There are two rounds of review, with a total of 7 reviewers. Although the review process is quite long, the final result is good. The reviewers gave helpful feedback, and it was positive. But the editor has final say. I was given a year to make substantive revisions. This is a high-quality journal, so waiting a year for publication was not a concern. They are rigorous and serious.

It has been a month and a half since I submitted my application. At first, it was under review for about 20 days, and then it has been constantly switching between "Awaiting EIC Decision" and "Awaiting ME Decision." If they are going to reject it, they should just do it quickly. It's taking too long.

Should it be edited and audited? The status displayed by the previous reviewer during the review was: awaiting reviewer scoring

(0) Thank | MMMMMeng啊

Can I ask everyone if "Under review" is internal review by editors, and "Under Review" is sending for review? It has been "Under review" for about ten days and suddenly it says "awaiting Me decision," does it mean rejection?

The whole process from submission to acceptance took more than 5 months

Submitted on October 6, 2023;
Major Revision on November 27, 2023, with two reviewers;
Revised and resubmitted on December 23, 2023;
Accepted on March 12, 2024

(1) Thank | Aneira

Submission to first received feedback took 3 months, experiencing primarily Under review; Awaiting reviewer scoring; Awaiting reviewers scoring; Awaiting ED recommendation; Awaiting ME decision; Received dozens of feedback, very professional, editor requested major revisions; Second review took a week, minor revisions (not submitted for review), accepted after one week of revisions. As a traditional ecological journal, the overall volume of submissions by Chinese researchers is around 5%, with a high demand for innovative articles. The difficulty of submission is not reflected by the impact factor

(3) Thank | 土水土

The authoritative classic journal in the minds of biologists focuses more on innovation and statistical methods. The long-awaited journal is finally accepted! Hope the journal will continue to improve, and it would be even better if the impact factor could be higher

Submission on August 25, 2023.
Received reviewers' comments on December 5, 2023: Major revision, to be returned within one month (one reviewer suggests major revisions, the other suggests minor revisions, and the editor ultimately recommends major revisions).
Returned for revisions on December 31, 2023.
Accepted on January 8, 2024.
Published online on January 25, 2024.
Overall submission process went as expected (3-4 months from submission to receiving reviewers' comments, similar to what most articles on the official website display). Reviewers were thorough and focused on details, asking rigorous and professional questions. The journal's quality speaks for itself, being a classic in the field of biology and ecology

After a month and a half of being under review, yesterday it changed to the status of Awaiting Reviewer Scores. It's too slow.

I was under review for over a month before receiving feedback, so I think it is being sent for external review

(0) Thank | Stanford BurneJones

It has been almost a month, and it is still under review. Has it not been sent for external review yet?

(1) Thank | 摸摸流浪狗

After my resubmission was rejected, it went under review and within a week it changed to this status. How did your submission go?

(0) Thank | Stanford BurneJones

In the past three years, the contribution rate of mainland Chinese scholars' articles is 5.3%, which is still very significant in my view. 
Submission process: Submitted on May 28, reviewed within a week, received major revisions on June 26 with a one-month deadline. I requested a 10-day extension via email, submitted the revised manuscript on deadline day, August 5, and received acceptance of the revisions on August 10. 
Many thanks to the reviewers for their tremendous efforts

Awaiting reviewer scoring. This status has been ongoing for over 2 months. What is the situation?

(0) Thank | Sam Philip

A senior fellow from the same department submitted a paper, and the reviewing process was average. The paper was submitted in mid-March, and it wasn't until mid-July that the reviewer's comments came back. After making minor revisions within 20 days, it was accepted just 3 days later. Overall, the requirements for the quality of the article were quite high, emphasizing novelty and originality. The reviewer was also very meticulous, and the suggestions provided were very helpful in improving the quality of the article.

The editing is too superficial, not even able to distinguish between the whole genome and mitochondria
