Hello, it just shows "under review", how can I see if the reviewer accepts the review?

笙歌十里 2023-02-24

Just asking everyone, my article has been reviewed but no one has accepted the review. What should the editor usually do in this situation? What can I do? It was reviewed on the 19th, and until now, no one has accepted the review request.

5 days or with managing editor? It's too slow, isn't it a bit abnormal? I resubmitted on 2.1 and 2.6 is already under review.

笙歌十里 2023-02-18

Just asking everyone, it has been 5 days since I submitted my paper. Is it normal to still be "With Managing Editor"?

Submitted on Oct 16, 2022, a decision was made after almost a month. It continued for 5 days, and I thought it was a rejection from the recommended journal by Elsevier because it took so long. However, it turned out to be a major revision, causing unnecessary panic. I was given a month to make the revisions and resubmit by November 15th. There were two reviewers, one of whom raised many questions, while the other requested an increase in the sample size. However, I had already used up all my samples, so I politely replied that I couldn't increase the sample size but could make careful modifications. The second reviewer accepted this response. After 20 days, there was another major revision, with the first reviewer raising 10 more questions. It's rare to encounter two major revisions, but this time I experienced it. After making the necessary revisions, the paper was accepted on January 5th. I feel that this journal is quite fast, as long as you respond to the reviewers' comments accurately, there are no issues. They are friendly towards the authors, and the review process is relatively short.

Very happy, one shot and it's a hit.

2023.6.21 Accepted translates to "Accepted on June 21, 2023."

November 12th, with the editor, it has been over half a month now and there has been no progress. Speechless.

22 days or With Editor

投已 means "Already submitted". The translation of the text would be:

"Already submitted
Nov 21 With Managing Editor"

After being reviewed for about 40 days, it was rejected. At first, I was quite upset because I didn't think my two years of hard work deserved a rejection. Later, I looked at the review comments and if the reviewer had immediately pointed out the shortcomings of my article, I would have accepted it. However, there was no key phrase, nor did it indicate where my lack of innovation was. They just focused on some insignificant things and said that my data did not match, which I had actually explained and written clearly.

Reading through the entire review, I could sense a strong hostility in the language used by the reviewer, which confused me. I don't know if I offended him with this article or what, or if he knows me and holds a grudge against me. In any case, it's quite perplexing.

Um, I suggest not submitting to this journal and looking for other options, as you might come across unreliable reviewers and waste your time.

11dip,12 reject. Long-term dip indicates that it should be rejected, and Elsevier helps recommend transfer, so it takes a long time.

Still dip, not sure what the outcome will be.

Christian Huck has a high editing efficiency, but it is difficult to find reviewers. One of the reviewers for the first review took over a month to provide feedback.

No matter how high the achievements of scum are, deep down they are still scum.

CQDs 2022-10-19

It's extremely disgusting. I wanted to submit my research to this journal on spectroscopy, probes, and analysis. I suggest not wasting time here to avoid encountering that disgusting person. They took almost a month to handle the manuscript and now they want me to resubmit it to a journal that my advisor submitted to several years ago, which still has no impact factor. This is clearly humiliating and disrespectful. Regardless of their accomplishments, their lack of academic ethics is undeniable.

CQDs 2022-10-17

On October 17th, the status is still "decision in process." I finally understood. This editor only handles manuscripts once a week, and the speed is impressive. This is the most disgusting journal I have ever submitted to. If they don't accept submissions that do not meet their requirements, why don't they reject it decisively? What kind of disgusting operation is it to keep dragging it along?
