It depends on the amount of articles in the editorial department, the number of reviewers, and the quality of the articles. If everything goes smoothly, it could be done in two to three weeks.

How long is the initial review process? I don't want to spend 2-3 months on it only to be rejected in the end.

Review speed: 2.0 | Submission hit rate: 50.0 Experience sharing: I submitted a retrospective study, and I thought it was well done, but it was rejected by the editor a month later. This journal currently publishes more review and consensus articles, aiming to boost its impact factor. They are starting to appreciate prospective studies in the discussion section. Hopefully, in five years, it will be listed in the first quartile!

After submitting the manuscript, it usually takes around 20 days to receive feedback for a major revision. After revising, the revised manuscript will be accepted by the end of May, following payment of the publication fees. However, it may take a long time for the article to appear online on PubMed

How can I include the review comments from Gut in the cover letter? What is the format?

Excuse me, the editor-in-chief sent an email saying that there will be major revisions, but the submission system does not show any comments. Is this situation normal?

(0) Thank | York Crane

May I ask if it is normal for the submission system not to display the decision after receiving a major revision feedback from the editor-in-chief via email?

How is the situation now? How long is the cycle?

(0) Thank | 月河雨珍

It has been two weeks since submission, and it is still in review without any information on reviewers. What's going on? Is it a good sign? Please don't take months and then reject it

So, is there an answer? Where is the review article?

(0) Thank | 书生醉丝

I got an article accepted from gut and transferred it directly. The editor put my gut review comments in the cover letter and it was accepted in less than a month. It's quite fast among the 7+ journals I have submitted to. I feel the editor is very interested in reviewing papers from authoritative journals and hope to continue to increase my score next year

After the second review, my classmate's submission to the Journal of Hepatology was rejected, which made them feel a bit discouraged. Later, they resubmitted it to HBSN and it was accepted smoothly. If the quality of the article is good, I suggest considering it, after all, there is now an emphasis on publishing papers on the homeland...
