Although it was accepted after a lot of hard work, it is hard to tell good articles from bad, there are good articles and a lot of valueless articles as well. There is still a big gap between this journal and Clinical Cancer Research.

After nine months, the first article was accepted by CCC. I feel that CCC's processing speed is not bad, not as long as at least a year I heard. Except for it was quite long for the two months with editor, it was quite fast. The editor sent it to the reviewers the next day after major revision and minor revision submitted. It is a very good journal. I hope CCC will do better in the future.

Recently, the review speed has become significantly faster. Good articles are suggested to try. This is a journal higher having a higher level of recognition than CBM.

This is probably my first and last submission to CCC. I submitted back in August, and the status of my article is still with the editor in November. Although I’ve emailed the editor twice, his response is that it’s the journal’s policy to only use experts in the field, and that everyone is currently unavailable. Slow – reconsider submitting to this journal.

My WE has been three months, urging for manuscripts is useless.

Watch out for the editor-in-chief!!! What's going on with this editor-in-chief??? It's been almost 5 months since submission on November 30, 2024, and it's still under the first review. Only one reviewer has accepted the manuscript, I've sent two emails to the editor but got no response, and there have been no new reviewers invited. I'm on the verge of a breakdown... I want to ask everyone, which editors are handling papers that are accepted in four or five months?

(0) Thank | Houde Zhang

May I ask which editor handled your article? My article was handled by the chief editor. It has been more than four months since the first review, and it has been three months since any new reviewers accepted the review. I have also written two letters to the editor without receiving a response or any kind of feedback. I am really frustrated!!!

Hello, has your manuscript been reviewed by the editor after two months? Mine has also been two months, and the status has not changed. My previous submission to CCC was very quick, from submission to acceptance in a total of three months. I don't know why this one is so slow, and the editor is not responding to emails.

Which editor will be displayed by "with editor"? Why didn't I see it?

Isn't a major overhaul usually given one month?

The top journal Pure Pure has two reviewers. One provides targeted and constructive feedback with few comments, while the other, with a more experienced background, gives many comments. Some are rigorous and sharp, showing a professional background, while others are formulaic and superficial, disrupting the original logic of the text. A few seem to be included just to fulfill a quota, possibly due to lack of careful reading or unclear original expressions. Overall, the review process is strict, with significant changes to the original text resulting in noticeable improvements. The only downside is one reviewer's suggestion to cite four articles, which, although from different authors, still appears somewhat traceable and detracts from the overall quality.

You need to look at the editor's time, around 7 days.

May I ask how long ago you received the message?

I cannot understand the mindset of this editor. I have been researching innovative methods and creating new things, using characterization techniques that we have recently developed. And yet, they tell me that it lacks sufficient novelty. Do I really have to ride the wave of fiber optics or machine learning to be successful?

Can any expert interpret how long it takes for CCC's "Require Reviews Complete"? Four review comments have come back, three of them, but one reviewer has been silent for over a month, probably slipped away.

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask if four of the opinions have received 3 opinions, and the other person is likely to have left. RRC has been over three weeks, should we send it out?

(0) Thank | Manhattan

The quality of this journal has been declining since the editor was changed a few years ago. It has become a tool for a group of influential people to manipulate. The journal now prioritizes papers with a large quantity of work, but may overlook those with truly innovative ideas and strategies.

May I ask if anyone knows how long it usually takes for editors at CCC to provide feedback on manuscript submissions?

(0) Thank | 西破儿

The first submission was made, skipping the "submitted to journal" status and going directly to "with editor." Three days later, the status changed to "with editor." Has the chief editor passed this on to other editors?

May I ask how to find out who the editor of an article is? Can it be seen during the "with editor" stage?
