Thank you.

I didn't expect it to be so slow!!! I submitted the manuscript in July last year, received the first round of reviews in April this year, made minor revisions within 2 weeks, and felt pretty satisfied with my revisions. And guess what, it was sent out for peer review again in July... Still looking for reviewers... I really don't understand, truly don't understand...

Review Speed: 12.0 | Submission Acceptance Rate: 50.0 Experience Sharing: Very slow, the whole process took almost a year. Surprisingly, there were 3 or 4 rounds of revisions. The first round was the reviewer's comments, and the rest were all from the editor. No matter how minor the errors were, it took a month to receive a response after revising. However, the acceptance and publication process was lightning fast. It felt like as soon as the payment was made, the article was online the next day, and on PubMed the day after.

I have also been waiting for peer review for over two months. I thought I was in the queue until I saw your message

The review process is quite fast. I submitted on April 17, 2024 and received the revision comments on May 6. Hopefully it will be accepted in the end

I have been in the peer review process for over 7 months now, and my manuscript is still under review. I have already inquired about the status once, and was told that they are still looking for an editor. It's giving me a headache

It has been 4 months since I couldn't find an editor. I only found out when I sent an email. I thought it had already been reviewed, but I didn't expect that I couldn't even find an editor

Review Speed: 12.0 | Submission Acceptance Rate: 50.0
Experience Sharing: The review process is very slow. It took me 3 months to find an editor initially, thinking it was for finding reviewers. Eventually, I realized I hadn't found an editor at all, which was quite absurd. It took nearly 8 months from submitting the initial draft to receiving the first review comments. Moreover, the Initial technical check required multiple revisions each time, with details more precise compared to other journals' publication stages. Proceed with caution when submitting

After I submitted directly, I added some more information, and it became peer review the next day

Too slow, really slow, the scoring is still so slow, not recommended.

Is it normal for the editor to still be invested after a week?

Simply read the abstract and conclusion to determine how much of your content has already been published; quickly organize and submit to journals with lower Impact Factors than those already published
