REVIEWS IN ENDOCRINE & METABOLIC DISORDERS

This journal does not accept unsolicited submissions. Before submitting, we sent an email to the editor inquiring if they were interested. The chief editor replied that it was suitable for publication in this magazine. After submitting for over 5 months, the reviewer's comments stated that it required major revisions and only gave us 12 days to do so. The reviewer highly appreciated our work but asked for additional comments, and the editor asked us to add more focused content. After carefully revising according to the reviewer's comments, we resubmitted and within a week, we were trying to contact the responsible editor. On the 8th day, they directly rejected our submission without sending it for reviewer evaluation. The reason for rejection was that it was not in the magazine's future publishing plans. It is simply unbelievable, and they ignored our appeal. We have blacklisted this journal!
