In our newest “how can we help you?” thread, a reader asks:
Is it normal/considered acceptable to get a revise-and-resubmit based on one referee report, and then get rejected based on a completely new report, with no sign of the original reviewer? I am kind of a compulsive manuscript status checker — bad habit, I know — and the thing went back “under review” within like 4 or 5 days after I submitted the revisions, so I’m somewhat skeptical there was a failed effort made to reconnect with the original reviewer, but suspect they immediately went for a new eye. The whole process took 14 months, pretty depressing…
What do readers think?
