Slow batch, wait for a month and get a desk reject saying "out of scope." Frustrating. The homepage of the journal is full of similarly themed papers, what kind of editors are they?

When did this journal become so slow? It's been over ten days and still not with the editor

The review process for my paper is still manageable. The first round took about 3 months and required major revisions, while the second round took another 4 months for minor revisions. The paper was accepted upon submission of the minor revisions. However, it is currently difficult to find reviewers for my paper, and the review process varies greatly

Timeline of Submission:

May 2023 submit
May 2023 under review
Jul 2023 major revision (reviewed by two referees, most comments are about additional explanations)

Aug 2023 re-submit, with editor
Sep 2023 under review
Oct 2023 accept

Overall, the editorial efficiency is high, referees replied within one month. Good luck to everyone!

Same question, I have been submitting for more than 20 days, and it has always been "submitted". May I ask how long it took for the status to change afterwards?

Is it normal to have a period of one month with an editor? Thank you!

Excuse me, how long does it take to receive a manuscript number after submitting? It has been showing "Submitted to Journal" and there is no Manuscript Number yet.

In the field of transportation geography, Top ranking, SSCI inclusion, low publication volume, high rejection rate, and emphasis on method innovation. The review process takes approximately one year!
