I log into the journal’s website, enter my credentials, and navigate to the Submissions Being Processed tab. It’s been three weeks, and my manuscript’s status hasn’t changed. Undergoing Initial Checking. Again. And again. I sigh and close the tab. But, of course, I’ll check again tomorrow.

Now, every time my submission lingers in editorial limbo, a familiar sense of unease creeps in: What if it happens again?
