Will it be rejected after receiving it in principle? It has been ten days and still no news...

Has your become blank and hasn't changed since?

Are you a reviewer? Can't find the assigned editor?

飞天鸟 2022-08-30

Email communication, editing vacation.

The same, mine was sent for external review at the end of July. In mid-August, the status changed to blank, and I thought the editor was editing it. However, after two days, it changed back to consideration.

Weijer17 2022-08-30

Mine is the same, the reviewer has reached out.

Has the status of your manuscript changed to blank?

xixilidao 2022-08-30

Submitted on July 26th, informed about external review on August 15th. The status then changed to "Manuscript under consideration" and "Contacting Potential Reviewers." On August 16th, the status became blank. Can I ask if this means it has been sent for external review but sufficient reviewers have not been found yet?

We have been in contact with the reviewer for over a month.

I've been waiting for quite a while too. It has been 29 days since I submitted, and it is still under consideration. I haven't received any news regarding the review, so I'm not sure if the editor is too busy.

The first review took a total of 15 days, from "All Reviewers Assigned" to giving review comments. There were 3 reviewers, and major revisions were required, including the addition of animal experiments.
The second review took 25 days, and an additional reviewer requested supplementary experiments.
The third revision took 13 days.
The fourth revision took 8 days, mainly focusing on formatting changes and submitting raw data. Finally, it was accepted.
It took a whole 9 months from submission to acceptance, and the review comments were extremely challenging.

My progress is almost there, August 9th is under consideration, until now. Maybe there are too many drafts recently, or is it vacation mode now?

123t 2022-08-25

It has been 18 days since the submission, and it is still under consideration. Did the editor forget to process it? Or did they forget to send a rejection letter?

Weijer17 2022-08-25

About ten days or so have passed, and the situation has not changed until now. I don't know what step we have reached.

show123 2022-08-24

Same, under consideration for 15 days.

马铃薯炖土豆 2022-08-18

Same question, under consideration for 11 days.

瓜瓜啃大瓜 2022-08-16

Excuse me, everyone, how many days does it usually take for the status of "under consideration" to change?

瓜瓜啃大瓜 2022-08-16

May I ask how long the status from "under consideration" to "contacting potential reviewers" has lasted?

豆豆花开 2022-08-09

"Having a three-week period under consideration is normal, and our article is also similar."

独爱rose 2022-08-05

There may be too many drafts to handle, and the editor may not have time to process them, or the editor may take a vacation in July.

2022.07.21 Submission is still under consideration until now, does anyone know why?

(Three weeks after submission, it received a desk rejection.)

What direction is the original post's article about?

Weijer17 2022-07-25

How are you doing, OP? Has it been reviewed or not?

Phyllis77 2022-07-21

Hello, may I ask how long it takes for the assignment to be allocated after you submit it? It has been several days and I have not been assigned an editor. Is this normal?

alexanderaza 2022-07-18

It has been almost three weeks under consideration, and a decision on whether to submit or not has not been made yet. I wonder if anyone else has encountered this situation recently.

The overall submission process is more comfortable compared to other journals, so it should be considered a good journal.

Advantages:
Fast handling of manuscripts;
Specific reasons for rejection are provided even if the manuscript is sent for review (other journals use template rejection letters);
The review information and response letter are publicly available when the article is published;
Open Access (OA).

Disadvantages:
The publication fee is too expensive;
The annual publication volume has increased several times (which may also be a good thing as it increases the acceptance probability).

Tom哥 2022-07-11

7 days is considered relatively normal, the first time usually takes around 15-25 days to decide.

The algorithms beyond the index are the most criticized, only they can understand it!
An algorithm that cannot be generalized.
A "beyond index" that has never been truly disclosed!
At least, the Impact Factor is published every year, but no one knows what the "beyond index" is.
The journal's "beyond index" is still "half-covered with a veil."
Every year, when the area is announced, everyone will criticize it, and there will always be arguments in the comments of certain journals.
When will the Chinese Academy of Sciences establish understandable and universally accepted standards for areas through public voting?
We are not against the progress of domestic journals,
but it is too much to artificially promote growth.
Isn't this self-deception,
harming Chinese researchers?

Just submitted an article on Earthquake swarms. I feel that the processing speed recently has been decent, hoping for some good luck!
