Has the problem been resolved? I also clicked on it, is it not allowed to vote?

Why does my manuscript service show a 404 error when I try to access it directly?

The exact same experience, waited for 6 weeks only to be rejected directly, without any review comments

Submitted at the end of December, it has been a month and a half since the submission, pending editor assignment. Clicking on the submission, it is currently under peer review (key). Then I emailed to inquire about the status of the manuscript. The chief editor replied that he is preparing to leave, and someone else will take over the handling. Then later that afternoon, an email was sent saying it is under external review. At that time, I thought maybe there was a system error. However, after waiting another month, I received a rejection email with no comments. According to the system, the manuscript was actually rejected the same day it was technically edited and then took another two and a half months to send the email. This process is quite confusing, frustrating

It has been 2 and a half months since submission, what is the issue with "Ready to be assigned to an editor"?

A very good journal, I wonder if the impact factor can continue to increase.

I won an ARO in the 17th year, and submitted a manuscript in the 15th year. Surprisingly, it was marked as editor assignment pending within six months (what is going on?). After waiting for another year, I couldn't wait any longer and sent a reminder. They replied with a few minor questions, and after responding, it was accepted immediately. It took a year and a half in total, and if you don't send reminder emails, they will just leave you hanging without a response.

This journal is very slow, quite slow. It took more than 9 months from the first submission to receiving the opinions requiring a major revision. After the major revision was returned, it took another 3 months to receive the acceptance notice. Overall, it took more than a year... It took more than a month from the first submission to reviewers assigned, and more than 8 months for being under review. There were countless reminders sent by us in the middle, and the editor in charge did not reply to the emails. Later, with the mentality of withdrawing the manuscript if it didn’t work, I sent a lot of e-mails to the editor in chief, editor in charge, publishing editor and springer staff with a relatively strong attitude, finally contacted the editor in charge in India with the help of springer staff, and then received opinions requiring major revisions. After a month of major revision, it was returned, and it waited for nearly another three months to be accepted. The whole process is quite torturing. At present, I have waited for more than a month after the acceptance and have not got a proof... The quality of the journal is good, and the reviewers' opinions are also quite professional, but the time is too long, and it is very troublesome for the editor to not reply to the email. If you are anxious for graduation or conferring of academic titles, let's submit for other journals that are faster. If you can wait for more than a year, you can submit here. In addition, I sincerely suggest that everyone who has waited for a long time and has not received the email response from the editor in charge, don’t be afraid of the manuscript being rejected, and don’t be afraid to offend the editor. Urge it if necessary, complain to Springer if needed, and the worst is to find another journal to submit. Waiting blindly for a reply is unwise, I think.

Reply to the 11th floor: According to my review experience, the editor assignment pending appears after the review is over. The editor assignment pending is that experts review the manuscript again in the internal journal, based on the reviewer’s returned comments. My article also encountered this status after two rounds of revisions. After the status lasted more than a month, I sent an email to consult the editor and learned that this is an internal review by experts to help the editor make more secure decisions.

It took a long time for inviting the reviewers. You should be cautious to recommend the reviewers. Although the reviewers I recommended were those whose articles I had cited, most of them rejected to review (maybe because those I recommended were all domestics). As a result, it took more than 8 months for the first review. During the period, the time of under review was constantly refreshed, indicating that the editor was constantly looking for reviewers (really hard work). There were two major revisions in total (two reviewers each time), and nearly fifty questions were raised. The comments raised by the reviewers were very professional, and most of them hit the nail on the head. The editor was also cautious. It took more than one month for the final decision, maybe what I wrote is not good enough? But for the sake of innovation, it was accepted? (I guessed it.) It took more than 16 months in total. The dream finally came true.
