I am still "Awaiting Reviewer Selection" after more than a month. Should I withdraw the submission?

(0) Thank | 桃花冷雪

I found statistical issues in previously published articles, so I wrote a letter pointing out the problem. The editorial department casually found a reviewer and gave a perfunctory response, refusing to acknowledge the problem directly. Their attitude was arrogant.

The experience was not good, after waiting for more than two months in the "Awaiting Reviewer Selection" status, urging for review was ineffective, and had to withdraw the submission

Friend, I submitted an article on April 25th, and the status now is Awaiting AE Recommendation. Have you encountered this before? What does it mean?

Can we not choose open access? How much is the publication fee?

Experience Sharing: After submitting the manuscript, it took one week to assign an editor, one week to find reviewers, two weeks for the review process to be completed, and another two weeks for a decision. Unfortunately, the outcome was still negative. One reviewer had no major issues, but the other had minor concerns. Upon further examination, it was discovered that the editor had reviewed the manuscript again, providing major and minor comments. It seems that the editor-in-chief is not very friendly

From below 1.5 points, it is now close to 2 points, which is a good sign. This magazine is worth owning

This magazine is really biased against Chinese people! I submitted it on May 19th, and two months later, the review panel still hasn't been selected. I reminded them twice in the middle to rush the review, but they said to wait! After waiting for four months and still not selecting the review panel, let alone sending it for external review! Finally, I withdrew the submission and submitted to another journal, which was accepted smoothly

The boss is also a well-known professor in Japan and is the associated editor of Surgery Today. He reluctantly asked me to submit a great piece to this magazine, but it ended up being rejected. The boss said to me, "I'm very sorry, but there's nothing we can do." After that, I submitted to another magazine, and it was accepted within less than a month. I suggest everyone not to submit to this magazine, as it's not worth the trouble

A case report was submitted on 03-Jun-2012 and rejected on 17-Jan-2013, with a lengthy review process and multiple reminders during the wait. The review speed was slow and the Japanese editor seemed unfriendly. Not recommended for submission

Sharing experience: It may be due to connections with Chinese people. R3 randomly found a few issues that neither R1 nor R2 had and rejected the submission, delaying me for over a year. Graduation???

It's a tragedy. I received a rejection letter one week after submitting my submission, and I'm devastated

(0) Thank | 凌霄高洁

What a pity! However, the review process was quite fast, receiving the rejection letter about twenty-five days after submission

It has been almost three months since I submitted my paper, but I still haven't found a reviewer. This is too slow

(0) Thank | 凌霄高洁

Reviewing is quick and relatively easy, but the publishing cycle is too long!! It's been a year and I still haven't received the proof of my article!
