Hi all,
Interested in your opinion on when to pull a journal article - when you're getting no response from the journal - 10 months? 11 months - which is when you give a polite ultimatum to the journal?
Thanks

Post by similar position on Apr 19, 2016 18:20:46 GMT -5
I'm in a similar position right now. submitted in late 2015 and still in "awaiting reviewer selection" mode. I reached out to (special) editors and they are working to turn it around. the question is: how quickly do you need the pub? if you are coming up for review or going on the job market this upcoming cycle, it might be worth it to pull and submit elsewhere (but let the editors know if this is the plan as that might nudge them). if you have other stuff going on and pieces in the publication process elsewhere, i would suggest waiting it out. But if it has been 3-4 months and you haven't heard anything, it is ok to check in with editors or admin to see where things are in the process.

I submitted a review a couple of weeks ago for a paper that had been in my queue for a couple of weeks, and it is still listed as "Awaiting Reviewer Selection". Some or all of the reviews could be in. |
