We are engaged in the development of traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of COVID-19 in English-speaking countries. It was surprise that this domestic journal rejected it. It is really speechless!

23 Aug 2019 Submission, 23 Sep 2019 Major Revision, 2 Oct 2019 Revised paper Re-submitted, 09 Oct 2019 Accept. Publication fee paid and now wait for proof. An OA journal, charges 2145 US dollars, which is really expensive. IF in 2018 is 2.265. A good journal in the CAM field. You have no choice. Journals in CAM are almost all OA. I remember eCAM charges $2300. This is a bit cheaper. It is really difficult to publish in the field of Chinese medicine.

I would like to ask my friends, I submitted my paper through the EM system on April 19th, but later I saw that the journal switched to Springer's system. In the new system, I cannot see my submission, but in Research Square it says "Under Consideration." Do I need to resubmit in the new system? How long does it typically take for a paper to move from "Under Consideration" status?

I would like to ask everyone about the recent submission speed. It has been over a month since I submitted, and it took two weeks for an editor to be assigned after submission. It has been over three weeks since the editor was assigned, but there has been no change. What's going on? Is it because there has been a sudden increase in submissions for the second tier this year?

Could you please tell me how the format of the manuscript images is set up? I couldn't find any submission guidelines on the official website.

The revised second review was rejected, it's a trash magazine, don't submit.

12-11 reviews have been completed, but we have not yet received the results of the second review. It feels like it might be a disappointing outcome.

The revision on 8/29, the update on 9/2 has not been updated yet. I don't know how the draft is going, if the reviewer has seen it, I feel the chances of acceptance are not high.

It is related to the workload of the reviewers. Once an editor accepts the manuscript, the status changes. Pay more attention to status changes.
