Hello, I would like to ask how long it takes to proofread after receiving the manuscript? Is it currently online? Thank you

My article is in the status of "Required Reviews Completed", how long does it usually last?

After two rounds of revisions, it took a total of four to five months. However, I procrastinated for one month each time I needed to revise my own work, which wasted quite a bit of time. Overall, it was a good submission experience. It's sad to see that my submission was downgraded to Tier 3 by the Chinese Academy of Sciences

PS: It was not easy to conduct additional experiments as suggested by the reviewers, we tactfully explained the objective difficulties and clearly outlined the limitations and value of existing results. Fortunately, the editor agreed with our perspective and the paper was smoothly accepted! It is a well-established journal with good reputation though not high impact factor

From submission to acceptance, a little over 2 months, very fast speed, the editor is very nice, pointing out many language issues for us, a very pleasant experience!

The second review returned in 13 days and became "required reviews completed". It has been 4 days now, feeling anxious because I did not completely follow the reviewer's suggestions to conduct additional experiments. How long do you experts typically stay in this state?

Overhaul means recommitment

How long does it typically take to receive the results after the first round of revisions? Will my paper be rejected if I don't completely follow the reviewer's suggestions for additional experiments?

Is a revision considered a major overhaul or a minor repair? Does he have the option of a major overhaul?

May I ask which editor the original poster has chosen? I want to avoid any pitfalls.

I replied to the editor, stating that both reviewers are experts, but they did not question my appeal and did not answer any of my questions. It was the worst submission experience, and I don't want to submit to this journal anymore. The editor is extremely irresponsible. If anyone plans to submit, I suggest avoiding this German editor.

Posting one month's worth of review comments is considered fast. However, none of the fatal comments are reasonable, and it feels like they were not carefully reviewed based on my manuscript. I can provide sufficient reasons to refute each point. I wrote an appeal letter to the editor a week ago, but I haven't received any response yet. At least, they should reply something! I guess I will have to submit to another journal again! I really hate this careless reviewer who overturned all my arguments with one point they deemed unreasonable.

May I ask if senior Plantas allow co-corresponding authorship? The system defaults to one corresponding author at the time of submission

Your collaboration with the editor has been going on for months, is it completed?

When submitting, you must choose one editor-in-chief. I don't know if I chose the wrong editor-in-chief, but the article was rejected the day after submission. The efficiency is really high! The rejection letter stated that the readership of the article is not broad enough and suggested submitting it to a more suitable journal.

Each sentence in the abstract should provide maximum information and be as concise as possible. The length of the abstract generally does not exceed 300 words. The beginning of the abstract should present the most important information (but not repeat the title). It can be the purpose or topic, as well as the results or conclusions. The abstract should include only 4 or 5 key points, results, or implications

Abstract includes some common key sections, each section is about one to two sentences, such as Background, Aim or purpose of research, Method used, Findings/results and Conclusion

How can reviewers understand my research from the abstract alone?
