Hello, any updates on the article? How long until it is reviewed? I submitted it 17 days ago, is it still in the queue?

It's really spicy. The journal has been reviewed repeatedly, revised repeatedly, and revised four or five times. It has been going on for 11 months. This time, just a minor revision to fix some formatting issues, and it has to go back for another round of review. It's open access, but still so expensive and so spicy.

It has been six months in total, and progress has been slow. There have been many journal-related matters, and although the responses to reminders for submission have been timely and official, there has been no progress. If you are in a hurry, it is advisable to be cautious before submitting.

Journal submission, editors too.

I'm speechless. It's been almost a year, and there's still no sign of progress. I don't understand what the editor-in-chief and deputy editor are doing every day. A broken open-source journal doesn't even know its own name. I don't recommend submitting to this journal anymore. Two words: **.

Is this too exaggerated? I've paid the fee and still haven't seen the publication? I submitted my article in August last year, it was reviewed by 2 reviewers and then sent back for revisions, and then an additional 4 reviewers were involved. It was really exhausting, I immediately submitted the revised article. The experience with this journal is not very friendly, considering we have to pay for their services and yet the quality is so poor.

It's been almost a year since being hired, but the publication has not been released yet. Every time I follow up with the editorial department, they respond promptly, but there has been no progress. I wonder what the reason could be. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation?

The first review took 3 months to hear back, which is a decent speed; the second review said they were inviting reviewers, it's been 4 months and still nothing. I will never submit to this journal again, it's too slow

Except for the time it took for the editor to make the final decision (two months), everything else was fine

Classmate, what is your current status now? My submission has been in an unassigned status for over two months, and it shows "withdraw" in the top right corner. What is going on?

Is it taking longer for the decision to be made after the rework? I have been waiting for a month and a half, and the editorial assistant keeps saying they are still making a decision /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

I am the editor of this journal and I have encountered this situation. We can only wait for the academic editor to find reviewers again and conduct a second, third round of external review, the time is uncertain

At first, I thought this was an open-access journal, and the speed would be faster than traditional Elsevier or Springer journals. Now, it's really nonsense...

It started off smoothly, just like my previous response. Submitted in early March, review began at the end of March, review completed in early April, major revision in mid to late April. Submitted our revisions in early May, expecting acceptance by mid-June, but unexpected changes occurred.
Received an email in early June for reassessment, then continuously assigned to an associate editor. Sent a few emails but couldn't clarify the situation. Ultimately rejected in mid-August. Found out that a new associate editor appointed two new reviewers, their feedback was not good, felt the direction was wrong. Previous reviews were invalidated, only the latest review was considered.

In comparison, the journal in the second quarter published my submission in early September. The journal in the first quarter completed two rounds of review by the end of August for my submission in late June. Surprisingly, this open-access journal took the longest time and was the most frustrating, with the worst outcome. I'm really frustrated. I won't consider submitting to this journal again in the future

Received reassessment email on August 21st, indicating that potential issues were identified during the peer review process of this paper. Another editor was consulted to review the entire process and it is possible that reviewers will be reassigned.
August 21st: ae assigned
