2022.11.7 with editor
It has been a long time with the editor. I have sent numerous reminders, but each time the editorial department would only reply with an automated response... It's frustrating. Finally, I sent an email to the chief editor and found out that they were on parental leave. Come on, at least let us know if you're taking a break.

2023.3.21 under review
The chief editor probably felt guilty for keeping me waiting for so long, so they only invited one reviewer.

4.10 revise (didn't specify major or minor revisions, but gave a month)

5.2 revisions required

5.29 revise (gave two weeks)

6.1 revisions required

6.6 the editor sent an invitation for review and it was accepted on the same day.

In conclusion, the previous complaints about the journal taking too long with the editor may be due to the fact that the papers reached the chief editor while they were on a several months-long leave... Things should go back to normal afterwards.

To be honest, it's too slow. Let me give everyone a timeline report:
July - nothing significant
August - a whole month wasted
September - no approval from reviewers, pushing - polite response, intensifying search for reviewers
October - only one person agreed to review, pushing - okay, understood, we'll find more reviewers
November - one of the two reviewers who agreed to review is taking a long time to provide feedback, pushing - I can't do anything about it, we've already reached out to 8 people, I'll find a few more
December - received feedback from two reviewers (rrc, probably waiting for the third reviewer's opinion)
January - spent two months making revisions, three reviewers, one suggested it was novel but not within the scope, advised submitting to a journal in another field, one suggested minor revisions, one accepted it
March - returned, thinking since it has already been delayed for so long, will submit after finishing revisions in a week or so
April - accepted just now, the situation is extremely unfortunate

This journal is a bit outrageous.

The first trial result has not yet been announced.

叶子001 2023-04-06

Indeed, after submitting for five months, it was still with the editor and hadn't been reviewed yet. I couldn't wait any longer after six months, so I withdrew the submission via email, and the system approved it the next day. Sigh.

Just withdrew my submission from a journal I've been waiting for eight months. My advisor wants me to submit to this one. If this pace continues, I can't handle it again. This is overwhelming.

ponyer 2023-04-06

Has the first trial been completed now? Submitted in July, and still no response.

wuyinwuxian 2023-03-29

The first trial took more than 7 months. It was filed in April 2022, and it has been over 2 months since the second trial. It's too slow.

In terms of this journal, it has become a journal for those with connections. Different manuscripts receive completely different treatment. Many people in China do not send their submissions for review for three months, leaving it up to the editor to wait for your withdrawal. Meanwhile, those with connections have already completed the publishing proofreading during the three-month wait. One cannot say that the journal is biased, but rather that the current volume of submissions is too large...

2022.07 submission, still under external review until 2023.03, it's truly a terrifying speed.

moyumoyu 2023-02-14

It has been three months, and it is still in the hands of the editor. It is a waste of time. I will withdraw the manuscript directly.

QWL1 2023-02-08

I am too, I submitted it in November last year, and until now it is still with the editor.

Has your result come out?

The translation of the text is: "Even dogs don't subscribe to this journal. I have been waiting for a month and a half."

MINE 2022-12-23

Don't want to say anything else, it's too slow. It took a month to start with the editor. My classmate was rejected after two months, and it has been five weeks for mine. Regret submitting, it's too slow.

CSU_chigga 2022-12-17

I really regret submitting to this trash journal. It's really disgusting.

我不是研究生 2022-12-14

Finally, being able to send it for review is also fine. The most irritating thing is when it is rejected by the editor after being dragged on for a month or two, which is the most shameless behavior.

CSU_chigga 2022-12-12

I have been with the editor for over a month now... I wonder what the editor is busy with every day.

我不是研究生 2022-12-07

Is it necessary for the review process to take this long now?

我不是研究生 2022-12-06

What did the receipt of the submission you received from the OP say?

Arno-Han 2022-11-29

Submitted in early September 2022, it has been almost three months and it is still with the editor. Urging them hasn't been effective. What is the situation with this journal? I have already requested to withdraw my submission.

Did the one you voted for yield any results now?

@#238 2022-11-16

Submitted on September 8th, it is still in the hands of the editor. It's too slow, so I have already requested to withdraw my submission.

Clm111 2022-11-07

May I ask how your submission to the Minerals Engineering journal is going? I have also been waiting for a long time, as I submitted in May and it is still under review.

It's really slow... but it is relatively professional in the field of mining. It has provided a lot of professional opinions related to mineralogy and the second review speed is acceptable. The attitude of the editors and experts is also quite nice.
