This journal is indeed slow. My first article was submitted in early November last year and it took nearly 20 days to be reviewed. Now, this article took almost a month and 20 days to be submitted, but the external review gave feedback in just one month.

zhouyi98 2023-05-20

It has been almost nine months under review. I suggest inquiring after two months, and if there is no result, consider withdrawing the submission.

zhouyi98 2023-05-20

Wish you good luck and suggest asking the editor within two months at most.

Overall speed is fine, and the suggestions made by the editor and reviewers are very good. Hopefully, everyone will also have good results.

The speed is outrageous, but it's just a three-zone. It really leaves one speechless.

coco 2023-05-19

At least you got results. I submitted mine earlier on 3.24 and it is still with the editor. I will never touch this journal again in the future.

May 18, 2023 Reject

The editor rejected my submission after almost two months, it's really frustrating. I wasted two months of time for nothing, and now it's difficult to graduate. It's even more frustrating that they took so long to reject it. All I can say is that this journal should be cautiously considered before submitting.

Can I send an email to inquire if there is no response after more than two weeks of receiving?

只想被科研搞 2023-05-13

It has been a whole month since all of my submissions were received, and I have not yet received any publication updates.

qinjin 2023-05-11

April 3rd, under review
Until now, it has been under review and the date has not changed.

top不是梦 2023-05-11

May I ask if the journal has sent you the paper proofreading and copyright transfer statement? I have seen that some papers are proofread and the copyright transfer and online process are completed within a week after acceptance. It has been a week since my acceptance on May 2nd, but I haven't received any further updates.

tutulxg 2023-05-08

Hello, may I ask how you contacted the editor? It seems that the email provided for submission is a proxy email. I sent a follow-up email but it was returned. Good luck to you!

suss 2023-05-08

The submission in early April has been rejected, and the editor recommended several journals through email, asking for opinions on whether to resubmit. I don't know if anyone has experienced this situation before. If I choose to resubmit, should I directly submit to the official website of that journal, or is it sufficient to reply to the editor's email?

zhouyi98 2023-05-05

At first, I always gave you hope, thinking it would be done soon. I even said in emails that we just needed to wait for the next reviewer. But in the end, there was no time left, and I had to rely on it to graduate. Students really shouldn't submit to this. It can really mess with your mindset.

hua` 2023-05-05

This is outrageous, avoided a disaster...

snow merry 2023-05-05

So exaggerated, three years.

dimaxson 2023-05-04

Why don't you withdraw your manuscript? It's been three years already! Are you crazy?

zhouyi98 2023-05-03

2020.8.20 Submission
It has been under review until now, and the deadline on the system keeps changing.
I have sent two emails asking about it, and they said there is only one reviewer, and they couldn't find the other reviewers.
As a graduate of the 23rd class, it is really difficult. I am just waiting to be delayed.

The following text translates to English as: I invested in August of the 22nd year, and as of today, April 30th of the 23rd year, RRC.

小石匠 2023-04-30

May I ask why the articles on the official website are divided into ones with locks that cannot be downloaded and ones without locks that can be downloaded in full? There is also another type called "OA."

no626 2023-04-28

Is there a risk of this journal being kicked out of SCIE? Only discovered these past few days that this journal has an unusually large number of publications, with an annual publication volume of over ten thousand and is also marked as a bi-weekly publication on WOS. It publishes 8-900 articles in a month... There are also many special issues. It feels comparable to SUS. However, the review process is quite lengthy and it is not open access, so it doesn't seem that easy. Could it be kicked out of WOS indexing?

I requested a retraction, but that person deceived me by promising to expedite it. In the end, it still wasn't sent, and they refused to retract it for me. This magazine is absolutely terrible.

Miraclep 2023-04-26

It's really garbage, and I want to withdraw my submission, but they won't let me. They promised to expedite it, but it's still "WITH EDITOR" all the time, and they won't let me withdraw it. What a garbage magazine!!!!

no626 2023-04-25

Not yet, still waiting, probably soon.

小石匠 2023-04-25

No626, is your proof for submission on the 22nd still not online? I saw on the official website that many papers were written with co-first authors.
