An iconic journal in the computer field. The journal editor is scrupulous about the content and language of the manuscript. Review times are extremely relaxed to ensure the quality of the review. After the latest editor and editor-in-chief, the speed of manuscript review has been accelerated, and the number of manuscripts published has increased slightly, but the quality of the journal has not decreased.

After 4 months I received a rejection with no comments. This was totally not professional and just waste of time.

WC, buddy, I'm really flustered by what you said. It's too exaggerated to be rejected for 15 months just because I couldn't find a reviewer. Is this journal so unreasonable? I regret it now. I feel like there's no point in waiting for this paper.

WC, buddy, what you said really freaked me out. It's too exaggerated to be rejected for 15 months just because of not finding reviewers. I feel like there's no need to wait for this paper anymore.

Submitted for 15 months, rejected due to inability to find all reviewers.

It has been a few days since submission, but it has been under review for 5 months without any progress. Instead of reviewing it for almost half a year, just reject it directly. I hope to receive a major revision.

Is this a top journal? I am not very familiar with this publication, how come the impact factor is so high? Is it very difficult to get published in it?

Can I view the response letter before submitting the major revision in the PDF, is the response letter included in the PDF document?

Very unprofessional, after 4 and half months waiting, we only got a brief message saying that , they cannot proceed with our paper due to high volume of submission and our paper contribution was not good enough. I really wonder what take them this time to reply such response. Only waste of time. Definitely, I don’t recommend this journal.

Accepting major revisions directly, the whole process takes one year, with the first review taking nine months

Hello, may I ask if CSUR is a direct acceptance after a major revision? We submitted around the same time, but I have been waiting for over half a month and still stuck at "awaiting decision approval"

In January 2024, major gave three months for revisions, which looked quite feasible

Top journal, but the review time is extraordinarily slow. The reviewing process for one of my papers took more than a year.
After receiving some major revisions, the revised paper got rejected with very little explanation from one of the reviewers.

Submitted 3 days ago and it shows "Under Review." Does that mean an editor has been assigned? Will it show "With Editor" eventually? If it goes for external review, what will it show?

After submission, it displays "under review." Does this status mean that a reviewer has been assigned? What will be shown when a reviewer is assigned?

(0) Thank | kkk11a

It's been about a week or so, I can't quite remember

May I ask how long the "awaiting decision approval" status of your first round of feedback has been?

I think this journal is relatively fast now. The initial review took four months, and the major revision and minor revision took some time.
