Relying to the one downstairs. The impact fact of this year is about 4.15 (the total number of articles in 2017 and 2018 is 115, and the citation number is 478; that is, 478/115 = 4.156); the impact factor has not dropped. The impact factor of 2019 only counts the number of articles in 2017 and 2018 and its citations, but has nothing to do with the number of articles in 2019. The newest impact factor of 2019 will be released on tomorrow (2020-06-29) at 6 P.M. If you don't believe it, check it yourself. However, this year's citation score (CiteScore) calculation rules have changed. It uses the calculated value of 4 years as the latest citation score, that is, the number of articles in 2016–2019 and the corresponding number of citations. At the same time, the increase in the number of manuscripts in 19 years is mainly due to the increase in the articles, but the articles are not cited greatly. Therefore, the final citation score of 2019 is only 2.3, but this does not affect the impact factor. The citation score will rise next year.

The submission history is as follows: 02.10.2020, with journal; 02.11.2020, with editor. I waited for a month, but didn’t received any news. I urged once and changed the format; 03.16.2020, re-submitted; 05.07.2020, major revision; 05.15.2020, revision submitted to journal; 05.29.2020 minor revision; 05.31.2020, revision submitted to journal; 06.03.2020 with editor; 06.12.2020, accepted. The editor was Sergio N. Monteiro, who was good. However, the speed of processing articles is not fast. And the time is all delayed for “with editor”.

Do you know how much time this journal usually gives reviewers for peer review?

What about the follow-up? I also have one that was approved in just 3 hours, I'm very anxious.

This may also be related to luck. Mine was submitted on the evening of May 15th, and it seems to have been reviewed in 1-2 days. There were a total of three reviewers, and it took about 20 days to receive their feedback.

I submitted it on June 5th, and it is still being edited. Why is it taking so long recently?

Great God, please show me the way. What does "花钱是什么意思" mean? Is it open source?

The impact factor is quite high.

(0) Thank | 2986

It only took 30 minutes to review the paper and one person has already finished. Is this a tragedy?

Two reviewers started on April 14th, with one finishing in a timely manner and the other delaying. A new invitation was sent to reviewers on May 14th and by May 22nd, two reviewers completed their reviews (12-3-2). However, on June 11th, only one reviewer provided feedback, which included 11 suggestions for major revisions.

Hello, has the status been updated now? I just submitted my application and I'm feeling anxious....

I invested in 5.22RRC in March and it has not changed since.

(0) Thank | 暮y色

The RRC on April 11th, until now, has not been processed by the editors. I have sent several emails, but all I received were replies from the author support center with the same template. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue as me?
