I submitted my manuscript in June, but it's still "Awaiting Reviewer Selection" in November. This journal is really slow. Does anyone know if there are actually reviewers assigned to the manuscript, or if they haven't found any reviewers yet?

It has been five months and still no news. In "Awaiting Reviewer Selection," not sure what's going on.

How long is everyone's review period? It's been three and a half months and still no news. Does anyone know what's going on?

Awaiting reviewer assignment has been waiting for two months. I would like to inquire if it is necessary to follow up for the manuscript.

It is also unclear whether AE has accepted your situation. I don't feel comfortable pressuring them.

I was assigned an AE three days after submitting my manuscript.

Excuse me, how long does it take to assign an AE? Can this be expedited? Still waiting for the assignment of an AE with no follow-up.

The initial review took 3 months (after reminders) with 2 reviewers, followed by major revisions. The second review will be completed within 3 months.

May I ask how the follow-up of the reminder is going?

Where can I see the status changes of the paper? Can I see who the AE is?

What happened to the original poster later? It's been nearly a month for me too, and I'm also waiting for AE assignment. What's going on with this journal?

Hello, is there a specific template required when submitting an article to this journal, or can any template be used as long as it follows the double line spacing and single column format mentioned? Because there doesn't seem to be a specific template for submissions on their official website

Message the responsible editor in 3 months, the editor said they did not receive the invitation for this manuscript, please handle it as soon as possible. Is it a bug in the submission system, it's so frustrating

Awaiting Reviewer Selection for almost three months with no news yet

The initial review took two months (one month was spent on finding editors and reviewers, and one month was spent on the reviewers' evaluation). The manuscript underwent major revisions with feedback from three reviewers, totaling over 40 comments.
The second round of review lasted two weeks and another major revision was necessary. There was a reviewer's comment that was not clearly addressed, resulting in another five to six comments.
The third round of review took two weeks and the manuscript was accepted

Submission date for the paper is 10th August 2023.
On 25th September 2023, the paper template was rejected and a request was made to resubmit according to the template requirements.
For over a month, the editors have not reviewed the paper. There are also template issues. I directly followed the template downloaded from IEEE for this journal, but there is a URL requirement that is completely different from the journal template. It feels like a trap. It's easy to fall into the trap when submitting for the first time. Here is the URL: https://www.comsoc.org/publications/journals/ieee-tgcn/information-authors. I hope this can help others in the future!

I want to ask about the time to assign an Editor. I submitted my paper from 16 August and until now there is no change. Is it usual to take a long time for the assignment of the ED?
