I would like to ask how to check how many reviewers have agreed to review the manuscript?

鸟生鱼汤 2023-03-07

Submitted to a neuroscience journal, the editor considered the research direction to be extremely niche and suggested submitting to a general journal instead. It took a month, and out of the 4 reviewers, 3 were still awaiting acceptance invitations. As a result, the manuscript was urged for feedback. Currently, two opinions have been received, with a high probability of requiring major revisions.

Hello, this journal does not have any template requirements or word count limitations. When I resubmitted, I uploaded the necessary Word files along with the Response to Reviewers document.

Hey buddy, I also got rejected by another journal. I'm considering submitting to this journal you suggested. I wanted to ask if this journal has a Word template? I checked the journal's website, and it seems like there isn't a template. So, can I just submit the revised manuscript in Word format along with the response? I'm seeking your advice on this and eagerly awaiting your reply.

For reference only:
transfer
11.15 1st revision (editor requested additional data)
11.19 submission
11.20 editor
11.21 under review
11.27 under review

During the process, two times review complete (speculated that there were four reviewers, but when two reviewers returned, it was already DIP, so the editor acted as one reviewer, totaling 3)
January 5th: With editor, under review
January 8th: under review, accept 2
January 15th: RRC1
January 24th: RRC1 (but the system still shows UR)
January 25th: DIP
January 29th: Accept in Principle
February 1st: returned on the same day with minor revisions
February 3rd: DIP
February 21st: accepted, several revisions during the process, final acceptance took about 1 week

Hello, may I ask how long does it usually take for "decision in process" to become "general acceptance"?

May I ask how long it will take to receive the proof after accepting it?

微微微 2023-02-24

How long does it usually take for "decision in process" to be changed to "accepted"?

The editor and reviewers are very conscientious, their opinions are targeted and constructive. Looking forward to the continuous improvement of this journal!

Requested a manuscript, sent a 50% discount coupon, and submitted a pure bioinformatics article.
November 16, 2022: Submitted.
December 2022: External review, three reviewers in total were found.
January 2023: First round of revisions, editor provided minor revisions.
February 14, 2023: Second round of revisions (formatting, language polishing, etc.).
February 18, 2023: Revised.
February 22, 2023: Accepted.
Overall speed was neither fast nor slow, which is acceptable.

I also want to know if it's worth investing.

I want to ask, how do I withdraw a submission?

The second trial is too slow!!! I'm speechless.

Send to reviewers, whether accepted or not, the longest time for Heliyon is 3 weeks. Additionally, you can contact the support team online through this link to request them to write a reminder email or inquire about the progress. It is faster than writing an email within the system.

I urged and sent the manuscript to the editor for review again, feeling really anxious waiting.

hujl863 2023-02-15

The article was submitted to the journal Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, but after being rejected, it was recommended to submit to Heliyon. The submission file included a nearly 20-page response letter addressing the reviewers' comments. Two days later, the manuscript was returned for modifications regarding the authors' email format. After waiting for 20 days, the status finally changed to "With Editor." After another 20 days of waiting, the status changed to "decision in process." At that time, I was quite worried, but unexpectedly, after waiting for another 20 days, I suddenly received an acceptance in principle. Surprisingly, the article did not go through external review; the editor directly reviewed it and accepted it based on its merits. The whole process, from submission to formal acceptance, took a total of two months. I am grateful to Naiwen Zhang, the editor at Heliyon.

Expedite manuscript, if necessary, the editor will act as a reviewer for the review process. However, this journal itself is slow, it takes 10 months for one article and 6 months for another, and the process is not yet complete.

Slow review, slow retrieval, cautiously invest when eager to graduate.

goooood 2023-02-14

Good journal, except it's a bit slow.

I have not received the proof link and payment link.

微微微 2023-02-12

Will I be rejected if I push for it again? What should I do? Can any experts give me some advice?

微微微 2023-02-12

It has been six months since the second review, what should I do? I am eager to graduate. I sent an email to the editor and mentioned that the two received review comments are contradictory. I need a third reviewer. Does that mean I can only wait?

晚星lynnnn 2023-02-09

It has been two months of external review, always under review, and the dates keep changing. I don't know what's going on...

ruiruiruirui 2023-02-08

I sent an email and asked. They said that the editor-in-chief has been replaced, and the new editor-in-chief is busy dealing with the previous editor-in-chief's mess, so it's taking a long time. My decision is still in process for 20 days.

keyanzhazha8548 2023-02-08

I also have been in the "under review" status for a month, what does this mean?

QAZW 2023-02-04

How long after accepting will I receive the proof, and when do I need to pay the fees? Thank you for answering.

磨损的齿轮 2023-02-02

How long after being hired will it be online?

QAZW 2023-01-31

May I ask how long it took for you from "Decision in process" to "Accept"?
