May I ask if Xiaoxiu has only been doing language editing for a long time and has now become a new reviewer?

Can I ask if Xiao Xiu only needs to edit and make language revisions, and then resubmit for UR, or does it still need to be submitted for review?

Could you please translate the following paragraph into English: May I ask if Xiaoxiu only needs to edit the language and resubmit, the status has been UR all the time. Should I send it to a new reviewer or something else?

Can you please clarify if the minor language changes have been made and the document is still in UR status? Has it been submitted for review?

Are you looking for a new reviewer?

You are not the first to be rejected by the fifth review.

I am now at least 30% responsible for this journal. Here is a timeline:
December 2, 2022: Submission
January 5, 2023: Under review
April 27, 2023: Rejected and encouraged to resubmit
June 13, 2023: Under review
October 17, 2023: Reviewer requested revisions (clearly a change in reviewer)
November 4, 2023: Under review
April 14, 2024: Minor revisions
July 24, 2024: Reviewer requested revisions again (I had already graduated with a master's degree by this time)
August 16, 2024: Under review
June 8, 2025: Minor revisions again (they continued to change reviewers, frustrating me)
January 2, 2026: Reviewer requested revisions again, and I was diagnosed with severe depression and bipolar disorder half a year later
January 20, 2026: Under review
April 10, 2026: Major revisions (I was receiving treatment at the hospital that day)
August 25, 2026: Rejected (not in scope, did not reference the latest papers)
In total, it took 44 months, and it was ultimately rejected. TSMC, you are amazing! Thumbs up to you.

Is it normal for it to keep showing "awaiting admin processing" after submission? It has been three days already.

The rejection and resubmission of all TRANS journals are not included in the submission cycle. Only the final round of major/minor revisions begins the submission cycle. Therefore, the published article may appear to have a short cycle, but in reality, it has undergone a long process of peer review and revisions. If you still haven't figured this out...

The new features and novelties of the current work compared with existing results should be further emphasized to show the true contributions from your work. Both rounds of editing have mentioned this suggestion, it was already addressed in the previous round, do I need to respond again in this round?

The submission guidelines on the first page specify that the submission should not exceed 14 pages.

It has indeed been audited externally.

May I ask if there is a page limit for initial submission to this journal? If so, what is the limit?

From last year until now, there has been one round of rejection and resubmission, two rounds of major revisions, and a recent round of minor revisions. The reviewers had no further comments, but the senior editor provided some suggestions for polishing. It has been several days since the revised manuscript was sent back. I wanted to ask if it has been sent out for external review again?

I submitted the paper last year and have gone through two rounds of peer review plus one round of minor revisions. A few days ago, the revised paper came back and three reviewers agreed, while one raised a few minor issues. Seeing many people say they felt anxious about their paper being rejected after minor revisions.

A similar journal, TCYB, had a student's minor revisions rejected by the editor-in-chief of TCYB, leaving the student feeling confused and perplexed.

A classmate's paper spent nearly 2 years on this journal and was rejected, so be cautious about submitting. Some reviewers' opinions seem to have been generated by AI, making it difficult to understand.

Totally agree, I reviewed a paper a few days ago with 6 reviewers (2 newly added reviewers) and 5 associate editors, it was terrifying.

I submitted it last April and made revisions twice. This time, five new reviewers were assigned and provided feedback.

As a first district TRANS, the editor does not respect the author's work. Even if there is a slight problem with the reviewers, the editor will endlessly invite reviewers. The first submission was in May 2025, and the first review was in September 2025. There were 7 reviewers plus the AE's comments, a total of 80 comments, and it was rejected for resubmission. After three months of revisions, it was resubmitted for a second review, and 5 new reviewers were invited. 3 reviewers accepted, and 2 reviewers accepted after revisions, all for minor errors such as citing references. The revisions were completed in February 2026. For the third review, 4 new reviewers were found, all of whom were AI reviewers. Some of the reviewers had the same opinions as the first review, and even the title was written incorrectly. In this situation, the editor rejected the submission. It is really exaggerated. Even the best article can become "shit" after being revised based on the opinions of over ten people, wasting several months. It's really frustrating.

I submitted an article to MSSP before, it was very similar to yours. It went through six reviewers and one associate editor, but unfortunately it was rejected upon the second review. Such a tragedy.

I did not need to remain anonymous when I applied in August last year and in early March this year.
