Submitted at the beginning of November, the 13th showed external review, and an email was sent on April 12th inquiring about it. The reply email said that the editorial contact could not be reached and a new editor-in-chief was needed, and the external review was not even sent. Feeling frustrated, I had another article accepted in the 2nd zone at the end of November, and this one has been waiting for over five months without even going through external review. It was later understood that this situation is common in BMC journals, but I regretted knowing this too late

Rejected after three repairs? That's really too much

Received revision email on January 23rd, with some important questions to address. The editor requested revisions to be made within 2 weeks, and I have completed them

Experience sharing: submitted a water article on February 4th, started peer review on February 15th after technical amendments, and was ready for editor decision on October 28th; the editor may have disappeared, and the status was changed to editor appointed on December 14th, so it seems a new editor took over. Waiting for the results

I submitted my application on October 22nd last year, but there has been no response so far. The official website is still inaccessible. It's really annoying

Are you considering withdrawing the submission? I don't even know how to withdraw it now, I'm afraid of submitting it to multiple journals again

Review speed: 12.0 Experience sharing: Submitted in October last year, now it's March, and I have no idea about the status of the manuscript. It's been half a year since submission, and there have been no review comments or updates on the status of the manuscript. I will never touch this trashy journal again in my life

Where can I withdraw the submission? I have been waiting for a long time and the magazine's email rejecting my successful submission, saying it cannot be sent

Where can I submit a withdrawal letter? I've been waiting for 3 months and it's still under editorial review. I want to withdraw the submission, but the email address provided is said to be temporary

Emphasized research direction: case report; Parathyroid sharing experience: Submitted in June, reviews received in September, no news then after urging for review, rejected in 6 days, one reviewer only said it lacked novelty, the second reviewer gave over ten very insightful comments. Overall, it was just too slow and frustrating

My editor used to be assigned pretty quickly back then, but now that I have feedback, my editor is suddenly gone

Heavy research focus: endocrine and metabolic diseases
Experience sharing: It’s really a pain. Submitted in July, received first review comments in September and waited for the editorial decision. Then they said they wanted to discuss, but the handling editor couldn't be reached. There has been no response so far, just waiting

I'm wondering how long the review process for this magazine usually takes. It's been a month or two since I submitted my article. Is it still under editorial assessment?

Submission requires registration with the corresponding author's account. Individual registrations cannot be used for submissions

What are you up to now? Have you accepted it?

First time submission, I would like to ask, is it necessary to register the account using the information of the corresponding author? After registering with my own account, the author editing position shows that I am the corresponding author by default. Also, in the same author editing position, when filling in the email information, I entered the email of the registered account and it showed that it was input incorrectly. Have any of you encountered these two situations? If you have similar situations, please kindly provide some guidance

Please check the status of the manuscript by visiting the corresponding author's email

I am not the corresponding author. After submitting the manuscript, the system notification said that I need to wait for the PDF to be generated and sent to the corresponding author's email for approval before submission. However, when I check the submission status later, it shows empty. Is this normal?

Review speed: 1.0 | Submission hit rate: 25.0 Emphasis research areas: endocrinology and metabolic diseases; medical statistics; clinical experience sharing: a very pleasant submission experience, initially suggested for transfer from a 4-point journal, agreed to transfer to this magazine, submitted on 5.4, major revisions on 5.24 (two reviewers, with more than 30 comments in total, all very insightful comments), returned in early June, accepted on 6.28. Very limited number of publications, only 200 per year, but the page fee is expensive. It hurts

5.4 Rejected by other magazines, suggested to submit to this one. Agreed to submit, first review comments on 5.24, return for revisions in early June, accepted on 6.28. Overall, it's pretty good, with a low publication volume of around 200. The only problem is that the page fee is too expensive, a common issue in the BMC series!

200 articles in a year, not bad, right?
