It was relatively tough during the 2020 Chinese New Year. The article was submitted before the Chinese New Year. The comments of the first review were returned during the pandemic period. It took one month from submission to the return of comments. It underwent two major revisions. The reviewers paid great attention to the statistical methods. The major revision could only be finished with difficulty in more than one month. It was now June 2020, and the requirements has finally changed into minor revisions. In general, the journal is professional, which is highly recognized in the industry. The editor was serious, and the requirements were high. All of the original data and statistical codes were required as supplementary materials. What’s more, there was a limit of 7,000 words in the article, which was too few, and it exceeded every time. I was keeping reducing and revising the language and content.

It seems to be slow. Awaiting assignment to Associate Editor has lasted for almost 10 days.

Was rejected twice but the editors encouraged me to re-submit. For the first time, they were rejected by the Associate Editor. The second time, my paper was rejected by one of the reviewers. The last time I finally added all the information and re-submitted to two reviewers. I waited for more than two months and finally received an acceptance. After 6 months, 4 review rounds, the manuscript received three positive responses. The editor is really responsible.

You should submit this for review, and wait for the editor to make a decision.

July 16th: Awaiting Decision
From submission to now, the paper has neither been sent for review nor rejected, dragging on for nearly 2 months. The impact factor of JAE has dropped significantly in recent years to just over 4 points for a reason. If this arrogant and perfunctory attitude is maintained, I believe that in the coming years, it will definitely be kicked out of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Zone 1.

May I ask what is the meaning of "With one or more referees" and "With editor for evaluation" for this magazine?

submitted in mid-May this year. After 2 months, the remitted re-submission will be re-submitted. After the re-submitment, it will be received directly for more than one month. I feel that the opinion of the first instance is quite positive, butStill refused to re-submit the manuscript, may be the journal's strategy, received a re-reported re-submitment, and the possibility of receiving is still very large

submitted in April 2016, rejected in August, but encouraged to resubmit the manuscript. After the journal was reviewed, the resubmission was equivalent to overhaul. It returned in November, the news was given at the end of January, and it was resubmitted.At this point, I feel very embarrassed. I have been around for a year, and I definitely want to continue, but I am afraid that I will be rejected. It is in vain for a year.In mid-April, I returned to the re-submitted manuscript and finally gave the news and received it on July 5.The article was received throughout the year and three months.Another month after the online.In short, the whole process is very testable, and I am very grateful to the editor for giving me the opportunity to make changes.Looking at the manuscript guide, it is not easy to receive an article. It may be that less than a quarter of the manuscript will be received, so although it took more than a year to publish the article, I still feel that my contribution has paid off.The data is to be uploaded and shared. In English, it is necessary to be in English. It is not too difficult to find English.
