I want to ask what the process is after submitting to this journal. A few days after "with editor" it changed to "under review," and shortly after that it changed to "awaiting recommendation." It has been a week now and it is still "awaiting recommendation." Does anyone know what is going on?

Why can't I find the entrance for voting? Does it have specific browser requirements? Seeking advice from everyone

Has it been "Under Review" in the middle? Was it rejected by the editor directly? Or was it rejected by the external reviewer?

Originally in the process of revising and resubmitting for the second time in Plant Cell Reports, my supervisor saw a call for papers from HR that happened to fit our research direction, so we submitted to HR. It was submitted on March 24th, after two months of review, major revisions were suggested on May 23rd, giving us two months to make revisions. We completed the revisions by the end of July. However, I was a bit slow on my end, and ended up making revisions and figures in the last two to three weeks. Surprisingly, after about half a month of review, it stayed "with editor" the whole time, and when I checked on August 22nd, it was already in the "Accepted" status. Overall, the whole process took 5 months, with one and a half months being delayed due to lack of time, but everything went very smoothly

The opinions of the two reviewers are contradictory, so another reviewer will be sought. Alternatively, if the opinions given by the two reviewers are perfunctory, another reviewer will be found. In short, the editor has a favorable impression of your manuscript, otherwise it would have been rejected.

Why did it change from "under review" to "awaiting recommendation" for a month, and then back to "under review" after a week?

I would like to ask about the general process. My status changed from "under review" to "Awaiting EIC Decision" without any other steps. Does this mean that my application will be rejected?

The speed of the manuscript review is at a normal level, and the results will be available within a month. The reviewer provided very professional opinions, and although it required major revisions, it improved the quality of the article. I am very grateful to the professional reviewer! Overall, the feeling is good.
If the article has sufficient data and some degree of innovation, it can be submitted.

After submission, there were major and minor revisions before acceptance. The submission was made in April, and it was accepted on October 2nd, in less than six months. It was an exhausting process, but finally, it was accepted. The editor was very nice, and the reviewers were also friendly. They not only provided comments and revisions on the structure of the article but also gave very detailed modifications. It was my first first-author SCI paper, and the experience was great.

Thanks, I plan to give it a try and see if it rejects me. I'll go and test the waters. After 2020, there have been very few posts about this publication, so I want to experience it myself.

Hello, bro. I logged in and commented using my WeChat account on the mini program before, so I couldn't reply directly to you. Now I have registered a new account with my email to reply to you. I think your concerns are possible because when I was rejected by the associate editor after resubmitting my paper for half a year, the editor suggested that I submit to Vegetable Research, the journal you mentioned, which is currently without an impact factor. I also faced graduation issues. Later on, I submitted to Frontiers in Plant Science and it was accepted just over a month later. I was lucky. In fact, the six-month rejection process by HR has already delayed my graduation. I was supposed to graduate this summer, but now it's pushed to the end of the year.

If you are also in a hurry to graduate, I suggest being cautious about submitting to this journal (although I admit that it is of a high standard). Currently, the journal is slow in operation due to the high volume of submissions. What I can't stand the most is that if your research level is mediocre, they won't reject it straightforwardly. Sometimes, they just keep dragging it on and hesitate. It's really frustrating! So when facing graduation, it's better to submit to a faster journal. HR is suitable for showcasing star research results in large research groups and they don't care much about the review cycle. The era of getting a review result in three to four months is gone and won't come back.

Bro, do you know anyone around you who has submitted to this journal? I want to ask if the review process is always this long after 2021. Do studies on transcription, metabolism, and proteomics get reviewed faster? I'm wondering if it's because your work is purely theoretical and they can't find enough reviewers. Recently, South Agricultural University has collaborated with Science on two new journals. I'm afraid that if I submit to HR, they will drag the review process for six months and then ask me to switch to the other two journals that don't have impact factors yet. That would be a huge loss for me.

Although it was rejected directly, the speed is really fast. Submitted on the 8th, there was a little format problem; it immediately notified the modification the next day. After resubmission on the 9th, a rejection email was received on the 18th.

Unfortunately, after I submitted my paper, the IF went from 4.5 to 3.3.The journal is preparing to expand the volume of articles, and the IF is estimated to be around 4.
