Drawn back before first editorial decision after 335.0 days
Drawn back
2019
Motivation:
I contacted the editor and co-editors many times but they did not reply. After 7 months from the submission, the manuscript was in a virtual drawer without any consideration. After that I asked some updated news, a co-editor asked me not to withdraw the manuscript. After 11 months from the submission and many attempts to receive some information about the status of my manuscript, again I didn't receive any reply so I withdraw the manuscript and I Lost 11 months. I want to share this experience with other researchers, so they will know what they can receive back. Springer apologized for my very bad experience and the Springer support delegate was very supportive even if nothing could be done against the lack of communication from the editor and co-editors
