Generally speaking, the length of review time is not directly related to whether it is rejected or not. The review time is generally determined by the level and efficiency of the journal, and whether to reject the manuscript is determined by the quality and value of the article itself. The longer the manuscript is reviewed, the greater the possibility of rejection, and there is no correlation. The higher the periodical level, the stricter the review of articles and the longer the corresponding review time. On the contrary, the review time will not be long. From the comparison of the review time between core journals and general journals, it can be seen that the main reason for the long publication period of high-level journals is that the review period is longer, the magazine has its own work rhythm and arrangement, and some links may need more time, and the review time will be longer.

The review cycle of papers is related to publishing channels and journal level. If you contribute by yourself, the periodical cycle at any level is not short. If you contribute to a general journal, it is a non-core journal, and the review period is generally around 1-2 months. If it is a core journal, it will take about 2-4 months. If it is SCI, 3-6 months is normal. So generally speaking, if there is no news within three months after submission, you can consider investing in other journals.

We must pay attention here, don't contribute more than one manuscript in order to save time, because this is academic misconduct. Some people may think that I just want to be safer. I advise you not to do this! Because some authors have done this before, a paper was submitted to two journals at the same time.

Later, both companies issued employment notices. He thought that only one of them would withdraw the manuscript, but he was naive. It's not as easy as it sounds. He thought he could hide the truth, so he didn't think much. Do you think there is no communication between them and editors of periodicals in the same industry, field and level? I don't know anyone at all. This kind of thing can't be hidden. Later, both journals withdrew his papers and blacklisted them. It is difficult for him to publish another paper in the future. Everyone must pay attention to how serious this consequence is.

Some authors worry that if I have to wait so long to submit my own articles and only contribute to one journal, will it be easier to be rejected if I wait so long? To be sure, these two things are not necessarily related. Editors and reviewers have their own processes, which will be executed in sequence. Some will tell them that they can't pass, and some won't. It basically takes three months to find out.
