Classmate, how are you doing? I submitted my work on the 17th, and from the 18th until now, it's still with the editor. Why is it taking so long?

The review process takes about two months.

I have been waiting for more than two months to receive the manuscript review, but it came back directly rejected. The wait was too long.

February 21, submitted to the journal; February 22, still with the editor. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly today.

I submitted it quite quickly. The approximate timeline is one day with the editor and three days under review. However, there was a change in the under review date, and I haven't received the results yet. It is possible that recent submissions have been overwhelming, and the editor is busy. My supervisor is an editor of a journal, and he mentioned that during busy times, they usually review submission emails once a week. It should be faster, so let's wait a little longer.

Dear classmates, I submitted my paper to the journal on February 17th. It has been a week and there has been no response yet. Has anyone experienced the same issue? Isn't this journal supposed to be fast? How long did it take for everyone to receive the review?

This journal has a high requirement for plagiarism check in the early stage, and it feels like it should be controlled below 15% at least. Thanks to Prof. Jennifer Strunk for her serious and responsible editing. Although there were some obstacles, the specific questions raised by the reviewers were of high quality and provided great help in improving the article. It took approximately 3 months from submission to acceptance.

I thought I was the only one with a slow reaction. I submitted on the 1st, and now it's also "with editor". But this status is normal for one or two weeks, right?

This journal is too strict, really troublesome, and during the process, I was constantly worried and scared.
Submission on September 14, 2022.
Four reviewers on November 8, 2022, received major revisions after the first review.
Revisions submitted on November 28, 2022 (the response letter was written in single spacing and was 31 pages long...).
Three reviewers suggested acceptance on December 13, 2022, while the fourth reviewer suggested further simplification and major revisions to the framework and logic and requested proofreading by a professional company.
Revisions submitted on January 3, 2023 (the response letter was another 28 pages long...).
Accepted on January 16, 2023 (I really can't believe it, when I previously submitted to Carbon, it was never this troublesome with only two reviewers).

Hello everyone, I would like to ask for your help. Currently, I am submitting a manuscript, but it requires linking with ORCID. However, when I click on "link," it doesn't show up. There was one instance where the login page appeared briefly, but then it crashed. I have no idea what the reason is, and I am stuck at this point. Could you please help me resolve this issue? I'm in urgent need of assistance.

The previous one I received on April 8th, and it will be online for a week on April 15th. It will be online quickly, but if there are a lot of manuscripts, it may be a little slower.
