In addition, overall, the difficulty of journal publication is not very high, and the requirements are not particularly demanding.

I submitted an article several months ago and couldn't help but write a letter to the responsible editor asking for an explanation. They admitted that they had been unable to find a reviewer and suggested that I recommend some reviewers myself.
Recently, I submitted another article and received a rejection letter after more than nine months (obviously, they still couldn't find a reviewer). One reviewer directly criticized the foundation of my work as unreliable and didn't give me a chance to explain before rejecting it.
As an editor for several journals myself, I find it difficult to find reviewers, but I usually manage to find 3 to 4 reviewers within two weeks. I don't quite understand the efficiency of Scientometrics.

Journals exist to reject manuscripts, and the comments provided by the third reviewer do not meet the requirements of the journal. It is clear that the editor acted as the reviewer and did not provide any substantial review feedback. This wasted two months, and I will not submit to this journal again.

Is it because of urging for an article, or is there any objection?

Send an email to the editor urging for the submission, but the system displays a rejection. It has been delayed for over three months.

Mine is the same, there was news after the editor was assigned.

Posted on August 18, 2020, and rejected in the first review on June 25, 2022. The editor was reminded twice during this period. The first reminder was in November 2021 when my advisor sent a withdrawal letter, but the editor did not reply. The second reminder was on June 1, 2022, when I sent a follow-up letter to the editorial department. One reviewer barely addressed the content of the article and instead raised some formatting issues, indicating a lack of careful review before rejecting it. It was a very poor submission experience, and the editor was extremely irresponsible.

There is no news at all.

Hello, have you received any reply for the manuscript you submitted? I'm thinking of submitting one myself lately, and based on the comments from previous years, the review process seemed quite fast. However, it appears to be slower recently. How about your situation?

Has there been any change in the intermediate status? I had been assigned as an editor for a month, then it changed to editor invited after a week, and now it has changed back to editor assigned after a month and a half, but I still don't know what the situation is.

I voted for one month as an editor assigned, then it turned into an editor invited after a week, and now it has been over a month and a half and I still don't know what the situation is.

I submitted as an editor for a month and was initially assigned. After a week, it changed to editor invited and then reverted back to editor assigned. It's been over a month and a half, and I still have no idea what's going on. It feels like there are very few experience posts available since the update.

Is no one submitting articles to this journal now?

JanSamuel 2022-04-09

Hello, may I ask how many days approximately it takes for the status "editor invited" to change to "under review"?

JanSamuel 2022-04-09

Hello, may I ask how many days it usually takes for the status "Editor Invited" to change to "Under Review"?

Not long after, it's been almost a little over a week.

Hello, may I ask how long it takes for the submission to be "under review" after submission? I've been waiting for half a month and it's still "editor assigned"....

zyhlff 2022-01-07

The first trial takes two months, the second trial takes one month, and then one reviewer is very serious and insists on a third trial, which takes another month. In total, it takes four months.

Zhipeng Qiu 2022-01-07

Hello, I would like to ask you, how long did the first trial approximately take?

zyhlff 2022-01-05

The journal seems to have a good reputation in the field, but I don't know why it dropped to Zone 3. The speed is average, not very fast, and I feel that the peer review process is becoming stricter.

Zhipeng Qiu 2021-10-23

The review speed of this journal is particularly slow. It has been over a year, and there has been no response to the first round of comments. The journal has even changed its focus this year. If you are in a hurry to graduate, it is advised to be cautious about submitting to this journal!

This journal is extremely slow in speed. I waited for 50 days, and only then was it rejected by the editor.
