5.8, submission; 5.11, with editor; 5.14, sent for review; 8.3, major revision of structure and language, and there were not too many problems for the methods; 8.31, the revised manuscript was submitted; 9.5, the editor revised the language; 9.13, accepted; 9.25, already online. There were 3 review experts and 61 revision comments in total. Seeing that major revision was required, I thought it was over. After the submission of the revised manuscript, it seemed that the editor accepted it directly, without sending it for review, Maybe the editor thought the polishing service I looked for was too rubbish, he revised the language and let me confirm. It was finally online. It is the first SCI article in my life, and the journal is in Q2; I am excited. P.S., don’t know why the partial field can’t be changed. My field is agricultural machinery testing and reliability analysis.

In June 2019 the manuscript was submitted. In January 2020 a major revision was required. The editor-in-chief required to add the Discussion section and rewrite the Introduction section. In March 2020 a major revision was made and I submitted the revised manuscript. In July 2020 it was accepted. I am grateful to the reviewers.

This is my second submission. It was acceptance in January. The decision of major revision was made in early June. The article was accepted in early August. The overall speed is OK. The editor(s) help modify the grammar, format, etc.

Our manuscript received tons of edits and comments from the reviewers – all very professional – which we were very appreciative for. The reviewers raised many excellent points that significantly strengthened our manuscript. It is worth noting that the review period was long; we submitted in Nov. 2015 and our manuscript was accepted at the end of Aug. 2016.

Basking in your good luck, I came back for review in January, went back for revisions in February, and turned into a dip on April 6. It has been over a month since then, and I am still in the long wait...

The editor is Raphael Linker, and the review time for my second revision is half a month.

Brother, who is your editor? I didn't send my second revision for external review, just dipped directly. It has been over a month since I dipped and I am feeling anxious.

Submitted in November 24th year
First review came back in March 25th year
Sent back for revisions in April 25th year
Received a notice in May 25th year to change the format, but they said several of my figures are difficult to read
Although I submitted to a journal in the first tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it had already moved down to the second tier by then. However, I am still happy. I have had papers rejected before, so getting recognition is already a happy thing
I hope the journal continues to improve.

After the modification was made, the reviewer quickly accepted and completed the review. Then, a long period of waiting began. It has been nearly two weeks since April 24th. Hopefully, we will receive good news soon.

Finally, I gave it a revise.

The second reviewer has passed, but the editor-in-chief insisted on saying that he did not believe in the experimental process. He doesn't understand machine learning and blindly gives suggestions. He can't even match the line numbers in his comments, which is ridiculous. All the questions he raised were about the parameter that was discarded after comparison in the article. I don't know what's going on with him. If you think the article is not good, don't submit it for review in the first place. The second reviewer passed, you made more than 20 revisions based on their feedback, and then rejected it. And all the issues raised were very unprofessional. Isn't this disgusting?

No, this journal will go through such a process. Just wait for good news.

Does "Decision in process" appearing after the first review of this journal mean rejection?

(0) Thank | 百千里

Did it go straight to the editor after that? Was it sent for external review?

(0) Thank | 123哇哇哇哇杀杀杀

I am just like you. After the major revision, the public account shows that a reviewer has completed the review, but it is still in the "Under Review" status. I checked the website and got anxious. Can I ask how long you have been under review? What is the final situation?

(0) Thank | 123哇哇哇哇杀杀杀

How long does dip usually take? Why hasn't it rejected me after so long? It previously said the content was too long, so I reduced it to eight thousand words. After uploading the revised draft, it took over ten days to become dip, and then it continued for several more days.

(0) Thank | LILLIPOP_M

I waited for 3 months for the decision, and on March 20th, I received an email saying the review was accepted but I needed to make some formatting changes. On March 26th, it was officially accepted.

Despite the long wait for the decision, the overall experience was good. I am grateful to the editor-in-chief and the team for meticulously editing my manuscript. The editor-in-chief is James A. Taylor, and I am very thankful.

Although it was accepted into the second tier just 6 days before, it was still disappointing. I missed out on the first prize and the top spot in the first tier. The 2025 Chinese Academy of Sciences ranking is not good.

Was it rejected? I was told before that the content was too long, so I modified it to the required word count and uploaded it. It has been "with editor" for a long time and now it has become "dip." Does this mean it will be rejected?

(0) Thank | LILLIPOP_M

But I don't know why it's suddenly turned into a dip today. I feel like I'm going to be rejected.

Reducing the word count for submission should logically result in a review. Otherwise, there would be no need to reduce the word count. Many journals are not strict with word limits, so it's unclear why BE is so serious about it.

A very good journal, but the impact factor and ranking have dropped too much. Hopefully it will get better and better.

I submitted the manuscript in November 24th. Two weeks later it was sent for review. The editor assigned it to 6 reviewers, 2 of whom accepted. However, only one reviewer provided comments in February 25th. After more than a month, they suddenly disappeared without giving any feedback. The editor did not wait and did not assign new reviewers, which made me anxious.
