Dear all,
I sent an article to the Journal of Physical Education and Sport (JPES) a few months ago, and I have been trying to contact them on a numerous occasions since then on whether they received my article. I sent them emails, multiple times, asking for any confirmation whether they will review the article or not, so I can submit it to another journal. There was no answer whatsoever.
I called every phone of their Editorial office many times (shown on their website), and although I was charged because of the voicemail/fax answer machine, no body picked up the phone.
I asked a colleague of mine (researcher from Romania) to contact them, and he also called them many times during the last week and nobody answered.
I wrote to them on their Facebook page as well, but it seems that nobody has seen this message at all.
I was wondering whether you have had any experience with this journal and whether is normal not to receive any email and confirmation on whether they received your article for more than 2 months?
Thank you for your time,
Stefan

Vadim Erlikh Perhaps, we should withdrew our manuscripts... it has been 2 months of waiting for a respond whether they received the article.
Stefan Kolimechkov We have sent one article to this journal, but there was no answer for 4 months, and then they published the article.
Vadim Erlikh That sounds incredible... Did they contact you before they accepted and published the article? They must have contacted you first in order to receive their payment, right?
Yes, before the publication of the article from the journal came the invoice
