It took five months, but finally it was accepted.
After spending one or two months finding reviewers.
Responding to reviewer comments.
One of the reviewers disappeared without giving feedback.
It took another one or two months to find new reviewers for the feedback.
Finally, I encountered a kind-hearted editor who accepted it.
A storm of tears.

Seeking help from experts, it has been a week since submitting to APL, how long does it usually take for the editor to process it until it is sent for review? Is it better for the manuscript to stay in the hands of the editor for longer? Feeling anxious.

This is my first submission, and I was wondering if there will be an email notification after the submission.

The paper has been submitted for review, and the review comments suggest major revisions. There are 12 suggestions for improvement, including the addition of two new experiments.

Did the original poster submit it for review later?

It has been over a month since submission, and the first round of reviewer comments has come back. However, we have been unable to locate the second reviewer, and six or seven have declined to review. It is frustrating, and now it has moved on to Associate Editor Review. Does this mean the assistant editor is reviewing it themselves?

I submitted a job application, got rejected after the first review and minor revisions. After appealing and making modifications, I submitted for the second review. One reviewer quickly submitted their comments, while the other one who rejected it has disappeared. Still haven't found the second reviewer after a month. Sigh.

After your second review and rework, have you submitted it for review again?

The second review also requires revision suggestions, and we are already at the third review.

Yes, most of the time is wasted on finding reviewers.

Overall, the editing efficiency is quite high, but the reviewers are very slow.

I submitted my article on June 27th, and the second reviewer has still not been found. I am feeling frustrated.

One major revision, one minor revision, submitted at the end of June, returned for revision on August 15, second review on September 1, still no news at the moment.

When did you submit your manuscript for review? Were there two reviewers, and were their comments positive?

Why does my repair need to be reviewed again? Ugh.

Congratulations, OP, basking in your good luck. I would like to inquire about my submission. The first reviewer has already provided feedback 69 days ago, but the second reviewer has yet to be found. How can I find out if the first reviewer gave positive feedback?

After the fifth reviewer rejected the manuscript, the status has been stagnant for 9 days. Has the associate editor given up on handling it?

I have invited five reviewers in a row, all of them declined. It's not easy to find reviewers for APL.

It has been two months since submission, and the second reviewer has not been found. Since the last reviewer declined to review, the status has been stagnant for 8 days. Can anyone who has encountered this situation offer any advice?
