If a paper was considered insufficiently novel or interesting to merit high-profile publication, we are unlikely to reconsider simply because the authors disagree. How to write an email to the editor inquiring about the current status of my paper? Because it was sitting in my barn / shop for over 12 years!! For our last submission the decision took 25 days for which the editor apologized. Dont infer anything from unavailable data. In cases where authors opt in to publication of peer reviewer comments and reviewers opt in to being named, we will not link a reviewers name to their report unless they choose to sign their comments to the author with their name.
