A recent submission to the journal X, a Springer journal has made me get a sense of of how the way my Ms has been progressing through the Editorial Manager. Even though my R3!!! has not been easy for me, reviewers, and editors, I appreciate their patience, constructive comments, and insightful feedback on the issues in my Ms.
Long story short, my R3 has been successfully submitted and I am waiting for the journal editor's decision on my Ms (Oh now it's under review as of Mar 7,10, and 11 2014). Even though it is the hardest part for a junior researcher like me to wait for the journal's decision, it may be a kind of the required learning process (especially for a junior researcher) regardless of whether my Ms is accepted or not.
I really hope that this post makes someone get a sense of how his or her Ms. will be processing through the Editorial Manager (EM).
Finger crossed!
