When submitting manuscripts to a selected journal, initially in the top tier for review, but then dropped to the non-top tier after submission, I never expected this to happen!!! The review process is quite lengthy.

Waited for 5 months to say that they couldn't find reviewers, then directly rejected the submission... Serious delay for graduation

It's down to the third district. Ah, it has become a journal. How did it end up with a new editor?

I can't believe it has changed to Zone 3. I started voting for Zone 1, I really didn't expect this

9.16 was repaired again, and each time only 1-2 new issues were raised. However, each repair takes 10 days to receive a response. The editor is about to suffocate from frustration

Two reviewers' comments, revised and under review (one reviewer), after half a month with editor, under review again on the same day (another reviewer). Does anyone know what this means?

The most interesting thing is that the first author is an international doctoral student whose native language is English (from Zimbabwe). Therefore, I didn't make major changes to the initial draft as long as it was understandable. I thought the language was a bit verbose, but I didn't make significant changes to the wording. However, during the first round of review, an expert pointed out hundreds of grammar, typing, and fluency errors, suggesting that we seek professional translation services to improve the language. Our team, relying on my writing skills in English, which I believe are not inferior to native speakers, has never sought professional English editing before, and this time was no exception. After revising our scientific questions and responses, I critically reviewed the entire text with a strict spirit, and some paragraphs were completely transformed. After the revisions, the second-round expert said there was a significant improvement, and the editor did not mention any language issues again.

The chief editor personally handled it and also sought assistance from a deputy chief editor from China. It feels friendly and impartial.

Why has my submission been "with editor" for a month?

(0) 讚！ | 361du

The translation of the text into English is as follows: 

Initially, it started with editing for revision, and then submitted to the editor for review. After three days, it went into the "under review" stage. However, after 1.5 months, it was directly rejected. I didn't understand why the experts' feedback only suggested minor revisions. Then, the editor recommended a toxicology-related journal that was not an SCI (Science Citation Index) journal. After rejecting the transfer, it was directly rejected. If it didn't meet the criteria from the beginning, why bother with peer review?

Posted on November 9th of the 22nd year, reviewed by the editor around November 11th or 12th, under review within a week, received major revisions comments on December 4th, revised and resubmitted on the 21st, accepted on the 27th. The editor and reviewers were very efficient, providing valuable suggestions. This journal is highly recommended.

The editors and reviewers were very efficient, and the first review was completed within two weeks. The reviewers were very professional and raised many questions, which greatly helped improve the quality of the manuscript.

A good journal with fast review speed. It is a bit low-key as a top toxicology journal. Hopefully, the impact factor can be improved this year.

After waiting for the first review for about four weeks, we got the result with only requiring a polishing, and no other requirements. I submitted it after language editing, and four weeks later, it was accepted directly. It was very lucky.
