The editor and the reviewers were serious. However, the review speed was too slow. It was submitted in August, and the result was not given until December. It was reviewed for two months after revision, and it was published in March of the following year.

The editor was very efficient, but it was indeed difficult to find reviewers. Since November 12th, we have been missing one review. We have reminded the editor three times and asked if we could find another reviewer, but the editor quickly brushed off the suggestion.

It's too slow, I submitted it in September last year, and it's still under peer review. They don't reply to emails either. I seriously suspect they may have closed down.

This is simply a trashy journal. Emails have never been replied to. I hope it will be downgraded to the fourth tier next year and removed from SCI as soon as possible.

I know this, I have encountered it before. When you are trying to revise a submission, the magazine prompts that the email address has not been registered. First, register with the same email address, name, and password as the first submission, then log in to see if you can find the submission record. If you cannot find it, send an email to the editor explaining the situation. He will allow you to resubmit the revised version. Then, the backend will merge the revised submission with the original one.

May I ask why after the editor sent the email requesting major revisions, when I uploaded the revised manuscript within the revision period, I was informed that the submission information could not be found, as if the email had never been registered?

6-22 were rejected, the reviewers' comments were fair and reasonable.

Submitted a case study, received a total of twenty to thirty comments from the editor and three reviewers. After major revisions, the paper was accepted. The process felt relatively fast, possibly because the case study I wrote was relatively simple for the reviewers. The editor's comments were very insightful and truly improved the quality of my article. Grateful to the editor!

The invitation to the editor started on 23-12-22, but it was not until April 12, 24 that they were finally brought on board. Now the reviewers are in the process, and it has been over a month since we last heard any updates. The entire process has been almost 6 months now, and we are getting frustrated

Sharing experience: Delayed for a year with no response. Just received review comments recently, but didn't receive any related emails in my inbox, and can't find it in the submission system... TMD, this is really garbage

Have you found it, brother? They dragged me for almost a year, gave me feedback on the manuscript, I didn't receive it in the email, and I can't find it in the system. I have nowhere to send a reminder

Does it take more than a year to get results, and still inexplicably rejected?

(0) Thank | Angela Toby

I don't know if it's because of the approaching update of the IF, there are clearly more rejections recently, but I feel something is wrong lately. This is an article I reviewed before, about three or four months ago, I can't remember specifics, anyway a long time ago, to be honest, the article is average, but after all, the quality of the article needs to be combined with the journal's IF, otherwise it's playing a trick; the data is not very innovative, but it has its own verification, in my opinion it still matches this IF, so I made some revisions. Today I saw the final decision, in fact, all three reviewers suggested revisions, and the most common criticism was lack of innovation. But in the case of all reviewers agreeing that it can be accepted after modifications... the editor rejected it... Why did I bother to submit it for review. Therefore... be cautious

Be careful when submitting your work to this journal, it is a huge pit. Submitted on August 26, 2023, received technical check on September 19, revised on September 20, passed technical check on September 21, then under peer review, remained in this status until March 4 when the revision comments were given. During this period, I sent 4 reminder emails, the first reminder on December 5 received a reply on the 7th saying they couldn't find reviewers or editors for my submission, but with a good attitude, so I waited for some time. On the 20th still no news, so I wrote to withdraw the submission, got a reply on the 21st saying to give them another week. Sent another reminder on January 9, they replied still waiting for the final report. The 4th reminder on February 14, still waiting for the final report. Finally received revision comments for minor changes on March 4, resubmitted on March 19, under peer review again on the 21st, then rejected on April 29!!! The reviewers didn't have major issues but it was rejected by the editor!! Really infuriating

(1) Thank | 墨鱼头

Submitted on 29th September 2023, entered peer review on 17th September 2023, received comments from 5 reviewers at the end of February 2024, revised on 9th March 2024, received a private message from one of the reviewers on 15th March 2024 asking for money (claiming to charge for polishing, but the manuscript was actually polished by an editing agency found to be the director of a hospital in Henan, contacted the journal on the same day), received rejection notice on 15th April 2024 (the director mentioned language issues, and despite already having 5 reviewers, invited a 6th reviewer and raised several small issues, editor rejected based on overall feedback). Appeal unsuccessful.. To be honest, rejection doesn't matter to me, as I am not a first author, but pointing out when there is clear evidence of reviewers violating academic ethics.. It's impressive that the editor can turn a blind eye and continue to let them review; inviting a new reviewer after addressing all issues raised by the 5 reviewers is quite a move

I wish I had seen the message from the OP earlier. It has been almost 3 months for me too and there has been no progress. My manuscript is still in Peer review status and I have no idea what's going on. Have you heard any news about your submission?
