Your submission experience is similar to mine.

I think BMC Genomics has strict control over articles and demands high quality. I hope it can reach Zone 1 in the future with a high impact factor. I support BMC Genomics. I will share my submission timeline in the comments for everyone's reference and exchange. I wish everyone a smooth research journey.

Format review is really a waste of time. The requirements are different each time, and each editor has their own preferences, which feels very unprofessional. With the major revisions suggested by the reviewers and the rejection from the editor, BMC Genomics is definitely starting to decline. I do not recommend submitting.

The initial editor was very good, but after changing editors, I couldn't directly receive the emails sent back by the reviewers.
It took a total of 7 months, and we asked for reviewer comments. The editor-in-chief sent them to everyone, but another editor said a system change was needed.
Since I never received the reviewer comments, I resubmitted the paper as it was, and it was rejected.
They said it didn't fit the scope, and by this time, it was already the third submission.
Furthermore, this journal has a pre-submission quality control, which is just for formatting. It's usually a waste of time to make formatting changes before acceptance. Also, the standards for each quality control round were different. We had already passed round A, but then they wanted to make some suggestions in round B.
I sincerely do not recommend submitting to this journal unless your paper is very well polished, as the editing staff was previously very disorganized.

It took more than a year in total, going back and forth, and it was so difficult and slow. It is advised to give up if you are eager to graduate, as it can be mentally exhausting. It took a month to accept the result of the second review.

Hello, may I ask how long it takes for the status "Quality check in progress" to be "with editor, under review" when you submit?

Echo_Yuan 2021-08-19

Hello, have you found out the status of your manuscript? I also want to check, but I don't know where to check from.

BMC is now under the system of SpringerNature, and the corresponding author can check the review status through ResearchSquare.

I would like to inquire about how to check the status of a submission for review. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thank you~

From submission to acceptance, it took a total of 5 months, with one major revision and one minor revision in between, and then it was accepted.

The editor is a great expert with over 40,000 citations and is very responsible. According to Research Square's data, the editor sent review requests to 20 people, and ultimately 16 people agreed to review. At that time, they were scared and thought they would be attacked and killed. The first review result was a major revision, which only included the opinions of two reviewers. One reviewer was almost accepting, with only one small suggestion and a few spelling corrections. The other reviewer was more strict, pointing out the flaws in the article and suggesting modifications. After carefully studying the second reviewer's opinions, additional data analysis, result organization, figure creation, and article modifications took a total of one month. The acceptance was received one week after the response.

I have been applying for six months, attended two interviews, and in the end, I was rejected.

What's the rush? BMC editors are very serious, it took me a year to get mine accepted.

可盐可甜 2021-02-23

Hello, have you followed up? What is the current result?

可盐可甜 2021-02-23

Do the editors have any objections?

The manuscript review took seven months. There was a reminder in the middle, and there were no major issues with the review comments, just some minor flaws. The editor refused to make any improvements. Oh, I feel so sad!
