Submitted in early May, accepted in early November. It took nearly three months to find all the reviewers, but once they were all gathered, the process went smoothly.

It has been almost three months since I submitted my manuscript, it was listed as Manuscript Under Consideration in July, but there have been no updates since then. I'm wondering what's going on.

Excuse me, does "under consideration" mean it has been submitted for review? How long does the external review process usually take? Is it true that under Naturan it's about a month for a decision to be made?

Hello, may I ask how long this "under consideration" status will last before we can expect the next status?

Hello, how long does the "under consideration" status typically last before moving on to the next stage?

The first two Manuscripts Under Consideration were not sent for external review and remained in the hands of the editor.

The submission has been quiet for a long time, almost 2 months, and it was returned for formatting changes. Submitting is quite troublesome. 
At the same time, finding an editor in this field is time-consuming. It took almost five months to receive three opinions, which were quite professional and challenging. 
The editor decided to return the manuscript for revisions and resubmission. 
I am still considering whether to resubmit. Overall, it is very time-consuming. It feels like a waste of time.

This is my first submission. I would like to ask everyone if the stage "Manuscript Under Consideration" means that the manuscript has already been submitted for review. Thank you~

Do you know if this "Manuscript Under Consideration" is for initial review by the editorial department or for external review?

I have submitted for two months, with a format revision in between, and it has not been sent for review yet... It has always been "Manuscript Received".

I submitted a paper before, with very strict formatting requirements. The submission process was very cumbersome and took a lot of time.

The technical review of the submission took a long time, with multiple revisions needed to adjust the formatting.

After the submission, the status bar is usually clear, but I also encountered editors who did not update the status bar regularly. After more than five months, I finally received two reviews.

One recommended major revisions, and the other recommended rejection, ultimately the editor decided to reject the paper.

In summary, the quality requirements are quite high, and the journal follows a double-blind review process. The average acceptance period is more than 8 months. If you are waiting to graduate, it is recommended to switch to a faster journal.

Do you have a submission template for this journal? I couldn't find it on the official website.

Submitted on April 25th, it has been 50 days and it is still in the initial review stage. Have any friends who recently submitted experienced such a slow review process?

The review process is fast. As a sub-journal under Nature, JCR Q1, the feedback is specific and professional, allowing authors to make targeted revisions. The handling process, review and editing system are all very professional, and the manuscript was officially published online after 8 months.

The journal, as a subsidiary of Nature, has a high quality, but the process is relatively slow. Another paper has been submitted for almost a year without finding sufficient editors, and after being notified, the author chose to withdraw the submission

Not recommended. The quantity of articles increases arbitrarily, with varying quality and a large variance. There are a few excellent articles as well as some very mediocre ones. There is no consistent evaluation standard, and space fees are charged, making it easy to have setbacks

Excuse me, is there no communication at all between February and September after submission? Will there be any revisions after major revisions?

Initially, the submission was to a Q2 journal by Springer, but it was desk rejected because the topic did not align. However, the free transfer service was initiated.
In early February 2023, it was recommended to transfer the submission to Humanities and Social Sciences Communications by Springer's transfer system.
In early September 2023, received major revision comments.
Submitted revised manuscript on October 16, 2023.
Principle acceptance on November 14, 2023.
Formal acceptance on November 17, 2023
