How are you doing? Did you receive any reminders for the submission? I hope the editor won't be upset

Submitted at the end of March, it took 4 months to find a reviewer. In August, a rejection email was sent and the paper was resubmitted. After minor revisions in September, it was accepted.

May I ask which magazine you subscribed to with a rating of 6.4 in Zone 1? Can you recommend it?

According to the requirements of the corresponding magazine, the format should be followed when writing. If there is no fixed format, choose the appropriate format based on the type of article. Regardless of the format, structuring the abstract makes the data more clear and understandable

Different Types: Descriptive, Informational, and Structured. Descriptive abstracts are commonly used in social sciences and humanities, providing general information without specific details about research methods and conclusions. Informational abstracts are often found in scientific papers, presenting details about research background, objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. Structured abstracts focus on information and are organized with a series of headings (e.g., objectives, methods, results, conclusions), primarily used in medical papers and clinical trial reports

The review process is fast, with each review taking about a month. There are two reviewers and their feedback is very positive. Minor revisions are given a two-month timeline. Personally, I feel that this journal lives up to its reputation as an established publication, as the editors and reviewers are very dedicated and responsible, patiently providing opportunities for proofing. When looking for a job, having publications in this journal is highly regarded by others.

Hmm, the editor said they just found the reviewer.

Is it that you couldn't find a suitable reviewer?

Has the reviewing process slowed down recently? It has been over 40 days and it is still "Awaiting Reviewer Assignment".

I agree with your statement. I also appreciate your suggestion. Now, this article has been accepted by a top journal in the field of agricultural and forestry sciences, with a score of 6.4 in the first quartile. I never said that the journal is bad. I just think it's strange that the editor suggested submitting it to their own magazine. What does that imply? Wouldn't a normal person think that the editor wants to include this article in their own journal? I am just stating the truth and not defaming anyone or any journal.

Is the person upstairs giving advice to everyone? I'm afraid the opinion is biased! Why do you think your article is suitable for EM, but it was still rejected? (Don't you think it's because your article is not good enough?). The editor suggested that you submit to MB, but it's just a suggestion. The MB editor also has the right to judge whether the manuscript is suitable or not. You can choose not to accept the transfer, right? If you think your manuscript is not that relevant, isn't it expected to be rejected? EM can be said to be a highly reputable magazine in the industry, and the editorial review is very strict and objective. So it's better to focus more on improving the quality of your own articles and research.

My paper was submitted and it is also being handled by this editor. It has been a month already and it is still in the selection process.

An article about environmental microbiology and dairy products, which was very suitable for EM, was rejected by Professor Kenneth Timmis after I submitted it. He suggested that I submit it to the journal Microbial Biotechnology, which he is the editor-in-chief of. Although I felt that my article was not a perfect fit for Microbial Biotechnology, I decided to follow the editor's advice as he seemed interested in the article. After transferring the submission to Microbial Biotechnology, the recommended handling editor for my manuscript was also Kenneth Timmis. I explicitly mentioned in the cover letter that he suggested the transfer. However, the final editor who took over the manuscript was Hui Wang. It took over a week, and just when I thought it was going to be sent for review, they rejected it, citing that it did not fit the journal's theme. This whole process took up a month of time. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind these actions, and I hope others can learn from my experience.

May I ask, I have resubmitted twice now. One reviewer agreed to accept, while another reviewer declined and asked me to resubmit. Currently, it is in the status of "awaiting reviewer selection." What does this mean? Is the original reviewer already reviewing it, or do I need to find a new reviewer?

The editor made me resubmit twice, and now it has been half a month since the third submission, still awaiting processing.

Review speed: 3.0 Experience sharing: I would like to ask the experts, what are the processes for reviewing articles in EM journals? It has been a week and mine is still awaiting processing. Can anyone offer some advice?

Excuse me, what are the procedures for review of Edmonton Journal? It has been one week, and the status of my article is still awaiting processing. Please think of a way for me.
