Other Submission to Classical and Quantum Gravity: Awaiting Decision After 1 Month

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the submission process for the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity. After one month of "awaiting referee reports," the paper transitioned to "awaiting decision" for two weeks. Participants concluded that a delay in the decision-making process is typical and does not indicate any issues with the submission. Authors are advised to remain patient and continue working on other projects during this waiting period.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of academic paper submission processes
  • Familiarity with journal review timelines
  • Knowledge of the Classical and Quantum Gravity journal
  • Experience with managing multiple research projects
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the typical timelines for peer review in academic publishing
  • Learn about the editorial decision-making process in scientific journals
  • Explore strategies for managing research projects during submission waits
  • Investigate common reasons for delays in academic paper reviews
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, academic authors, and graduate students involved in publishing papers in scientific journals, particularly those submitting to Classical and Quantum Gravity.

I submitt a paper to journal Classical and Quantum Gravity.

The status "awaiting referee reports" lasted one mont.

However, now , the paper is on status "awaiting decision" two weaks up to now. Is a ill signal the delayed on the status "awaiting decision"?

I doesn't mean anything. Two weeks with the editors is not unusual.
It could simply be that the person who has this on his/her desk is too busy, on holiday, ill etc etc.

These things do take time; a few months between submission to final acceptance is nothing unusual.
 
Anything less than 6 months sounds normal in my experience.
 
There's no point in trying to read anything into something like this. The paper is awaiting a decision. Work on something else in the meantime.
