I submitted my paper in October and the editor directly sent it to 15 reviewers. Three of them accepted, and I received their comments in 21 days. The feedback was very positive. Maybe I was lucky to get responses so quickly.

Similarly, there is only one reviewer up until now. Originally, two reviewers were accepted, but it seems that one of them has disappeared. Another reviewer was re-invited on the 25th of last month, but there has been no response.

I am like you, updating my status every week for the past half year, but there is only one reviewer.

The submission was only reviewed a month later, and then a new reviewer was invited every week. After more than half a year, only one reviewer agreed and completed the review. Should the reviewer pool at PT be updated, or is it because the editor did not invite reviewers based on the research field? Or is it because the impact factor of PT has dropped significantly this year and no one is willing to review anymore? It is worth mentioning that the WOS zone has dropped to Q2 for the first time since 2015. Whether the Chinese Academy of Sciences zone can still maintain its status as a second-tier zone by the end of this year is also a problem. It is a pity that the mentors and senior brothers in the group have reviewed many manuscripts for this journal for free before, but when the group first submitted to this journal, it was delayed for a long time.

Excuse me, OP, are you also being treated by Academician Fan? It's been a long wait and I'm getting impatient.

It's been over a month since we applied, and we're still waiting. Is it always handled by Academician Fan recently? Can Academician Fan please not handle it personally anymore? It's really frustrating, the progress is so slow.

Having been submitted for half a month, it is still with the editor. Those who are in a hurry to graduate should be cautious when submitting.

It's too slow, it's been over 10 days since submission to the journal and it still hasn't reached the editor.

In September, we submitted our manuscript to six reviewers, five of whom accepted the review invitation. In less than a month, all the reviews were returned. Four reviewers suggested minor revisions, while the fifth reviewer did not reject or request major revisions, but raised a few questions. However, the editor-in-chief decided to reject the manuscript directly. It was extremely frustrating.

Found 10 reviewers, only one accepted but finished quickly. Now updating status weekly, not inviting new reviewers anymore.

Last time with this journal, couldn't find enough reviewers and with the first reviewer's negative feedback, got rejected.

So I'm curious, what are the requirements for reviewers in this journal? Why is it so difficult to invite reviewers?

It has been two months and it has been under review all this time. We have invited 12 reviewers but none of them have responded. Is there still hope?

I submitted on 3.13. Currently invited 29, agreed 1, submitted 1, but can't find a second reviewer for my life. Contacted customer service once in between to reach out to the editor. No rejection.

Did the holiday start? It has been a long time since the submission, and it has been in the editor's hands all along.
