PhD Student Slams TMLR's Slow Turnaround: 2+ Months of Silence After Revision
Fantastic-Nerve-4056 · reddit · 2026-09-11
A final-year PhD student is publicly venting about TMLR's increasingly slow review process.
- A solo-authored submission received on-time, highly positive reviews with minor revisions
- After submitting the revision, reviewers went silent for over 2 months; only one acknowledged the concerns were addressed
- Reminders to the Action Editor and Editor-in-Chief went unanswered
- The author had chosen TMLR specifically for its speed, hoping to bolster a postdoc application that's now deadline-pressed
The post highlights a growing gap between TMLR's fast-publication promise and its actual operations.
