Personal Experience Only: Submitted one month ago, it took 15 days from submission to "with editor" status (personally, I have submitted to no less than 20 environmental journals, and this one is the slowest). Finally, after waiting for "with editor," one week later, I checked and it was still in the "decision in progress" (personally, gradually becoming insane). Generally, being in the "decision in progress" stage without being sent for review is like a death sentence, but they decided to give me a suspended sentence. Thank you very much, Mr. Editor!!!! After that, I contacted customer service directly, and they said the editor had made a decision, and the email would be delivered when appropriate (personally, ...!!!). It's like they're playing games, rejecting slowly and accepting quickly. It's really disgusting. Rejection already means that I have to spend time resubmitting. I need to clarify that this manuscript was rejected within one day of submission to another journal, so why does JEM need so much time to make a decision??? Finally, unable to bear the agony, I sent an email expressing my protest, stating that if the editor does not intend to send it for review, then they should not make the author wait for such a long time and should reject it anyway. After saying all of this, it has been three days and it is still in "decision in progress." This submission experience is the most disgusting one I have ever had!! (This is only my personal opinion about this particular submission experience and does not represent others).

@mm-esmayil I also dipped like you, how long did it take for you to get a refund? I've been dipped for 4 days and still haven't received it.

"24 changed once."

dragonlord 2022-10-02

@大白梨ljj Did the dates between September 5th and September 26th change with the editor?

大白梨ljj 2022-10-02

I am also a 9.5 with editor, and it has been under review since the 26th.

dragonlord 2022-10-01

Still no news!!!

I wrote two reminder letters but didn't receive any reply. Then, I directly contacted Elsevier's customer service and mentioned that I wanted to change the editor or withdraw my submission. The editor asked me to wait a bit longer. Today, the status is still "with editor," but the date has changed slightly. I have a feeling that it might be rejected!

mm-esmayil 2022-09-24

The submission has been in the "with editor" status for exactly one month. During this period, I sent two reminders, but today it changed to "decision in process." It seems like the editor is impatient and didn't send it for review, instead, they rejected it directly.

Posted on August 30th, with the editor on September 5th, I regret it so much. Damn the journal recommended by Elsevier. I thought using transfer would be faster, but ended up getting stuck.

@dragonlord, how many days has your paper been submitted for?

文博 2022-09-19

@dragonlord How many days have you been investing?

dragonlord 2022-09-19

I am just like you, I sent two reminder letters, and no reply!!!

mm-esmayil 2022-09-19

I have been with the editor for over a month now. I really want to withdraw the manuscript and submit it to another journal, but I don't know how to withdraw it. Sending a reminder letter hasn't been effective either, as I haven't received a response.

文博 2022-09-19

How long? It has been a month and a half and still no review? My goodness, I want to withdraw the submission.

oscarone 2022-09-19

You have only been here for half a month, I have been here for almost 1.5 months.

I submitted the manuscript on August 25th, and received a number on September 5th. It is still with the editor as of September 19th. This speed is too slow, isn't it? Is anyone else in the same situation? I'm afraid to send an email to urge them, as I'm worried about being rejected directly.

dragonlord 2022-09-18

Still no response, I guess the Queen is on holiday and they're off duty!!!

yuanwei1994 2022-09-18

Have you submitted it for review?

mm-esmayil 2022-09-17

On August 28th, I was with the editor, but there has been no change in status. I don't know if I should remind them or not.

甜涩的苦咖啡 2022-09-17

I am the editor for number 5, just like you. May I ask if you have any updates now?

something_ 2022-09-15

Same question, how to ask customer service to know the outcome of the evaluation in advance.

chuck123 2022-09-15

Did you submit it for review?

chuck123 2022-09-15

I submitted it on August 12th and it was with the editor on the 13th. There hasn't been any progress until now. Today, I saw that the system page was updated. Could it be because the website was redesigned recently and the editor hasn't updated the status? Should I remind them to review my manuscript?

... There is still no news at the moment (on the 13th, couldn't help but follow up, but no reply, feels like the queen's absence has a significant impact!)

Excuse me, is this a paid journal?

liuyaowen 2022-09-13

May I ask if this journal charges a page fee?
