Last year, after hitting a wall with my one-year-long submission to top journals, I realized the reality and decided to submit two articles at once. Both were accepted around January, and they were relatively simple journals.

Just want to ask, how long does it take to enter the review stage? It has been a week and it has been in the waiting for review status all along.

Second review in 10 days, directly accepted after minor revision

(0) Thank | 云飞扬@

In the first review, there were three reviewers, and it took 35 days. There were more than thirty comments in total, with two reviewers being young peers and very professional, providing targeted comments, while one senior peer provided more general feedback. Special thanks to the second reviewer, who wrote a lengthy evaluation and provided 19 targeted comments, which were very difficult to respond to. This reviewer definitely read the article thoroughly from start to finish (feeling like it might be rejected or require major revisions). The questions raised ranged from the introduction to the experiments to the analysis and conclusion. Never before had such meticulous reviewers been encountered, and after reading the review comments, there was a feeling of being touched and almost moved to tears. Truly, fellow researchers, have you ever experienced that feeling of being earnestly considered by a reviewer? At that moment, it was decided that regardless of rejection or acceptance by the reviewers, every question from the reviewers must be earnestly addressed. We must not shirk our responsibility when others are being responsible towards us. Therefore, we hurried to conduct additional experiments, added mathematical derivations, supplemented with more analysis and discussion, and focused solely on this task, sleeping only 6 hours a day. It took more than 20 days to respond to the over thirty comments, but after making the revisions, the article indeed saw significant improvements, becoming more persuasive and pleasing to the eye, and there was a sense of satisfaction

The review process was very fast, with a total of 3 reviewers. Two of the reviewers provided very professional comments, and the article significantly improved after incorporating their suggestions. It seems like the review process for this journal has become stricter. Hopefully, the journal will continue to improve

First time submission, overall it was quick. It took a little over a month from submission to publication. Two reviewers suggested major revisions, but the issues raised were not particularly difficult. The editor only gave 10 days to revise the paper. After one round of revisions, no further issues were raised. The editor asked for minor revisions, giving 1 day to correct grammar and proofread the article before accepting it. However, be aware that the publication fee for this journal is 2400 Swiss Francs, which is a little over 19,000 Chinese Yuan
