It has been half a month since the initial assessment. A couple of days ago, I sent an email to the journal, and they said that there is currently a high volume of submissions and they will process it as soon as possible. However, it has been almost a week since I sent the email and there has been no response yet.

I have been waiting for a long time for my card to arrive. Can you please send a reminder email?

Hello, may I ask how many days it usually takes to receive the publishing agreement email after acceptance? We need to sign the publishing agreement before we can receive the proof, right?

I have also been stuck at the Initial assessment for 7 days.

Why is the progress so slow this time? It has been 10 days and we are still at the Initial assessment stage.

After more than ten days, they sent the proof email, and shortly after proofing, it went online.

How's the progress, brother? I haven't received any proof or online access in nearly half a month either.

The outcome is uncertain, hopefully it can be accepted in the next few days.
However, it is a pity that the impact factor of JMCA may not exceed 10 this year.

On February 20, 2025, submitted for review.
On March 20, 2025, received revised manuscript, with major revisions, from two reviewers. The editor-in-chief proactively sent an email midway through the process, stating that the review time was extended due to the inability to find suitable reviewers.
On April 14, 2025, revised manuscript was resubmitted.
On April 29, 2025, accepted.
Looking forward to seeing the first JMCA paper succeed more and more!

My article was accepted on March 28th, and the publishing agreement was signed on March 29th. However, I have not received the Proof file yet. I would like to ask the experienced predecessors who have published before, how long does it usually take to receive the Proof file? Thank you!

Yusuke Yamauchi, Associate Editor at the University of Queensland, is incredibly efficient, typically processing manuscripts as soon as they are received.

Accept on 28th March 2025.
My first JMCA, I have always wanted one before, finally my dream came true. I sincerely thank my kind-hearted editor, who is efficient and beautiful, and also a respected academician. I am also grateful for the suggestions made by my reviewer, which greatly improved the quality of our paper. The revision letter was 70 pages long, with over 15,000 words, which is a testament to the hard work put in over the past ten days. I hope JMCA continues to improve, and I wish all graduate students to encounter kind-hearted editors and reviewers. Good luck!
