Am I seriously not going to publish this paper because some fucking German IT staff coded a page to redirect at 12AM instead of 11:59 PM????????????????????
I mean…it seems rather silly to reject a response because it was submitted on the right day but not at 12AM doesnt it? Especially when that specific time wasn’t mentioned in the email regarding the deadline and we actually submitted a day early relative to our own time zone, which is 9 hours behind. We would’ve been fine if we had submitted at the exact same time of day just in New York rather then a West Coast city. Seems rather arbitrary when only a day was given as the deadline and not an exact time. Right? Either way I’m not going to know until next Wednesday because Germans get April 30th and May 1st off apparently. 😖
I got a reply back from the editor I was in contact with and he said he was sorry it happened and hopefully everything will sort out.
