Employment in May, shortly after being offered, was put ON HOLD by WOS. The journal has now made corrections and retracted a paper suspected of citation manipulation

Submitted in January, online in April, put on hold in May. Is anyone more tragic than me?

It is indeed a top-notch journal under the International Water Association. The comments for revisions are very professional and prompt, with reviewers providing feedback within a month, acceptance within around two months, and indexing in just over two months

Continuously updating status, after urging a bit, they rejected me.

The review process is indeed not very fast. It took a total of 5 months, with the first review taking two months to provide comments and minor revisions. For the second review, another reviewer was appointed, which caused a delay of two more months. The comments from the second review were accepted after the minor revisions and we were notified of acceptance 5 days later. However, the administrator of the journal was really good. During this period, we urgently needed to graduate, so we reminded them several times, and they always responded promptly. Thank you, Lucy Ibbotson.

After the first revision, I waited for about 20 days and was directly hired.

The manuscript review process is relatively slow. After communicating with the editor, it was revealed that they couldn't find reviewers. The submission was made in early September, and revision suggestions were received only in early January. Finally, three editors provided feedback, which was relatively fair. If there is no urgency, you can consider trying this journal.

There is no layout fee this year.

Time has passed for too long, it should be necessary to send a reminder letter, which should include the information of the reviewer. The editorial department of this journal has a good attitude; the acceptance is determined by the content and will not be rejected simply because you are urging.

I did not submit a special issue. At that time, reviewers were provided and my status was updated quite quickly. This mainly depends on the research direction and content of the paper. I had external review for two to three months, and the reviewer changed every month.

At that time, I submitted a total of two papers. The first one was submitted on April 20th, and it is still under external review. The date changes every month, and it is said that they couldn't find suitable reviewers or the reviewers are unfamiliar with the content, so the journal is looking for new reviewers. The second one I submitted on May 10th, and since the direction is quite common, the external review process was quick.

Is the submission a special issue? Do you have any recommended reviewers? Are the weekly updates being made? 
I submitted a manuscript for the call for papers, but I haven't been recommended any reviewers. It has been almost three months now and the status is updated every week, but it seems like they haven't found any reviewers yet. It feels really slow. I don't know what to do.

Currently, it has been two months since submission, and the deadline for updates changes every Monday. Now, recommending reviewers, is it too urgent and could it lead to the rejection of the manuscript by the editor?

(0) 讚！ | 李煜鑫

Not a special issue. You can ask the editorial department if they can't find reviewers, and then you can recommend reviewers.

Just asking, did you submit to special issues? Is it possible to expedite the special issue? Mine is also currently updating the timeline weekly, maybe I haven't found a reviewer yet.

Post on September 27, 2021, quickly entered the review stage, and the "Under Review" date kept changing. After three months, I sent a reminder, and the reply said it was under review. Then every month, I sent a reminder again, and the reply said they were looking for reviewers or waiting for reviewer comments. The last time, I couldn't take it anymore and wrote a letter recommending a reviewer, but the editor didn't adopt it. Not long after, the reviewer's comments came back.

On May 3, 2022, major revisions were made, and on May 15, 2022, the revised manuscript was returned.

On June 6, 2022, minor revisions were made, and on June 10, 2022, the revised manuscript was returned. Then after a long wait, the reviewer kept delaying. Every month, I sent a reminder letter, and the reply always said it was under review or something similar.

Accepted on August 15, 2022.

Throughout this process of more than 10 months, the reviewer took too long, and the editorial department did not timely urge the reviewer.

Hello, I would like to ask if this journal requires a publication fee.

(0) 讚！ | LLLDDDXXX

The first review took between 2 and a half to 3 months, with updates to the status no less than 3 times. It feels like some of the reviewers exceeded the time limit without completing the review, so the journal selected alternative reviewers, hence the longer time. My submission cycle is close to half a year, as this journal has a relatively low annual publication volume, so it is generally slow.

You have spent several months reviewing it, but it has been almost four months for me. The Status Date has changed several times in between.

The review process is long, while the revision process is short.
