I have been on a diet for a month and a half. How did yours turn out in the end?

Without undergoing under review, it has become "Decision in Process." It has been half a month now, who knows what the situation is.

After "With editor," it goes directly to "Decision in Process." It has been in the "Decision in Process" status for half a month. Does anyone know if it has been sent for review?

I would like to request authors' analysis of recent review articles that are similar, as well as any new content or perspectives they offer. Please also provide an explanation of how the target audience of the journal could benefit from the article, based on the previous explanations.

Addressing and identifying research gaps, and pointing the way for future work should go beyond mere description of identified articles and include a degree of analysis and conceptual information. All of this work is presented in the abstract of the review, which cannot manipulate the information extracted from the literature.

Please post a universal review template, which is also the review opinion received from the journal. Reviewers did not read the paper and directly gave the following opinions.

One month after submission, it took another month for review, and then a decision was returned without any rejection reasons. Overall, the process was too slow, which was disappointing as I was hoping for a quicker response

I recently submitted my work, but it seems that I did not find a journal editor. My supervisor appears to have directly submitted it.

Hello, do you need editing for the draft? Or is it fine to submit it directly after writing? Thank you.

I have been writing for over a year, very seriously. I forgot the specific submission and review dates, but I submitted in November 2021 and received the review comments in early January 2022. It required major revisions as several reviewers provided hundreds of suggestions, big and small. Initially, I thought the revisions would be quick, but I realized that many minor issues were crucial. The reviewers were highly skilled, responsible, and clearly experienced professors from abroad. With the inclusion of the Spring Festival holiday, two months were not enough for the revisions, so I applied for a one-month extension. I returned in early April and shortly after, the paper was accepted. It was my first high-scored article, and I was happy for a long time after its acceptance. Since then, I have improved my writing skills. In the future, I will mainly focus on publishing in reputable journals within the first or second quartile.

I would like to inquire about the submission process. Do I need to make an appointment in advance or write a proposal?

(0) 讚！ | SURPERME

Too difficult. The review comments hit the nail on the head. But the journal is really good. Most of articles need to be invited. The journal requires authors to be at home in the field and know them very well. Otherwise, the authors will not pass the reviewers.

We submitted in mid-March and received the reviewers’ comments at the end of April. Our manuscript was recommended for major revisions, which we completed, and ultimately it was accepted post-revisions at the end of July. Not the worst in terms of review speed, but not the fastest either.

Why do you always share the cost of submissions in your submission experience?
