暗箭 2021-02-02

Update, just received the acceptance letter!

暗箭 2021-02-02

I have written letters to both editors, including the editor in chief. Now it has also become "with editor in chief," I guess I will annoy them to death...

烟波风雨 2021-02-02

That's quite a twist. I originally thought the results would come out soon, but I guess the volume of BOEG submissions is indeed quite large now. The manuscript number for September submissions is over a thousand. Currently, I am still in the "with editor in chief" status.

暗箭 2021-02-01

By the way, my manuscript was reviewed and revised by a junior editor. After returning, it was transferred to a new editor in chief for further processing. I initially thought it would be accepted directly, but he raised a few English suggestions and requested minor revisions. The crucial part is that when I went back with the revisions, the editorial committee probably didn't even look at it and sent it for external review directly. I immediately wrote a letter to the editorial committee, and they promptly took care of it. Now it has been in the "decision in process" status for a while. I was just worried that my manuscript might be submitted to the old editor in chief again, so I wrote another letter.

暗箭 2021-02-01

My manuscript was originally handled by the former editor-in-chief. After the first review was completed, it went into the "decision in process" stage without anyone managing it. I also sent an email to Wong, and he said that my manuscript will be handled by the new editor-in-chief. Then it became "with editor-in-chief." After the second review, my manuscript is now back to "decision in process," and it might still be with the former editor-in-chief. I might have to send an email to the editor again... Otherwise, I am worried that "decision in process" will remain unattended for months.

烟波风雨 2021-02-01

I have also encountered "with editor" for over a month before. At that time, I sent an email to the chief editor and it was resolved. After yesterday's email, the status has now changed to "with editor in chief", so they are probably going to start processing it. I hope for a good outcome. What about you, brother "暗箭" downstairs?

华强的朋友,虎哥的兄弟 2021-01-31

How long does the status of "with editor" usually last for you? I have been waiting for one month and there has been no change so far.

暗箭 2021-01-31

That's difficult. The decision has been in process for so many days and still not processed. I don't know what's going on... I noticed before that it was quite fast. The latest date of acceptance published on the official website is the 21st.

烟波风雨 2021-01-31

Yesterday I sent an email and Wong quickly replied today: the manuscript is not with him, and he will contact the assistant editor to check. So, I guess the matter has probably been forwarded to the new editor Basu and hasn't been dealt with yet...

烟波风雨 2021-01-30

Sure, I will also send an email to ask, but I'm afraid that the result may be average and they will directly reject me... I will reply if I receive any updates.

暗箭 2021-01-30

I don't know why it's so slow now. The new editor-in-chief has already urged once before, and it's not appropriate to urge again now. I have also urged the editorial board responsible for my manuscript once, and they have already handled it. But now it has stopped again when it reached the editor-in-chief...

烟波风雨 2021-01-30

Yes, I also sent a message to Wong before, during the initial review. The Editor invited for more than a month. After that, it was reviewed on the same day, and I don't know why it was so slow this time.

暗箭 2021-01-29

Wong feels quite efficient. I sent an email to Wong and got a reply in 15 minutes, but he is not my editor... I have also been waiting, waiting anxiously.

烟波风雨 2021-01-29

Not yet, really have been constantly concerned, feeling very anxious! It has been almost half a month, and there is still no result. Wong should be the one handling my manuscript.

暗箭 2021-01-28

Brother upstairs, has the decision been made? Who is the editor-in-chief?

ddw0401 2021-01-27

I have been waiting for the second review for over four months. May I ask if your second review department has sent new experts?

KC木木 2021-01-26

Excuse me, but I have been waiting for three months for the major revisions. What are the chances of accepting the moderate revisions suggested by the editor? Has anyone encountered such a situation?

暗箭 2021-01-26

May I ask if Professor Basu is the editor-in-chief of Brother's magazine?

Mine is also showing "Decision Stage" on the 16th, but there is still no news! So anxious...

痴迷科研 2021-01-23

1.23 was given for major revisions, with a requirement to return the revised draft within one month.

暗箭 2021-01-22

I don't know what's going on. After the first round of minor revisions, both reviewers accepted it. However, the editor raised a few language issues, so now it has been sent back for revision. Can you believe the editorial board sent it for external review again? I really want to complain.

痴迷科研 2021-01-22

Decision in Process, still no result until now, let's continue waiting.

烟波风雨 2021-01-21

My application on the 16th also shows "decision in progress". After two rounds of revisions (R2), I hope to receive a positive outcome!

暗箭 2021-01-20

The previous editors were quite fast, but it took me half a day for the first review with a "decision in process" status, and half a month for the second review with the same status. I had to send a reminder email to prompt others to handle it. I guess I'll just have to wait patiently. It doesn't seem very good to rush things.

蓝蓝的爆米花 2021-01-20

It's so terrifying. The submission has been under review for almost 8 months.

痴迷科研 2021-01-16

How many days does "Decision in Process" take? Thank you.

hukey 2021-01-13

Okay, thank you. I submitted in August, and then it changed to "required reviews complete" last month. It has been almost a month now, and I'm still waiting.

痴迷科研 2021-01-10

The status has changed to "Required Reviews Completed." Hopefully, there will be good news.

暗箭 2021-01-09

After the first round of minor revisions, the manuscript is expected to be returned on December 14th. The decision process will continue normally until January. However, it is uncertain now because the previous editor-in-chief, Prof. Resat Ulusay, has stepped down and been replaced by a new editor-in-chief. It's becoming difficult...

Someone downstairs asked about the "require reviews complete" time. Based on my judgment, the external review process is likely completed, and the reviewer's comments have been sent to the responsible editor for your manuscript. The duration will depend on this editor's availability. In my experience, the editor handling my manuscript completed the "require reviews complete" process within a day. After that, the status will show "decision in process." With the change in editor-in-chief, the transition period is expected to be slower. By the way, the previous handling editor has also been replaced...
