Respected RG members,
Some journals do not respond to certain manuscript submissions, or they keep the submitted manuscript in the review process for long periods of time, has anyone faced such a situation? And what to do in this case?
Thanks in advance!
I had such a situation. After a few unanswered emails, I just wrote an email that I am withdrawing my publication. And I submitted it to another journal.
Thank you so much Rajlakshmi Kanjilal
and Roman Lewandowski for sharing your experience and for the suggestionRajlakshmi Kanjilal
, and good luck with your publications!
We also face difficulties about the journal to which we have submitted research paper , did not reply . In such cases you have to send the reminders twice or convey editor that if you do not receive reply, we may be allowed to send the same paper to some other journal for publication.
Madhukar Baburao Deshmukh, yes you are right, thank you for your contribution, but suppose the journal replied that the article is still in review (exceeding 4 months in this stage) what is the best thing to do in this case?
Just black list the journal and never submit to that venue in future
Bayu Ardiansah, yes indeed, thank you so much for enriching this discussion.
Sanaa N Al- Haj Ali You are right, the time depends on the reviewing process of the journal, some times it takes more than a year to get the decision of the editor. Usually, if one reviewer recommended to be rejected and the other one recommended to be accepted, the editor sends the manuscript to a third reviewer and in this case it will take double time to get the decision.
