The second article in BMC Plant Biology this year, personally I feel that the reviewers and editors of this journal are quite professional, and the comments they provided are more pertinent. The biggest issue lies in the luck factor of the review period of this journal. The first article was submitted for almost a year, with many revisions back and forth. The second article had relatively better luck, and was accepted after only two rounds of revisions.

The first submission was sent for review to 10 reviewers, and 5 of them accepted the review. Does this mean that I will receive feedback from the final 5 reviewers?

I submitted the manuscript on June 21, 23 and it was accepted on September 23, 24, which took three months, relatively fast. The review comments were all good, just minor issues. I hope other people can also publish smoothly!

The journal with a good reputation, I submitted my manuscript in October 2023 and went through five rounds of revisions. It took over two months each time to receive feedback, and each round had different opinions. After multiple revisions, my manuscript was finally accepted on August 29, 2024. The overall review process was a bit slow, so if time is tight, you may want to consider submitting to a different journal.

After the second review and revision, the experts have not reviewed your article yet. Therefore, we have invited a new reviewer. This mainly reflects the lack of standardized management in the journal, and the editors are not familiar with your content and are hesitant to make decisions. It would be great if the journal had a consulting team in all areas, so that if the reviewers have not reviewed the article, the consulting team can take a look and the editor can accept it if there are no issues. How are you doing now?

Classmate, how long have you been waiting? Have you received any results yet? It's been a year since you submitted, and I'm already numb. There were three reviewers in the first round, and feedback from two of them came back first, both accepting the revisions. Then the feedback from the third reviewer came back, requiring major revisions. It's been over two months since the revisions were submitted, and there's still no news. After one month, I followed up and was told that there were enough reviews collected, waiting for the handling editor to make a decision. Another month passed, and there's still no progress. I followed up again yesterday. When will this end? Graduating students in a hurry should be cautious about submitting!! A painful lesson...

I just received a review request, and they only gave me one month to complete the review.

The review speed is too slow and there is no guarantee at all.

Family members, it has been almost a year since I submitted my work for consideration, but I have yet to receive a response of acceptance or rejection. Each time I inquire about the status, I am told to be patient and wait, but I feel like I am being constantly brushed off.

Have you revised it, OP? Or did you just get rejected directly after 7 months of review?

In the ninth month after submission, it has been reviewed four times and underwent major revisions four times. The reviewers have agreed to accept it, but the editor has found a third reviewer. I just can't understand. Now they are not responding to my reminders and I am thinking about withdrawing the submission

My paper has been under review for nine months, with four rounds of revisions. Originally, two reviewers accepted the paper after the second round of revisions. However, the editor then brought in a third reviewer. I don't understand this strange behavior. I have now been asked to submit revisions twice, but there has been no response

This magazine is just too trashy, the review period is not guaranteed at all. It's been a year, and despite numerous reminders, there has been no response. If I receive their review in the future, I will definitely delay it as much as possible!

Experience sharing: This journal has been terrible recently, reminders have never received a reply, too too slow!!
