Very unprofessional, after 4 and half months waiting, we only got a brief message saying that , they cannot proceed with our paper due to high volume of submission and our paper contribution was not good enough. I really wonder what take them this time to reply such response. Only waste of time. Definitely, I don’t recommend this journal.

Accepting major revisions directly, the whole process takes one year, with the first review taking nine months

Hello, may I ask if CSUR is a direct acceptance after a major revision? We submitted around the same time, but I have been waiting for over half a month and still stuck at "awaiting decision approval"

In January 2024, major gave three months for revisions, which looked quite feasible

Top journal, but the review time is extraordinarily slow. The reviewing process for one of my papers took more than a year.
After receiving some major revisions, the revised paper got rejected with very little explanation from one of the reviewers.

Submitted 3 days ago and it shows "Under Review." Does that mean an editor has been assigned? Will it show "With Editor" eventually? If it goes for external review, what will it show?

After submission, it displays "under review." Does this status mean that a reviewer has been assigned? What will be shown when a reviewer is assigned?

May I ask how long the "awaiting decision approval" status of your first round of feedback has been?

I think this journal is relatively fast now. The initial review took four months, and the major revision and minor revision took some time.

The manuscript took nearly three years, equivalent to over half of a master's or doctoral program, from preparation to acceptance.

I filed it on January 3rd this year, and it went under review on the 6th. However, it has been 5 months now and still no response. I hope they can provide a major overhaul.

My just submitted document was told to exceed 35 pages within 1 day and required modifications. I adjusted the formatting to 28 pages and submitted it for review the next day... I don't know what happened.

Hello, I would like to inquire about how long it takes for an editor to be assigned after submitting a paper. It has been over a month since I submitted my paper and it has still not been assigned an editor. Have you encountered this situation? Should I send an email to inquire about it? I have heard from experienced individuals online that it is not recommended to send emails.

An iconic journal in the computer field. The journal editor is scrupulous about the content and language of the manuscript. Review times are extremely relaxed to ensure the quality of the review. After the latest editor and editor-in-chief, the speed of manuscript review has been accelerated, and the number of manuscripts published has increased slightly, but the quality of the journal has not decreased.

Journals with over ten factors in the field of information technology, but only a summary, 4 articles per year, more than 100 pages per article.Being a top journal is a bit too much.
