This webpage does not recognize uppercase and lowercase English characters, so it is slightly modified. In order to gather some luck, I will share you the difference between the two statuses (Under review and Under Review) after the submission of IoT Journal. The lowercase “review” indicates that the article is under external review, and the uppercase “Review” indicates that AE or the editorial office can handle the article at this period. Therefore, your article shows Under Review when you first submit it, and it will become Under review after the actual external review starts (It takes a long time for the IoT editorial office to assign AE, and it is estimated that the status will change after three weeks). If it changes to Under Review after a while, the high probability of triggering this change is that the time for reviewers that given by AE is up, and not all the reviewers have yet submitted their comments, but the number of submitted comments can theoretically be enough for AE to make a decision, that is, no less than two reviewers sent back their comments. For reference only, everyone can also verify it.

My submission on June 3rd went through one round of review and revision, but it hasn't been sent for approval yet. It's taking too long.

Could you please confirm if the status has been "Under Review" since submission, does it mean it hasn't been sent for review?

(0) Thank | Jh_SCUT

Could you please confirm if the status "Under Review" means the article is still in the hands of the editor and has not been sent for approval yet?
