[交流] 一篇投稿Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A的漫长等待

今年1月7号投文章到Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A，
1月8号文章status变为“under consideration”，
3个月后仍不见消息，就给编辑发了封催稿信，编辑告诉我key reader没有回音，他一直在email他赶快给出审稿意见。
再过1个月后，仍不见文章的消息，我又发了封催稿信，编辑告诉我那个key reader 失踪了，我晕

。编辑说他再找另外的key reader给我审。
又过了3个月，我第三次发催稿信。编辑告诉我，现在找的这个key reader一直没有回复，老天啦，什么倒霉事情都让我给碰上了，我狂汗

。
这样到了9月份，我第四次发催稿信，编辑告诉我key reader已经作了决定了，听到这个消息，我很高兴，现在也不想去担心文章被枪毙不枪毙，只是想立即要一个结果。
苦苦等了一个月还是没有消息，心里很不爽

，于是第五次写催稿信，打算撤稿了。
今天打开邮箱看到了编辑给的决定
