It’s a disgusting journal which gave some comments casually and rejected the articles from outsiders. The valueless articles of the editor’s students can be basically accepted, which can be published in less than one month. The previous editor did not do like this; it seems that this journal is about to degenerate.

It was not as easy as what posted below. TRE is still very difficult, second only to the two journals, EJOR and COR. The manuscripts of many people around me, including the professor, were criticized as good-for-nothing by the reviewers. Even if it was accepted, it had been strictly revised for several times.

It was submitted on October 2d9, 2018. In the first round, major revision was required on December 1. I submitted the revised manuscript on December 31. In the second round, major revision was required on February 29, 2019. I submitted the revised manuscript on February 22, and it was accepted on March 30. The review efficiency of Theory and Research in Education is high. The reviewers were given one month in each round. It can be published in 3 months if it is accepted after a revision.

I submitted once and got the rejection letter the next day. The letter is as follows: Thank you for choosing Transportation Research as a channel for publishing your manuscript. After reading the paper, I agree that the topic of the paper is interesting and impressive. However, I still have two main questions. First, the paper, including its subject matter and content, may not be suitable for the journal’s aim and scope. The evidence I have supporting this is that, no relevant TRE references have been cited for discussion to show that this paper will be of interest to most TRE readers. Second, the research content of the paper may not meet the publication standards. TRE prefers a paper that can clearly demonstrate its incremental contribution to the field of transportation and logistics. Relevant literature should be cited to clarify the following: (1) the importance of solving this problem and the method for solving the problem, (2) the novelty and unique characteristics of the proposed method relative to published methods or models, and (3) important findings and management insights from analyzing the results. Unfortunately, I didn’t find sufficient rationales and discussion to clarify the issue. Specifically, this paper seems to be application-oriented, while the methodological innovation over published models appears to be weak.

The review process was fast, with reviewers providing feedback mainly on writing issues rather than directly attacking the mathematical models. My field is Operations Management and Supply Chain Management (OM&SCM).

Hello, may I ask how long the external audit will last? After RRC, is it "decision in process"? How long will it take to get the results?

Hello, OP. May I ask how long it usually takes for external review after submitting an article for review? Is it "Decision in process" after RRC? Thank you.

Hey buddy, what's the outcome? I've been with the editor for 10 days, and now it's "Decision in Process". Does this mean it's going to be desk rejected?

Recently I submitted an article, and personally I feel that the Part series is actually more focused on solving problems in the transportation field, which is more important. If the method is done well, submit it directly to OR; if the AI algorithm is done well, submit it directly to the top journals. Of course, the acceptance rate of EJOR is lower, so it should be more difficult.

I wanted to ask, just a few days after submission, if the status changes from "with editor" to "Decision in Process", does that mean it's a desk reject?

Just a few days after submitting, the status changed to "Decision in Process" with the editor. Does this mean a desk rejection?

Why do I feel that this journal, as well as other part series, have very strict requirements for Chinese people? Basically, I get desk rejected as soon as I submit
