Is it normal that the AE has not been allocated yet for the 4.19 submission?

May I ask how long have you been assigned as AE?

It took 10 months, with three reviewers for the initial submission, but one reviewer disappeared during the second round of review. Two new reviewers were found, resulting in a total of 52 comments. Luckily, the manuscript was finally accepted.

Initial Submission: 6/30/2024
Major Revision: 2/5/2025
Minor Revision: 3/15/2025
Accepted: 4/5/2025

The manuscript was submitted on April 3rd (the first AE took almost two months to review, probably didn't understand my paper, then switched to another AE).
The first review was completed on September 24th (I sent a reminder email after four months, and the AE said they would urge the reviewers. One month later, I received the review comments: both reviewers had positive feedback, suggesting to streamline the content and make some revisions to the figures, and finally the AE gave a major revision period of two months).
The revised manuscript was resubmitted on October 14th.
It was accepted on January 6th (a few days before acceptance, I sent a reminder email again, and the AE said the decision had been submitted, just wait for it).

Contribute a timeline:
Submitted on May 23
Received major revision on August 29, with one reviewer recommending rejection and resubmission, and the other three suggesting major revisions. The editor gave two months for the revisions.
Submitted major revision on October 29
Accepted on December 29
I think it was quite fast, with each stage taking about 2-3 months.

Can I see the name of the assigned editor, please?

How long does it take to change status? The status has been "AE: Not Assigned" all along.

The first review rejected the resubmission after three months, the first reviewer had no problem, the second reviewer had some minor issues, and the third reviewer suddenly said there was no innovation. The opinions were quite positive during the first review, but in the end, the editor rejected it. Rejected consecutively by TII, IOTJ, and TNSM, I don't know if I can get accepted before graduating with a master's degree.

I haven't been assigned AE for a month either, which is very strange.

(0) Thank | 晓峰

Is it normal not to allocate AE for a month? Do I need to take any further action after submitting?

(0) Thank | sh0wm4kert

Has the status of this journal always been "under review" since I was assigned as AE? It hasn't changed for two months.

If the correct corresponding author is specified in the manuscript, it is best to communicate with the editor, usually informing you that the corresponding author can be corrected during the proof stage

Hello, what would happen if I submit a manuscript without using the corresponding author's email address? I'm a bit nervous

2023.04 Submission
2023.07 Rejection and resubmission. Five reviewers, one of whom harshly criticized the work and identified issues with the basic methodology. Half of the theoretical and experimental parts were almost completely rewritten during the revision process, making me want to tear my hair out, but the quality of the manuscript did indeed improve.
2023.09 Resubmission
2023.12 Acceptance. Two reviewers, who were not very engaged, could not be reached. The critical reviewer gave an affirmative decision, resulting in acceptance

AE allocated on 2023.9.7.
The first review was rejected on 2023.10.27. The comments from the three reviewers were quite general, mainly pointing out that there were missing references in the related work section, the baseline lacked state-of-the-art information, and one of the experimental datasets was not suitable. There were no comments on the method itself. I feel that the reviewers' comments were of limited help to me. Sigh
