This journal processes manuscripts very quickly, as long as it is a working day, the editor will send the manuscript for review or reject it on the same day. It won’t be delayed for very long, and the external review results will be returned within half a month. My manuscript got accepted after a total of three months and underwent a major revision and a minor revision.

Publication in this journal seems easier than others I’ve submitted to in the past. The review speed is quick – about 20 days. After addressing the reviewer’s suggestions, my manuscript was accepted two days after resubmission. The editor was also helpful and professional.

There was no rush for submission, but after a few days of acceptance, they asked for me to proofread and submit quickly, and then it was online shortly after.

Has the senior urged for the submission? Will this journal provide proofreading? I saw the senior go online in just 2 days, but I have been waiting for over a month and still haven't received the proof. I wonder if this process still exists.

Hello seniors, may I ask how long it takes for the proof and online publication after acceptance? I urgently need the article now, but it was accepted on April 28, 2025. During this period, there was one revision by the reviewer but the editor's response did not provide any useful information. It took a month for the status to change to "with editor," and now it has changed to "DIP," but it has been 6 days without any further updates. I am worried.

Hey classmate, what is the submission number for the article you submitted on April 15th? Has it been reviewed yet?

Teacher, I see that after WE, it changes to DIP, and then back to WE, right? Mine was WE for about 2 weeks, and then it changed to DIP for 4 days. I don't know if it's a rejection or something else. The first time WE had an email notification, but the second time WE still had an email notification, but at this point the status changed to DIP. I don't know if there is a chance of UR, or if it will be rejected directly.

Teacher, in front of you, "with editor" has changed to "Decision in Process," and then it is "Under review"? Can I ask if it has been 4 days since "with editor" changed to "Decision in Process" after 10 days, and there has been no movement, does this mean it is unlikely to be sent for review? And does it mean it will be rejected?

Teacher, may I ask if my status "with editor" for 10 days has now changed to "Decision in Process" for 4 days with no updates, does it mean my submission will not be sent for review and will be rejected?

Have you submitted it for review, classmate?

I have read many comments saying that the reviewers provided friendly suggestions, but the editors rejected the submission and then suggested resubmission. I didn't expect this to be their routine operation, just to shorten the review period on their official website. I don't understand why they do this. One reviewer is friendly, the other suggests major revisions. The editor rejects the submission and suggests resubmission, but after resubmitting, there is no response. Although their official website states a one-month review period, they may reject you several times, so be prepared. Currently, they have a large number of submissions. In February, the submission number was around 800, but by the end of April, it had increased to nearly 2500. With so many submissions, they are even slower in processing, so those who are in a hurry to graduate should carefully consider submitting their manuscript.

24.10.30 Submitted for review
24.11.26 Received feedback from three reviewers. It seems that this journal doesn't have major or minor revisions, it's all about revisions. They gave a month to return the revised version, but I delayed a bit in the middle, so I returned it on 12.26 (which is probably why the acceptance process was slow, as people were on holiday).
25.2.3 Working with the editorial department on U.S. time every day, checking in the evening.
25.2.12 Accepted (as mentioned above, it was in the middle of the night in U.S. time when my supervisor sent me the email). It took only a few days after acceptance to be published online, it seems like the editorial department is more efficient than me.

Submitted on March 5th, with editor two weeks later. Rejected yesterday without review. Today the editor encouraged resubmission with a complete overhaul of the article and the addition of an expensive experiment. Has anyone had a similar experience of resubmitting after rejection without review? Is the likelihood of acceptance higher after resubmission?

Hello OP, may I ask how the DIP results were after the 18th? Why did you change editors twice? I also seem to have changed editors (the date has changed).

Hello, may I ask how long it usually takes for a reviewer to review a paper? I also only have one reviewer, and it has been over three weeks since I submitted my paper for review, but there has been no response yet. I am wondering how long the review process typically takes for this journal.

After over a month, it is still under review after modification ?.
