This magazine has been making money since its redesign to OA, with some operations that completely baffle you. The first review only found one reviewer, and the other one clearly seems to be written by the editor, which is very unprofessional. The second review has been waiting for 1 and a half months now, and the reviewer's comments have been back for over 40 days. The editor neither accepts nor rejects the submission, just procrastinates, and every time they email the assistant editor, it's just perfunctory. The second review is longer than the first review, which I have never encountered before, and now the manuscript is sitting with the editor without any response. Furthermore, the layout fee is $4100, so be cautious about submitting your work

I have been waiting for almost two months for the return and repair. I really have no idea what the magazine is doing

Research focus: Tumor; Bioinformatics experience sharing: The process was very quick, hoping for improvement in the journal in the future

I can't do it anymore... after September last year, I switched to using OA it seems. The layout fee is a bit expensive, but there's no other way

The final update, which was online last week, was finally completed. It was not easy, and I was so nervous

Yesterday I messaged the assistant editor Khazana, who had been brushing me off before. Yesterday she said the editor is evaluating my article. I feel like they really are short-staffed lately. Everyone please be patient

My article has been waiting for the second review for a whole month. May has many holidays, so recently the efficiency may be low

Is this magazine no longer available in non-OA format? The layout fee of 30,000 is still a bit expensive

Vancouver is fine. Make some changes as requested

I am the same way. Is there a result behind it?

I'm still preparing things for the APC. The emails I've written in the meantime are mostly adding what the editors requested. Maybe I should check other corresponding authors' emails? Otherwise, I'll just have to wait again, I suppose

Which reference citation format should I use?

Is the boss online already? Have you written an email? I haven't received any messages yet

May 1, 2024 update. Entering the proofreading phase. The official website will send you a link directly for proofreading. Then answer the formatting questions they give you (such as verifying the accuracy of the title). Currently, it seems that no additional attachments are needed. Of course, the specific situation can be discussed

God, I wanted to ask you how long it took for the second review. It's been almost a month since my second review, and it's been 18 days since the comments from the reviewer came back. Do you think I should follow up?

Anxiously waiting, not knowing when there will be results

Currently no. But now there is no proof, I uploaded the form that the editor asked me to resubmit (I didn't even find or submit the email attachment in the Springer system...). I will reply to you if there are any updates!

Just wait for a moment! My deadline for accepting submissions is March 11th, but I asked for an extension to April 1st via email, so it might be a bit slow. You can wait a bit first, and then check the emails of a few authors. I already sent it to other authors as an editor, and that author didn't pay attention to it (maybe they thought I already knew) hhh

Strange progress has occurred! It turns out that the email sent on 4.1 asked us to complete the form, but the email was not sent to the corresponding author but to someone else, so it has not been seen all along. In the meantime, two email reminders were sent to us to reply...how strange. The additional information has been submitted, and if there are any new developments, I will continue to update in the comments section, hoping to help others!

I also take one to two months to finish peer review, so let's wait and see. It's possible that it's still under review, there might be news in a couple of days
