Let me share the timeline with everyone:
February 17, 2023 - Uploaded
March 11, 2023 - Invited for editing
March 14, 2023 - Submitted for review
March 22, 2023 - Major revision
March 28, 2023 - Revised
March 30, 2023 - Submitted for review again
July 5, 2023 - Minor revision (took longer due to one reviewer becoming unavailable and needing to invite a new reviewer), not many comments, revised on the same day.

No wonder, mine is the same. I paid at the end of April, but it's still not online. I have sent several emails to the editor, but got no response.

LiuDehua 2023-07-10

I can't handle emails at all. I sent several emails and only then found out that the editor was on a long vacation. I didn't receive any replies to the emails either.

DDDSAD 2023-07-10

Can I ask how long the editor usually works?

LiuDehua 2023-07-09

The editor is on summer vacation.

DDDSAD 2023-07-08

Last month, I officially received it in the beginning. I paid the fee a few days later, but until now, they still haven't told me how long it will take to be published. Is this normal? They didn't reply to my email either.

James LI 2023-07-07

It has been 2 months since being employed, but there is still no online access. Emailing also hasn't received any response.

xxxt 2023-07-06

Still at UR, said it was transferred to a more professional editor. Not responding to any inquiries.

Help! The editor said there is a copyright issue with the map in the article and it needs to be replaced with an open-source map. Should I just indicate that the map is from an open-source map website, or do I also need to change the actual map?

LiuDehua 2023-07-04

The editor might be on summer vacation, even if urged, they don't reply.

LiuDehua 2023-07-04

Did they actually take a vacation? Such a big journal actually has a long holiday?

LiuDehua 2023-07-03

According to the payment made by the invoice, the publication should have been released a long time ago. I don't know if the person in charge is on vacation, but there has been no news for over a month.

虎屋 2023-06-30

Can you please confirm if I can send the reminder email to this email address plosone@plos.org?

虎屋 2023-06-30

May I ask if I should send the reminder message to this email address: plosone@plos.org?

虎屋 2023-06-30

Excuse me, is this the email address to send the manuscript submission reminder to plosone@plos.org?

heisenbergbao 2023-06-29

Submitted in April, after a month with the editor, sent a reminder letter, and the next day it quickly changed to "under review." It has been almost two months now, so if you are in a hurry to submit, I do not recommend it as it is too slow.

QDrY 2023-06-28

Do you have a receipt?

LiuDehua 2023-06-27

This journal has too many detailed requirements, which the average person cannot handle. Before paying the money, they would reply to your email the next day. But after paying the money, there is no response at all. It's like leaving it to fate.

Merry522 2023-06-26

Prepare to submit to PLOS ONE, and exchange experiences with fellow colleagues.

南方啊姑娘 2023-06-24

I haven't asked for payment since I hired you, have you paid?

maro 2023-06-24

Sorry, I dialed the wrong number. I still couldn't find it online.

maro 2023-06-24

Received formal acceptance on April 6th, but have not received any payment notification until now. The online platform is also the same, and no one has replied to my emails. Is anyone else in the same situation?

南方小镇 2023-06-23

May I ask, for some reasons, is it better to explain directly in the cover letter or in the paper itself that the source code cannot be provided?

酸枣 2023-06-22

Hello, may I ask if this is regarding the progress of the email inquiry?

熊大 2023-06-21

Are there any buddies who have submitted to this journal?

xxxt 2023-06-17

It has been a month, and still saying that the reviewer was not found.

大伟111 2023-06-15

Just reject my submission directly. It makes me so angry.

大伟111 2023-06-15

Received comments from two reviewers, one recommended acceptance and the other recommended minor revisions. After months of submission and revisions, finally reached the last step. Stupid Hanna Landenmark, she is one of their editorial board members.
