I also want to know how to contact the editor. Which editor should I contact?

草堂春睡迟 2022-11-04

Excuse me, big brother, if there is no reply after "under review", who should I contact?

Finally, oh finally, the editor is too slow. If the manuscript stays with the editor for more than a week, I suggest sending an email directly to inquire. At that time, I thought there was enough time to wait, and at most two rounds of revisions should have been accepted. I didn't expect that after returning in July, she sent it back to the reviewer for a third round, and the timeline suddenly extended to a point where I couldn't wait any longer.

2021.10.26 Submission, format revision requested 2 days later, resubmitted on the same day.
2022.1.29 Major revision, a review period of exactly 3 months, spanning across the new year, mainly delayed by the editor and not sent for review.
2022.4.15 Minor revision, further delay by the editor.
2022.6.26 Major revision again, the reviewer's attitude shows improvement.
2022.7.17 Minor revision, the editor again did not send it for review in a timely manner.
2022.8.16 Sent a reminder email to the editor-in-chief, who forwarded it to the responsible editor. The responsible editor replied a week later, saying that she forgot to handle it because she was leading a major project.
2022.9.16 Sent another reminder email to the responsible editor, who said that one reviewer did not return any revision comments.
2022.9.23 Still no feedback received, the responsible editor said she has reminded the reviewer.
2022.10.3 Minor revision.
2022.10.4 Minor revision again, but another long wait.
2022.10.11 Couldn't bear it anymore, applied for the qualification to defend the article while sending a third reminder to the responsible editor. This time she didn't even reply to the email. Fortunately, the status of the article finally changed to "decision in process."
2022.10.12 Accept.

6.21 Submission
8.5 Major revision, four reviewers, 60 comments (made me cry)
Conducted experiments for two additional months
10.1 Submission
10.3 Returned for formatting revisions, submitted the same evening
10.4 With editor
10.6 Decision in process
10.7 Accepted
AMB has strict formatting requirements, even minor formatting errors will be sent back for revision. The process was quite fast. In contrast, another paper has been in minor revision for over a year, while this paper was accepted first. I initially expected another round of revisions after the major revision, but it was a pleasant surprise to be accepted directly.

I don't know what's going on with this magazine now. It went through several formatting revisions before submission. I made all the changes according to the requirements, and it finally went under review. However, it took 2 months for them to give feedback, and it was rejected! It's fine to reject it, as long as the suggestions made are constructive, we will humbly accept them. But when I looked at the feedback, I was speechless. One of the reviewers raised irrelevant questions. I was working on enzyme immobilization to catalyze a compound, which belongs to biocatalysis. However, he claimed that I didn't explain the antimicrobial mechanism in detail and even asked about the solubility of nano flowers in microbial culture. I'm truly speechless. How does that even relate? Another reviewer said that the unit of my enzyme catalytic reaction kinetics constant was incorrect. I specifically checked against the units published in other journals, and my units were correct! I'm really speechless. I don't know where they found these so-called experts who wasted almost 3 months of my time. I suggest everyone be cautious when submitting manuscripts!

Invited to write a review, I think the magazine is great. Why is the impact factor so low though...

Hello, may I ask how to determine which editor is handling the submission after it is submitted? Mine has been under review all along, and I want to urge for progress, but I can't contact the editor. I'm extremely anxious.
