Adelaide9216 Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Okay, well...in September, I have submitted a paper to an academic journal as a first-author. Not the most prestigious journal, but a good journal for someone who had just finished her master's degree. The person of the journal said they would get back to me with a decision (accepted, rejected, etc.) on December 16th. I have never heard back from them. Should I email them? Is there a chance that they may have forgotten about me?
PokePsych Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 email - and probably some reviewer was late or something. It's fine to inquiry particularly if they have given you a time. Adelaide9216 1
Adelaide9216 Posted January 10, 2020 Author Posted January 10, 2020 They responded back. They apologized for the delay, but will review my paper by April now ? Wow it's quite long. I have to get used to this. Suraj_S 1

Wow it's quite long. I have to get used to this. It takes a very long time to get something published. This is why you should start as early as possible. If you can submit a second (different) paper somewhere else, you should do that, too.
Adelaide9216 Posted July 8, 2021 Author Posted July 8, 2021 This paper did not get accepted. I took it back and managed to produce an entire new draft that I'm prouder of.
