Excuse me, how long does the second review of this journal generally take? It has been 32 days since I returned the revisions according to comments and there is no news yet.

It was submitted to NC but got rejected, then transferred to Communications Biology and published after revision.

I once submitted to SA, Nucleic Acids Research, and NC, but it was rejected. My boss said that the editor suggested to submit to Communications Biology. I submitted it to Communications Biology after being rejected by NC, and it has been published after minor revision.

Look for it in the spam folder.

No need to rush the submission. The journal will contact you proactively to apologize, and then you will have to wait for a long time before hearing back.

On December 12th, the manuscript was submitted; on the 17th, an editor was assigned; on the 19th, the Initial Manuscript Review and Editor Review started. The status was changed to Under Review on the same day, and then the system went on Christmas break.

We filled out 2 forms in the email, and on the website, there are 2 forms under Manuscript Item and a "Zip of files for Reviewer" in the Reviewer Zip File section.

As of January 26th, the system status has not changed, and the External Editor column shows "Not Assigned." I am unsure if the manuscript has been sent for review. My advisor suggested pushing for a review, but I am concerned that it may cause issues. Does anyone have any experience with this situation?

Hello, has there been any further action on the editor assigned status? I have been stuck in this for almost 20 days now, what is going on?

Rushing for submissions is like this, it is particularly easy to be rejected.

It has been a week since the third round decision was made, and there has been no email notification. What is the situation? Does anyone have the same experience?

May I ask what's next? My editor assignment has been almost twenty days already, shouldn't it normally go straight to initial review started?

The editor responded quickly to determine if the submission should be sent for review. The quality of the peer review was very high, with very professional reviewers. Compared to the original manuscript, the revised article increased from 21 pages to 32 pages in the main text, and from 24 pages to 35 pages in the supplementary materials. There was a significant improvement in the quality of the article. The editor was also very responsible, quickly sending emails to remind authors of any missing checklists and summaries. Before submission, I thought the new journal did not have much quality, but after submitting, I realized what professionalism means after seeing the peer review comments. In addition, the final formatting review was very strict, requiring authors to check and revise a 20-page Word document. Being indexed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the first tier was well deserved.

The raw data needs to be uploaded to Zenodo or other platforms. The data for the main charts in the article also needs to be made public.

Congratulations, host, do you need all the original data? Can you please share more details?

It took more than 8 months to finally be accepted. The journal has very high requirements, and the review process is slow, especially the final version, as the journal reviews every detail, which takes about a month. But overall, it is not that the journal is inefficient, but rather very strict, resulting in a longer overall period.

This journal is really terrible. I sent a withdrawal email four or five days ago and still haven't received a reply. Instead, they sent another email urging submission. On top of that, I sent another withdrawal email, but still no response. They have no efficiency at all, causing delays.

Too slow.

NC decided to transfer the submission to CommBio and clicked on the transfer link to CB, but has not yet completed the subsequent normal submission steps. Now they want to withdraw the submission. How long will it take to receive a reply after sending an email to the editorial office?

(0) Thank | L1201

About 4 weeks.

Hello, I would like to ask how long is the approximate review period for this journal? Judging from everyone's comments, it seems quite slow. The official website states a minimum of 25 weeks, which is quite daunting.

(0) Thank | L1201

It feels like this journal is too difficult. The requirements are quite high.
