Rebuttal sent but no response from journal
It's normal to respond to the first rebuttal. If that interaction turns out to be unproductive, then they might stop responding. The exception is if your rebuttal itself is unproductive, e.g. if it ...

Rebuttal sent but no response from journal
From the point of view of the journal, the case is closed with their rejection. Of course it would be a decent thing to respond to your rebuttal, but they are under no obligation to do this, or ...

Do I need to disclose that a manuscript has been rejected from another journal in my cover letter?
The comments already give you a short answer. But no, you do not need to let them know you were rejected elsewhere. You are correct that they are asking about simultaneous submissions, which is a ...

Rebuttal sent but no response from journal
Sounds like a broken journal.
Do you know who handled your paper? Usually it is not the editor-in-chief but someone else from the editorial board.

Rebuttal sent but no response from journal
You could inquire about the status and if there is any possibility of a change. But don't expect much.
You would do better to find another journal and submit it there.
But waiting is probably going to ...

Why are journals so pesky about partial submissions?
I'll add one more speculation to the mix.
Paper submission is supposed to be a straightforward process*: you provide a copy of the manuscript and some metadata (title, authors, keywords, ...), suggest ...

Why are journals so pesky about partial submissions?
This is almost certainly an auto-generated email. The system is probably set up to automatically delete inactive submissions after some time. I'm sure that no-one is actually checking or interacting ...

Why are journals so pesky about partial submissions?
Some ideas:
As a commenter suggested, they may be worried that they'll be blamed for an incomplete submission and want to avoid errors and not leave any possibility that someone thinks their paper is ...

There is no "right" number of citations for a paper, only the number that you need in order to appropriately position the paper with respect to its background.
There is especially little ...

What is a reviewer integrity check in this particular context?
Hindawi and high quality haven't really gone together the past. My assumption (since they were relatively recently absorbed by Wiley) is that there is some effort to clean up the portfolio. It doesn't ...

Should I provide trademarks/real names in my scientific paper?
In general, use whatever names are necessary to clearly present your results. Whatever you end up using, you should include all the details (brand name, manufacturer, lot number, etc...) in your ...

Should I provide trademarks/real names in my scientific paper?
It is perfectly fine to use trademarks in publications.
I would argue that if you compare those, you should include their names or brands etc. This is important for the reproducibility of the study.
I ...

My name was published on abstract but my name was not published on the final manuscript?
If it was the journal that made an error then they can correct it, and you can ask. But that seems very unlikely. It is more likely that the PI that submitted the paper made a change in the text of ...

Assume it's a mistake and ask the editor what happened.
If it's not a mistake ... then, well, cross that bridge when you get there.

Given the information you provided, I think that the integrity check and the message itself does not have any connection to you discovery.

"Decision in process" after the median number of days from submission meaning
If the median is 10 days, that means that half of decisions take longer than that.
Plus, among the half of decisions that get taken in 10 days or less are presumably all the desk rejections that ...

When is it useful to wait for the resubmission of a revised manuscript?
For most journals this would waste time for nothing, because they'll wait for the original reviewers, even if they have to wait months.
The exception is if you're dealing with an MDPI journal, which ...

High similarity index on turntin
I don't see how any of us can say. Maybe you stole it from a student at a Texas university. Maybe they stole it from you. Maybe a glitch. Maybe the conference will use a plagiarism checker like the ...

As Nobody writes, waiting in this particular situation can go either way. Maybe you get assigned new reviewers, who may be (a) even tougher than the old ones, or (b) are not necessarily tougher, but ...

On the merit of text-to-speech system during manuscript writing

Why is manuscript review in mathematics taking so long (over 8 months)?
The scientific reasons above aside, in my view it takes long also as it is a voluntary job with no credit or immediate gain so it gets deprioritised. In many cases the long wait is waiting for a ...
