Me too, why is it so slow?

kiko520 2023-03-04

Add one, is it because there are not enough editors?

努力的小黑 2023-03-04

Is there anyone else with the same frustration as me? This journal is really invincible. Is it because there are too many submissions? It has been two months and it is still "Editor invited". It's so frustrating. Editor invited on 19 Jan, 2023. Submission checks complete on 19 Jan, 2023. First submitted to Scientific Reports on 17 Jan, 2023.

Mr.Dan 2023-03-04

I am exactly the same as you. I submitted on December 12th, 22, and received a submission confirmation. On December 15th, I went through the initial technical check, and it has been almost three months now, but it is still in the peer review process. The corresponding author is still a leader from another institution, and I am hesitant to ask for an update on the email. Is my situation normal? What will be the next status? Will the website show that the review process is completed? Or will the editor send it to the corresponding author?

kiko520 2023-03-02

Me too, it's been over twenty days and I'm still waiting for the editing invitation. It's driving me crazy.

Which is the final payment unit, dear? We need to have the same name as the magazine company.

jerrrr 2023-03-02

Too fake, there are also Chinese agents? Isn't that Beijing Zhongke organization a scam?

Zzzzp 2023-02-28

I would like to ask everyone about the issue of layout fees. 1. Can we only pay with Visa card? Second, what should I do if I only entered half of the organization's name?

Zzzzp 2023-02-28

I also encountered the same problem.

请勿匆匆 2023-02-28

Guys, is Beijing Zhongke reliable? I have already made the payment. The money was advanced by my mentor, so if I get scammed, I will be devastated.

请勿匆匆 2023-02-28

Is my email exactly the same as yours? Is it real or fake? I have already made the payment, if it's fake, I will be devastated and my advisor will kill me.

羊毛哥 2023-02-28

This is a scammer, never send money.

Cassie 2023-02-27

I want to consult about this. I also received it. Is this reliable?

mingle1981 2023-02-27

codeWang 2023-02-25

After a technical inspection on December 28th, it has been two months now and I am still an invited editor. I saw comments saying that some have been invited for three months. I don't know if I should continue waiting, I am really getting impatient.

王峰 2023-02-24

Dear, how long has it been since your Editors invited? It has been nearly a month for me...

请勿匆匆 2023-02-22

Just finished paying the layout fee, let me answer the questions that everyone is concerned about. The review speed is a bit slow. I submitted my paper in the second semester of my second year of graduate school, and it was just accepted in the second semester of my third year of graduate school, which is close to graduation. Actually, the main delay was in inviting reviewers. Once the reviewers were found, the processing progress of the article was very fast. The suggestions from the review experts are very detailed and professional. The layout fee is a bit expensive, 19,071 Chinese yuan, which needs to be remitted to Beijing Zhongke.

WBZNJXJ 2023-02-22

I submitted it in November, and there has been only one reviewer assigned to it. I don't know when I will receive the results.

WBZNJXJ 2023-02-20

It has been showing "Reviewer Assigned" for over three months now.

sansanlll 2023-02-19

I would like to ask how long it usually takes to receive feedback on the first round of review. It has been over two months and I still haven't heard anything regarding the review process.

yq2022 2023-02-16

It's pretty fast. Submitted at the end of October, received revisions at the end of January, and accepted on February 16th. It's not easy to find reviewers who are helpful, as some articles in the field of autonomous driving are more niche. In order to catch up and publish another paper this year, I chose this journal, and it is indeed quite fast. I hope to smoothly pursue my Ph.D. this year!

Elife125 2023-02-16

Hello! I would like to ask how long does the initial technical inspection take?

woshiwc 2023-02-15

The feeling is that the external audit experts are quite meticulous, not as lenient as rumored. However, when it comes to returning the external audit opinions to the editor, it takes a long time for the editor to send them to you.

下辈子远离科研 2023-02-13

I would like to inquire about the publication fee for Scientific Reports. Someone claiming to be from Beijing Zhongke Import and Export Co., Ltd. emailed me asking me to transfer money to a certain account. I was wondering if this is the correct procedure for everyone?

求毕业的小蚂蚁 2023-02-10

I also submitted in December, and there was only one reviewer.

饭团 2023-02-09

Bumpy road, but I still got hired. Actually, it's not as easy as people say it is. The manuscript review process is quite strict.

sansanlll 2023-02-07

I want to ask where can I see the specific number of invited reviewers? On my page, there has always been only one peer review on the right side, and now I don't know the progress.

sansanlll 2023-02-07

I started investing in early December, and I have been undergoing peer review ever since. I am feeling a bit anxious now!

sansanlll 2023-02-07

Hey guys, I want to ask how can I see how many reviewers have been invited on the page? It has been two months and the right side of the page still shows peer review.
