Has anyone else experienced incredibly long first decision times from Archives? I submitted a brief report to them in July 2025 and still haven't heard back despite reaching out to the editor several times...two reviewers accepted my manuscript for peer-review several months ago but I've heard absolutely nothing ever since. I'm a rising M4 and really need this project to be accepted before the ERAS deadline. Should I cut my losses and look elsewhere?
