Share my timeline, although the overall situation is On hold, I still hope to safely navigate through the storm, hoping that everything will be fine:

8.4 Submission
8.16 Editor's comments on formatting, revised on the same day
9.6 Major revision
9.28 Resubmission
11.5 Acceptance

Both the reviewers and the associate editor were very responsible, providing more than 60 very professional and insightful comments, which greatly improved the quality of the article.

If the time is too long, you can really consider withdrawing the submission. If it is published this year, it will at least be in the first division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Who knows what the situation will be like next year? If it is downgraded to the second division, it is better to withdraw the submission now.

Submitted on July 19, 2024, it is still under review to this day.

Evacuated, classmate, I am also considering whether to evacuate for major repairs.

Classmate, you need to understand what "on hold" means. After being put on hold, your article will not be searchable, which means that even if it is online, it will not have a WOS number, indicating that it does not have a legitimate identity. If you use this article for job applications or to obtain a degree, it will not be recognized (the reason being that the retrieval report issued by the checking institution cannot retrieve your article). In addition, it is very common for articles to be on hold for over a year, so if the article is important, it is necessary to make arrangements as early as possible.

The first submission to the journal was rejected, but the recent submission received major revisions in an email received yesterday. I am considering withdrawing the submission, feeling extremely upset.

The editors may be discussing next steps now, and based on Chemosphere's experience, reducing the number of articles is a definite possibility.

"Being on hold should not affect being online, but the SCI cannot be retrieved."

Could it be that the editing stopped working after being put on hold? I submitted on October 19th and it has been with the editor until October 31st.

I just submitted my article and then saw it was put on hold.

The day before it was accepted and the proofreading was completed, but now I still can't see the online version, what could be the reason? After being put on hold, can't even see the article or search it?

Brother, I share the same feelings as you, but I believe in this journal. I hope this journal can overcome its difficulties soon. Keep going, keep going, keep going.

Do you have any insiders? What is the probability of being kicked out of SCI?

Sure! Just not sure if it will be resolved.

The paper has been accepted, but the journal is currently on hold. Can it still be accessed?

Why withdraw the submission after it has been reviewed? Why not just make the revisions instead? It's really annoying.

Is there any news about withdrawing the submission now?

It's hopeless now.

Due to being on hold, the new article has stopped being included in SCI until the investigation is completed. If the hold is lifted, it will be included again. If it is removed from SCI-E, then it's game over.

Oh.

"On hold" has nothing to do with partitioning. It just means that after being put on hold, the online paper cannot be retrieved.

If in the UR stage, you can email the Elsevier China Customer Service Center for contact, it should be uncertain which editor to contact in the UR stage.

Was the withdrawal successful? How long does it take to withdraw successfully?
