How long does it usually take for the original poster to be awaiting a decision?

The most incredible thing about this magazine is the addition of reviewers halfway through, which has prolonged the review process. It takes three months each time to add new reviewers. Speechless.

Rejected, Gu Ran felt disappointed, but more importantly, she felt sorry for the two years of waiting she had put herself through, and sorry to the other co-authors (someone had warned me two years ago that I might be slow). She remembered that after the minor revision, she naively believed that she would receive the acceptance notification soon, but now it seems quite ridiculous. Looking at this old work from two years ago in her hands, she couldn't help but sigh at her own insignificance.

Can only say that this journal deserves its declining impact factor. This editor has ruined the reputation of this journal. With such a long review process, how many PhD candidates can afford to submit their complete work? Even when you graduate, your paper may not necessarily be accepted.

This is indeed a bit frustrating. According to common practice, when it reaches the minor revision stage, the editor usually provides feedback instead of rejecting the manuscript. This is really disgusting. Moreover, it has been a long time since you submitted it, causing a significant delay. I also submitted an article to this journal, and currently it has been rejected with major revisions after the first review, which took around 4 months.

wusuowei_m 2023-07-12

Really ruthless. Have you achieved the same result as me?

wusuowei_m 2023-07-12

So ruthless. I have undergone three major repairs and one minor repair, but there are still no results.

I have been submitting for a month now, still awaiting editor assignment, a long wait.

fuzzysets 2023-07-07

The most garbage journal, no doubt about it! I have been submitting for nearly 2 years, and it has been rejected three times in a row with major revisions and encouragement to resubmit. The reasons are extremely absurd, I will explain in detail later when I have time.

My direction aligns well with this journal. I haven't submitted it yet. Does this journal have strict page limits for the initial draft? Will it be rejected if it exceeds the limit? My entire article (including everything, no appendices) is 13 pages long, and there is no more room for further reduction. I hope experienced researchers can give me some guidance.

wesley2013 2023-07-02

Brother, you've been investing for over a year. Hang in there until the end, then turn around and smile faintly.

2022.04.28 Submission
2022.11.14 Rejection with encouragement to resubmit
2022.12.10 Resubmission
2023.06.23 Rejection with encouragement to resubmit (also stating that this is the final opportunity)
The review process is too long each time, and now I am struggling whether to resubmit or not. Moreover, I suspect that one of the reviewers has a conflict of interest, as he vaguely mentioned that my approach lacks innovation during the first review, stating that it is similar to a method used in a reference paper (written by a competitor). I have already provided a detailed explanation of the differences and advantages of our approach, but during the second review, he simply stated that the article lacks innovation and needs to be compared more with previous studies. If I resubmit, I can make many changes (such as using a different modeling method to address his concern), but I still find it difficult to convince that reviewer.

RitonXu 2023-06-30

Wow, your situation is even more exaggerated than mine. I have to wait almost seven months every time I submit. Now, after the second rejection, they encourage me to submit again and say this is the last chance. I'm really hesitant about whether to submit again...

wesley2013 2023-06-29

Each time there are always three in total, but at least two are being exchanged. After three rounds, there are already at least seven.
Up to now, it is still under review. Excluding the time I spent on revisions, the review alone has taken almost 20 months.
Now I feel that if this paper cannot change the world, it would be a disservice to the editors and reviewers!!!!

May I ask how many reviewers are there in your first review? Thank you!

Congratulations, OP! I want to share some good news and also take this opportunity to ask if anyone has encountered a similar situation. After my recommendation, it turned into a decision, then changed back to a recommendation after 2 days, and then became a decision again after half a month. Today, it changed back to a recommendation, constantly flipping back and forth without any further review in between.

Did anyone go to the designated proofreading agency for the paper? I saw in the acceptance letter that it mentioned the need to have a native English speaker proofread or go to a recommended proofreading agency for the journal. Please let me know. Thank you very much~

2022.5.20 Submission. We went through two major revisions and a rejected resubmission. Throughout this process, we had a total of around six reviewers. Finally, on 2023.5.30, it was accepted!
