This magazine is really frustrating. I have previously had two articles published in it and have also helped my partner and senior colleagues submit many manuscripts. I can say that I have a lot of experience in submitting articles, but the experience with this magazine is suffocating. However, since you are in the second round of review, it should be a sure thing that your paper will be accepted. But as you said, once the deadline has passed, the direct value that this paper can bring is almost lost. No hope for scholarships or job opportunities, sigh.

My third round of reviewing has been submitted. Invited reviewers: 2+, accepted reviewers: 2, completed reviews: 2. It has been a week and it is still under review. Do I have to wait for the opinions of the 3rd or 4th expert? This is already my third round. It has been almost 4 months since submission.

The first review of my paper was submitted around September 20th, and I received the first review comments around November 10th. However, it was sent back for revisions on November 26th, and it is still under review until now. I have never had a second review of my paper for such a long time. Currently, everyone has time constraints; students are looking for jobs, and teachers have projects to complete. Both require papers. It is unbelievable that this journal charges fees. I am truly speechless.

This magazine is terrible. The editors take an extremely long time to process the manuscripts, as if no one is managing it regularly. They only check the system periodically (seemingly every 1-2 weeks) to see everyone's submissions. After I submitted my paper, it took 20 days for the editor to send it for review. They invited 2+ reviewers, received 2 acceptances and 2 completions. According to normal procedure, a decision could have been made directly. However, it is still in the "Under Review" status, and it has been almost a month. I contacted Elsevier customer service during this period, but they only provided official replies, which I don't quite understand. The author guidelines state that at least two reviewers are required, but for the top journals we have submitted to, two reviewers were enough to make a decision. This particular journal is being overly selective, with so many reviewers involved, and yet the overall quality of the articles seems average. It's the first time I've encountered such a slow journal. If it weren't for the fact that I need to complete my thesis during this period, I would have withdrawn my submission and looked for another journal. If you invite 2+ reviewers and only two accept and complete the review, and it has been almost a month, it's not my problem, but the problem of your journal. If there were three, four, five, or six reviewers accepting the review, I would understand the delay. But with only two reviewers accepting and completing the review, and it's been almost a month, if I had submitted to another journal, it probably would have been accepted by now. It's really frustrating. Seeing that even the second review process is dragging on like this, I don't expect to rely on this article for job prospects after the new year. I will never submit to this journal again. It's just too terrible.

I have been online for a long time without searching...

I have already undergone major revisions twice, and currently it is still in the "under review" status for the third round. It has been over three months since submission.

Excuse me, has the second trial ended? How much time did it take?

The second review has been going on for more than two months, and there's still no result. One of the two reviewers in the first review has consistently refused to accept the manuscript, which is really speechless. Originally, both of them didn't have any significant objections, and I thought it would be accepted after making the revisions. Now, we unexpectedly have to find new reviewers, and we haven't even found them yet. Does this mean that the second review will be delayed for another four months?

The review email has a link where you can see the status. You can take a look to see what exactly the situation is. It has been several months for me, with 2+ submissions, and only one has been accepted. The accepted one has already been completed. It seems that another batch of reviewers were sent yesterday. There are still pending review acceptances.

Ah, is it generally this slow? My first trial started at the end of September, and it still hasn't finished. The reviewers are not reviewing, and I'm going crazy.

I have been waiting for two months for the second trial, but there is still no news.

Why is the second review so slow? I'm really fed up... I just want to graduate.

The first review was very slow, with four reviewers. I hope the review process can be faster.

Why did my time change twice with the editor?

窗外的晚风 2022-12-10

Too slow, it has been ten days. Still with the editor...

Excuse me, after accepting, when confirming various information, on the OA publishing selection interface, there is an "Add discount code." Does this mean that the first unit with discount qualifications can provide discounts?

Admiration, there has been no progress in the repair for nearly two months. On October 23rd, it was already shown that the repair was under review, and it is still under review up to now.

Xzh Wang 2022-12-02

The first review took two months, and after the revisions, it was accepted on the fourth day. The editing efficiency is remarkably high. Wishing EES will continue to improve and succeed! Grateful!

Is toxicology really that fast?

zhangtxjj 2022-11-28

This is the fastest magazine I have ever seen. It was submitted on October 1st, and the editorial comments were given on November 22nd. It was sent back for revisions on November 24th and accepted on November 27th, all within less than two months.

It has been 14 days since Review Complete. What is the situation? Requesting experienced individuals to inform.

Overall speed is average in the field of public health, but referring to the experiences of many predecessors, the general review cycle of EES should be much faster than my experience. After the journal is submitted for review, the peer review status will be updated within two weeks at most, and it is speculated that the journal's consideration of reviewers' review cycle is about two weeks.
The speed of revisions has clearly accelerated, so it seems that the initial review process has not contacted suitable reviewers, which has prolonged the overall review cycle of the manuscript.
However, compared to public health journals, EES is steadily increasing its publication volume, and the current OA fee is USD2700.

I want to ask how the current situation is going.

w222 2022-10-30

Me too, it seems a bit slow.

Did he submit it for external review according to his changes?
