Submitted on July 25, and it has still been Under Review until November 20. The State Date for the latest State shows November 19. Does it mean that the editor is looking for reviewers again? I sent an e-mail to ask, and there was no reply. I feel like it is far away.

The following is the whole process from submission to acceptance for your reference. From submission to acceptance, it took more than 5 months, and it took some time for my own reasons. February 10, 2020, submitted; March 27, 2020, sent for external review (due to the epidemic, it took a long time to find reviewers); 2020 June 19, minor revision; July 19, 2020, revised submission; July 23, 2020, acceptance; August 17, 2020, published online.

It’s too slow... “Submitted to journal” lasted 20 days, “With Editor” lasted one month... It is “Under review” and I’m suffering a breakdown. I’m very curious how Mu Yu on the 10th floor can publish a manuscript in 3 months, and I expected that his/her experience could be shared.

My experience lasted from mid-June through early November. Could have been better but wasn’t awful.

May I ask what happened in the end? I haven't heard back from the editor in chief for over 20 days.

Should we withdraw the manuscript after 21 days in review?

May I ask if the last digit is odd or even?

How long have you all been investing for?

Could you please tell me if the last digit of your number is an odd number or an even number?

(0) Thank | 星 空

How long have you been waiting for your application to be processed? It's been half a month since my initial review and there hasn't been any changes yet.

When encountering an Indian editor, one can only diligently urge the submission of manuscripts.

(0) Thank | 惊回首的小艾

Only the chief editor and the responsible editor in Hong Kong are working at full efficiency, while the external reviewers are dragging their feet.

The manuscript has been with the editor for 3 months, under review for 2 months, and the decision is still in process for another 3 months. Despite reminders, there has been no progress. It's unclear what these Indian editors are doing every day. It is suggested that when submitting to this journal, if the manuscript ends with an odd number, it should be withdrawn and resubmitted until the number is even.

Your paper was rejected due to the exclusion of weekends, even-numbered manuscript ID, and the recommendation to submit to a coal mining engineering journal with the chief editor in Hong Kong. Thank you for the opportunity to review your work. Best of luck finding a suitable journal for your paper. 
Sincerely, 
Louis N.Y. Wong, Ph.D. 
Editor-in-Chief 
Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment

It has been a year, and finally it has been repaired. I have reminded them 5 times, and on the fifth reminder, they finally returned it for repair the next day. I hope to be successfully hired soon.

This journal is being played to death by a few editors, they neither process the submissions nor reply to emails. It takes them months to even touch the manuscripts, it's unbelievable!

Which email should I send the withdrawal email to?

(0) Thank | 牧女

Normally, I send for external review for eight months, make revisions for three months, and wait for the results for nine months.

It's been eight months.

(0) Thank | 废物zhendr

I'll challenge myself. It has been six months since the external audit, and it has been eight months since the submission. It's still under review.

(0) Thank | 废物zhendr

The first decision letter returning the review comments bears the signature of the Indian editor. Additionally, someone in the comments section mentioned that submissions are assigned to the Indian editor and Hong Kong editor based on the odd-even numbers of the submission ID. I am an odd-numbered submission.

Excuse me, how do we know who the chief editor is?

The return and rework was on October 16, 2024, and the DIP was on November 23, 2024. It's been almost 5 months. I emailed the editorial department, but it was no use. I met the Indian editor and was speechless.
