The speed is extremely slow, and some reviewers are extremely irresponsible.

Submission in October 2021
Three major revisions by reviewers 1-3 in March 2022
Revised in April 2022
Minor revision in February 2023 (accepted by reviewer 3, reviewers 4-5 with minor revisions, reviewers 1-2 are nowhere to be found)
Major revision in June 2023 (accepted by reviewers 3-4, reviewer 5 is nowhere to be found, a new reviewer 6 rejects the submission)

Reviewer 6 said that this whole category of methods is not valid. To be honest, I don't even want to make any more changes, submitting is too frustrating.

2023.6.14 Awaiting AE Recommendation

This sentence appears to be a date followed by a phrase. In English, it can be translated as "Awaiting AE Recommendation" which suggests that someone is waiting for a recommendation or decision from someone referred to as "AE."

The first trial time is too long.

I have also been submitting for over three months, and still in the process of assigning reviewers.

muxinting 2023-06-12

It has been three months since the submission, but the reviewers have not been assigned yet. The status keeps switching between "awaiting reviewer assignment" and "under review."

Overall, the efficiency is relatively low. It took me almost two years to complete the basic review, luckily I am not a graduate student waiting to graduate. If a doctoral or master's degree relies on this for graduation, one should be more cautious.

The first review took four months, with fluctuating feedback. Surprisingly, there were six reviewers in the final review. One accepted it directly, four suggested major revisions, and one rejected it. The editor rejected it directly. In this situation, I would like to ask if there is a high possibility of acceptance if I resubmit the revised version or argue with the editor. Has anyone had this experience?

zbyu 2023-06-12

The feedback is still of good quality, but the speed is unusually slow. It has been six months and it is still "Awaiting Reviewer Scores". I have sent three emails to the editor, and the first time, the editor gave a vague reply, saying that it is still under review and we have to wait. There have been no replies for the second and third times.

zhyun 2023-06-08

It may be because there are conflicting opinions in the current review or the editor believes that there are too few current review opinions. As a result, new reviewers are invited.

lhh!!! 2023-06-04

Has anyone encountered such a situation? It started with "awaiting reviewer scores" for about a month, then changed to "awaiting AE recommendation" for about 25 days. After that, it became "awaiting EIC decision" along with another "awaiting reviewer scores," which has been going on for about a week now. How can these two statuses appear simultaneously? Why do we have to wait for reviewer scores during the editor-in-chief's decision stage?

It has been two and a half months and it has not been submitted for review yet.

PR@Sun 2023-05-26

Hello, I have also received two revisions and one rejection. After making the necessary changes, if I resubmit, will it be considered a new manuscript?

huangtao 2023-05-23

I am too, still awaiting AE assignment for over a month.

PR@Sun 2023-05-20

Waiting for AE's recommendation... It has been 25 days.

NerdFNY 2023-05-18

It has been one and a half months. It has been Awaiting AE Assignment all along. Is it because the reviewer or the associate editor cannot be found for assignment?

Nico_ER 2023-05-17

Is there any result now, or are we still waiting for the reviewer to return with their comments?

Good luck, it has been half a year, finally arrived at awaiting AE recommendation.

liuaoyu 2023-05-05

Too slow, it's been 4 months and they are still assigning reviewers.

This journal is too slow. I have submitted it for two months and still haven't been assigned a deputy editor.

hj0125 2023-04-17

What was the final result, I am also in this situation.

hj0125 2023-04-17

I have been waiting for two months for the second review of my thesis, but it is still in the reviewer assignment stage. Was your thesis finally accepted?

雾里看花 2023-04-10

Received the first-round comments on the paper: revise and resubmit within three months.

TC_Good 2023-04-03

I submitted the article in early July 2022 and it wasn't assigned a reviewer until January of this year. Currently, it has been in the "awaiting reviewer scores" stage for over three months. This journal is incredibly unreasonable, the process is just too slow.

人形永动机 2023-03-25

@dandan20210817 That's great, good luck!
