Has anyone encountered this situation? The first submission was rejected after one month of editorial review, and then resubmitted after about 2 months of revision. However, it has been 4 months now and it is still in Editorial assessment status. It has briefly changed to "with one or more reviewers", but then reverted back a few days later. Could it be that they haven't found reviewers? Has anyone experienced this before?

After submission, the status has remained as "With editor for recommendation" for more than 10 days, without any other changes. Can anyone help interpret this? Is the editor preparing to reject the submission?

There are fewer journal reviews, and I usually like to read reviews. So, I'm here to contribute one~ Submitted on March 1, 2023, received the first review on May 14 (Reject with Resubmission), received the feedback on July 7, received the second review on August 14 (revision), and then returned one week later. After waiting for nearly a month, it was accepted on September 19. Both reviewers and the associate editor provided professional feedback, which helped improve the article significantly. The comprehensive double-blind review process was fair and friendly to Chinese researchers. However, the entire process took more than six months, mainly due to my delay in making the first revision, which took almost two months. I personally speculate that there may not have been a major revision option in the reviewers' feedback, only options for rejection with resubmission and minor modifications

FE is a highly recognized journal in the field of ecology. Recently, a study on the spatial structure of plant communities and their relationship with productivity was published in FE. The review process takes about two months.

May I ask what is going on with the switch between "editorial assessment" and "with one or more reviewers"?

Hello, may I ask what "送审了" means?

For one month, it has been "with editor for recommendation". I sent an email to inquire, and the next day it changed to "with one or more reviewers". After half a day, it changed to "editorial assessment". I don't know if it has been sent for review. Could you please tell me what the status of "送审了" means?

Does it mean making a decision from "with one or more reviewers" to "Editorial assessment" as mentioned above?

What's the reason? The same.

After publishing one article in the middle of 2020, another one was published at the end of 2021, both with me as the corresponding author. It seems that the editors have become familiar with my work through these two submissions, and they have even invited me to write a popular science article for the magazine's blog. The review process was very efficient, with only minor revisions required for both submissions, and they were accepted within a week after making the revisions. I hope this magazine continues to thrive.

Hello, I have one more question: Do I need to submit the raw data to the Dryad Digital Repository database before submitting the manuscript and obtain a DOI number for the data?

You are referring to a cover letter, right? Yes, you need to explain the highlights of your article.

May I ask, is a lay summary required for the initial submission of a manuscript to FE?

It took us 10 days to submit our manuscript for review, and it has been a month without any news. After reading everyone's comments, I feel that this magazine is quite slow, and it is estimated that it will take more than a month and a half to possibly receive the reviewer's comments.

The review speed was a bit slow, and it had been nearly two months before review comments came back. The manuscript went through at least 3 editors or editor office members. Two review comments, together with one review comment from the editorial office, was equivalent to three reviewers. The senior editor in charge of my field made a summary. The comments of the three reviewers were very good, very appropriate and very professional. Seeing the review comments, I regretted submitting to this journal, but I felt that I should have submitted to a better journal, and I should submit to PNAS first. The journal uses a double-blind review. When I returned the revised manuscript, my name was not deleted from the letter the senior editor sent. Then they returned it to me, saying that my personal information would be leaked. I quickly deleted it and uploaded it again. It was a hard three weeks later that they sent me an email and officially accepted it. Generally speaking, the review process was slow and they checked at every level. The IF has gradually decreased in recent years, and the new IF released this year has dropped to 4.4, which is disappointing. I hope that it could climb back to 5 again in the future.

Why is such a good journal not a top journal? The Chinese Academy of Sciences' rating standard is really not complimented

One month after submission, the editor rejected it. The comments were written carefully, but I think the editor did not understand the core of my article, Just pointed out non-existing problems based on his old knowledge.
