Animal is a journal published by the Cambridge University Publishing Group, and it is part of a series of publications by the European Union of Animal Sciences and the British Society of Animal Science. In the field of veterinary medicine, this journal ranks 13th among 49 journals. I recently received a review from this journal, and the editor made a lot of pertinent comments. Unfortunately, the review period of the journal is usually two months or longer.

Avoid this journal, it's a waste of time. They said they will reject my paper because I did not provide quantitative melting curves.

It's been half a month since the submission and the manuscript number hasn't even been assigned yet. It's so slow it's almost dead.

What does it mean when a submission to a Journal has been in "Submitted to Journal" status for two weeks? Has anyone else experienced the same situation?

Overall, the editing was very rigorous, but there were also many requirements. I was even asked to include the entire experimental procedure in the supplementary materials. Hopefully, the journal's impact factor will rise even higher.

May I ask if the font for the submitted manuscript must be Arial as provided in the journal template, including mathematical formulas?

Does anyone know if, during the revision stage, authors need to send the modified application form to the editor via email for approval before submitting the changes in the system? Or can they just send the email and submit the changes in the system directly?
