It has been over a month and the manuscript is still "with editor" without any request for reviewers.

It's been almost a month, and it's still with the editor.

(0) 讚！ | bagamagic

It took a total of 14 months to receive the review.

SJ editors invited a total of 8 reviewers to review.

There were a total of 7 rounds of revisions.

In the second round, 3 reviewers agreed to review and all recommended acceptance, but new reviewers were continuously invited in subsequent rounds.

Each time revisions were requested, the editor would only send invitations after at least a month.

One editor was particularly procrastinating, hopefully no one else will encounter this.

Submitted on 6.13, First reviewer(s) invited on 8.3, Reviewer(s) accepted on 9.1. Unable to find reviewers, reminder sent on 10.8, only replied on 10.28. The Editor-in-chief and Associate Editor are all Indians, and their efficiency is extremely slow!!! Do not submit to them under any circumstances!!!

At that time, I didn't pay attention to the composition of the editorial department. Later, I realized that all the editors were Indians, extremely slow and sluggish. The editors who did not submit for review were rejected, and it took them half a year to finish the work!

May I ask if you have successfully withdrawn the submission? How did you withdraw it? Did you send an email to the editorial office? There is only the email address of the editorial office here.

Did you successfully withdraw your submission? I also want to withdraw mine, but I only have the email address of the editorial department.

How do I withdraw a submission? There is only an email for the editorial department, not for the editors. Can I withdraw my submission by sending an email directly?

May I ask if the withdrawal of the submission was successful? Is the email address to send the withdrawal request to the editorial department? I also would like to withdraw my submission.

(0) 讚！ | 赵文浩

Which email should I send the withdrawal request to? There is only the editorial department's email, no editor's email. Should I send it to the editorial department only? There is no editor's email in the system.

I want to ask everyone which website they used to submit their articles. Is it the official website of BMC Geriatrics or the journal displayed on LetPub for submissions?

Excuse me, can the editor-in-chief allow to switch the positions of two corresponding authors during the revision period for this journal?

Excuse me, teacher, how much is the article processing fee approximately?

A total of 3 papers were submitted, and 2 were accepted. The first paper was submitted in April 24th, 2014, but was returned after the second review, and it took 2 months to be returned. The second paper was submitted in April 24th, 2014, and was accepted after three revisions, taking 6 months to be accepted. The third paper was submitted in May 24th, 2014, and underwent external review for 9 months, with a new expert sought for the third review. It was finally accepted today, taking 12 months to be accepted. Overall, the reviewing experts were very professional, with an average of 3 experts consulted for each accepted paper, and an average of at least 10 review comments. However, the speed of external review varied, with the official website stating an average time of 8 months from submission to acceptance, but actual submission times were longer. Those in a hurry to graduate or apply for promotion should not submit their papers hastily.

After returning from the second repair, there has been no movement after the technical check, and there has been no response after sending an email to the editorial department.

Have you received yours? It has been four to five months for me as well. I see that the reviewers have already given their feedback, but there has been no movement at the editorial office. Sending reminders doesn't seem to help.

May I ask how your manuscript is progressing now? Mine also went back for revisions, and has not made any progress since passing the technical check. I am getting anxious.

Submitted for 8 months, accepted after one major revision, overall the speed is okay. The main reason for the delay was the time spent on PR. The comments from the three reviewers were very professional, and they pointed out even the smallest formatting errors. There were a total of around 40 issues to address in the first major revision, some of which were crucial and required a lot of time to fix. I also learned a lot from the reviewers' feedback. Good luck to the next one!!!

Family members, I submitted the manuscript on 24.6.9, received feedback on 9.10 for revisions, and until now on 25.1.2, the revised manuscript has not been processed after passing the technical review. What should I do? The reminders are not answered, and it seems like they haven't even been read. I can see from email tracking that they are marked as unread. Please help, this is the second round of revisions, and even a new reviewer was invited for the second round. How can I get in touch with them?

What should I do if I can't reach the editor or the editorial department? It's been four months since I submitted my revisions and they still haven't been processed.

Hello, I have been waiting for a reply for 5 months. Could you please provide me with the email address for withdrawing the submission? Also, can you give me the email address of the journal for contact? Thank you.

Review speed: 24.0 | Submission acceptance rate: 5.0
Experience sharing: I do not recommend submitting to this journal. The review process is very slow and the editors do not respond to emails. I had to send withdrawal requests four or five times before successfully withdrawing my submission after more than ten days.
