I submitted for 7 months, always invited by the editor, sent three reminder emails in between, and finally lost patience and withdrew the submission. The submission was on the topic of vehicle routing problem. It seems that the journal has few editors in this area, making it difficult to find reviewers. The submission system is also not user-friendly. I spent a long time editing in Word to convert to LaTeX, but without any results, which was very unpleasant.

Submitted in April, after four rounds of revisions, the reviewers were professional and meticulous. The editor gave me the opportunity, and it was accepted for publication 12 months later.

Delivered in mid-January, the status has been switching back and forth between 'with editor' and 'editor invited'. Finally on April 9th, it stayed at 'with editor'. Does this mean they are still looking for a responsible editor and have not reached the initial review stage?

Ps. Sent emails to the official editorial department during this period, but still no response

Polite inquiry, may I ask if there are any updates? I submitted my application in January 2024, and it has been over three months since the submission and initial review. So I would like to know about your situation

Hello, it's been over 20 days since the major revision and it's still in the status of "with editor". Should we remind the editor?

Hello, I have been with the editor since the major revision. Should I remind the chief editor about it? Could you please provide some advice?

You can urge them, otherwise it's really frustrating

Submitted in January last year, returned in July, saying that the reviewers couldn't be found and the journal was not suitable. I'm so frustrated!!!!

Just skimmed through the revision comments, they are all very objective and constructive, but a bit challenging to implement

Research direction is intelligent optimization algorithms for logistics systems. It seems that the time spent on this direction is much longer than that of game theory, as articles on game theory published by other professors in the college are usually included after about eight months

I submitted my manuscript on November 8th and it still shows "with editor" status. It may not have been sent for external review yet. I don't know how long I will have to wait

Are there any big names that have submitted manuscripts recently? Is the review process for this journal fast? Is it difficult to get published here?

Hello, I would like to ask how long it will take for it to be published online after it is accepted? Does the online search you mentioned mean online publication?

Hello, I would like to ask if submitting a revised version also requires submitting the modified versions in Word and LaTeX. There shouldn't be a template for replying to reviewers, right?
