The article was submitted on December 12th, 2019. The editor said the language was not good. 2019.12.12 revised submission, 2019.12.28 with editor, 2020.1.24 under review. After that, it changed five times in the middle. 2020.4.28 comments finally came back. There were two reviewers, both of whom recommended acceptance after revision. The editor required a major revision, and I returned the revised manuscript (R1) fifteen days later. 2020.6.25 comments came back. The first reviewer said that there was a problem with unclear explanation, the editor gave a minor revision, and I submitted the revised manuscript (R2) on June 29th, under review on the same day, 2020.7.13 under review (it was estimated that the editor urged the reviewer), 2020.7.17 decision in process, 2020.7.18 accept. It was slow in the early stage, and faster after the revision. Generally speaking, the quality of the article is improved, but the cycle is somewhat long.

It lasted more than 6 months, and the time for with editor is longer than that of under review. You can try it if you are not in a hurry.

2019/09/09: submitted to journal; 2019/09/11: with editor; 2019/11/05: major revision; 2019/12/04: revision 1 submitted to journal; 2019/12/09: with editor; 2020/02/10: major revision; 2020/02/24: revision 2 submitted to journal; 2020/02/24: with editor; 2020/03/03: accept. There were 3 reviewers in the first review, all of them required revisions. One of the reviewers read carefully, and raised a lot of questions. He was relatively professional and strict. The article was submitted after a month of revision. There were two reviewers in the second review, each with one revision comment. It was mainly focused on the contents which were not revised correctly in the first review, and further revision was required. It was submitted after half a month of revision. It was accepted directly after then second review. I fell that after two revisions, the level of the article has been upgraded to a new level, and it is rewarding. However, the review cycle was relatively long, anyone who is not in a hurry can submit to it.

Submission for review takes more than a month, and it took another month for the first review results to come back. It's too slow. The fast ones are ridiculously fast...

Following up, early in the morning on June 19, 2025, I received a reply to the editor's reminder to submit my manuscript, apologizing for the previous assignment error of the field editor and stating that it had been reassigned. An hour later, I received a rejection email stating that the article was too long. The journal requires articles to be between 4000-6000 words, while mine was over 10,000 words. The suggestion was to revise and resubmit. I downloaded the latest articles from this journal and found many that were over 10,000 words as well. What kind of rejection reason is this? It's a garbage journal, and I won't consider it in the future.

I submitted my manuscript in early May, and it has been with the editor for a month and a half. I'm not sure if this is normal.

Okay, thank you. The sixth reviewer has received the manuscript for two weeks already, hoping for a prompt response.

It's very likely that I will receive the fifth installment of my payment from the 22nd of last month, as the editor has been waiting for the fifth person.

(0) Thank | Accept_Accept

Currently, 6 reviewers have accepted the review, 5 have completed it, does the editor have to wait for the sixth person?

It seems like there is an increase of 1 submission for review every week since mid-April. What should I do if I only receive one feedback continuously? Has anyone experienced this situation before? I am so anxious.
