It took 7 months, two rounds of rework, multiple reminders, two complaints, and requests to change the editor (but I don't know if it was ultimately changed). The process was very difficult. Finally accepted. BMC second article.

After more than a year of rejection, with three rounds of revisions, the second revision was accepted by two out of three reviewers, one of whom gave negative feedback. The editor provided minor revision suggestions, which were implemented and sent back to the reviewer who had given negative feedback. However, the paper was rejected again. The reviewer with negative feedback seemed like an AI reviewer, as their comments lacked specificity. How can one appeal in this situation when the journal and editor have not responded to the appeal email sent a month ago?

The first submission was quick, taking just over two months from submission to acceptance. However, the first round of revisions has been delayed for over three months now, and even after two weeks of revisions, it is still stuck in the technical review stage. It's really dragging on, and luck may truly play a role in the speed of the process.

After this magazine was submitted, two reviewers agreed to review it. One month later, the first reviewer's comments came back, but the second reviewer's comments never arrived. After asking three times, all responses were polite but unhelpful. After 10 months of waiting, the submission was rejected with only one reviewer's comments, which were clearly generated by AI and only checked the format without providing any specific feedback.

Submitted an article on myomectomy during caesarean section. A series report of 50 cases, two reviewers accepted and completed the review on the same day, so quickly, I don't know what the result will be. Waiting.

I invited more than 10 reviewers, and they all agreed. It won't come back with 100 comments, will it?

I invited more than 30 reviewers in the past 6 months. One reviewer has submitted feedback after several reminders. I have kindly suggested withdrawing the submission twice, but the response was to wait for the last feedback before making a decision. However, the withdrawal was not successful.

The review for the major revision of the paper submitted in April 2024 was provided this month. What's funny is that the reviewer's comments on my manuscript summary included a second round of analysis suggestions.

The factors that led to the delivery were related to orthopedics. It took more than a year from submission to acceptance, with another year spent on peer review and finding reviewers. The main reason for the delay was the difficulty in finding reviewers, but the review comments were quite friendly. After revising the paper, it was quickly accepted for publication.

I agree, it feels like submitting to this magazine is just a scam. I submitted my article on September 4, 2024, and in January 2025, I finally found a reviewer. But after that, there was no news at all. I followed up many times, but only received polite replies with no further information. In early August and late August, I sent two more reminders, only to be directly rejected. It was a complete waste of a year, with no updates in between and no mention of revisions or rejection. They do not respect the authors who submit their work, it's a terrible publication.

Is there any response now? I submitted in January, received the review comments at the end of January, but there has been no further communication so far. I have followed up, but only received a polite reply.

Hello teacher, may I ask if this magazine accepts articles on systematic reviews and meta-analyses?

Sorry, it looks like the editor has run away. Quickly send an email requesting a new editor or withdraw the submission.

The editor has invited more than 10 reviewers.
There are 3 reviewers that have accepted to review your manuscript. 
Are all the reviewers invited at once? ^_^

More than a year has passed since the first trial without any news. The system has shown early on that the reviewer's opinion has returned, but the first trial result has not been given. Emails keep saying that a decision is still being made. Can we withdraw the submission? It's too slow. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Yes, teacher. I am so lucky. I hope you can give me more guidance. Thank you, teacher.

Striking a Balance Between Aesthetics and Safety: A Comparative Study on the Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes of Mini-Incision Cesarean Section. I am your editor! This is the smoothest manuscript I have had in recent years.

Submitted on December 10, 2024, after major and minor revisions, it was accepted on January 28, 2025. The direction of the cesarean section was a small incision. It went quite smoothly.

Can you please update us on the situation and let us know how things have been progressing?

The editor replied to the email saying that the manuscript has been sent for external review, but the status has not been updated on Research Square and the submission interface. Has anyone else encountered this situation?

Could you please tell me how to obtain an account for the Research Square website as a corresponding author? Do I need to register? I have tried registering several times, but the website does not respond and I am unable to log in.
