Do any of you know the editorial speed of Zookeys recently? I submitted a paper on October 1st last year, and 2 days later the status changed to "Invite reviewer." Until mid-January, it changed to "waiting editor's decision," and I have not received any review comments yet. I remember the speed used to be very fast, and I'm anxious! Has anyone else encountered the same situation as me?

The editor changed quite frequently, but fortunately, I persisted until the end.

The processing speed is quite fast, it was sent for review immediately after submission. Compared to other journals, the efficiency is still very high.

If we could just cite species names every time, we wouldn't have to suffer in the bottom-tier Zone 4 with low scores. Now, everyone is doing classification research, and only articles published through systematic studies can make it to the top (many universities only look at Zone 2 and above). We all wasted our efforts on traditional classification research, sigh

I had a paper accepted this year. The editor-in-chief and the deputy editor are both very kind and professional, and the review was done rigorously. The reviewer they found for my paper was a well-known European expert in my field. This is very good at electronization of the journal, which helps the rapid and widespread dissemination of information. People in animal or insect studies can try this journal.

The reviewer they found for me was a big shot in the field in Europe. The journal is characterized by its excellent electronic journalization, facilitating rapid and wide dissemination of information. Those studying animals or insects may consider submitting here
