Hello, what is the current status of your article?

I was initially concerned about the speed of the journal, but later it proved that the processing time is among the best in the journal, which may be because it is relatively easy to find reviewers in the field of oncology. The editors were generally quick in handling the submission process. In addition, real-time monitoring of the progress of reviewers can be done on the Elsevier system. Overall, the entire journal submission process was satisfactory, and the impact factor this year has been maintained at around 20. Looking forward to receiving more articles and stabilizing the impact factor.

Submitted article in early August 24.
Received reviewer comments on September 7th, major revisions required, but the reviewer's comments were mostly positive.
Returned on October 10th.
Accepted in early November 24.

The feeling I get is, once the editor invites reviewers, if the actual number of reviewers who accept the review is not enough, they will just leave your article hanging there without assigning any more reviewers. They won't respond to your attempts to communicate, forcing you to withdraw the submission on your own.

Wait for two more days and we're ready to give up. It's been four and a half months in total, and they just won't invite reviewers. Whether you contact Elsevier's author support, the editor, the Materials Today editorial team, or the Materials Today publisher, the editor simply refuses to communicate or respond in any way. You can try reaching out via email to anyone you want, but it won't make a difference.

Similar to the situation downstairs, the submission was made on May 12th and so far the system shows that one reviewer has agreed to review and provide feedback. It is still under review at the moment, and we still need to invite more reviewers. Over the past few months, we have sent many emails to Elsevier support and the editor, but only a few reviewers were added in early June after the initial invitation, and then there was no response. We have submitted many articles before, and have never encountered a similar situation.

February 6, 2024 Under Review System shows that 12 reviewers have been invited

June 5, 2024 Currently showing no reviewers have accepted the invitations (Review invitations accepted: 0)

Emails were sent to the editor-in-chief and editors requesting to invite more reviewers, but no replies were received. 

Contacted Elsevier Service, they said they have recorded our request, but there has been no change since then.

This is the first time encountering this situation despite having published over 50 first-author/corresponding author papers

Why are the journals with an impact factor of more than twenty now downgraded to non-top by the Chinese Academy of Sciences?
