Since Journal of Learning for Development was published by OSA Publishing, its reputation has gradually improved, and the review process has become more and more standardized. This time I tried, and I felt that it was OK, the review speed was fast, and the comments raised by the reviewers were still professional. The disadvantage was that I was only given 10 days for the major revision, which made me tired. It took two months in total from submission to acceptance, and the speed was OK. However, the editor would let you increase the citations of their articles. The journal should get better and better in the future.

Share the process for your reference: 1) 28-Jan-2019 to 19-Mar-2019, Result: Major Revision. 2) 26-Mar-2019 to 08-Apr-2019, Result: Minor Revision. 3) 08-Apr-2019 to 12-Apr-2019, Result: Accept. Generally speaking, I was so lucky that the reviewers are positive for the paper.

Submission for 25 days. After 3 weeks, the review comments were returned. After 1 week, the editorial comments were returned and a revision was required. (The manuscript was considered innovative and was approved by two reviewers, but there is a description in the text that the second reviewer found ambiguous, so the editor asked for a revision. Accepted directly after resubmission. In general, the editing efficiency is quite high and the review of the manuscript was handled responsibly. In recent years, the influence factor of COL has gradually increased, and the future is optimistic.

Is it normal to wait for the editorial board's first review for a month?

(0) Thank | 小徐论文百投百中

It has been sent for external review, and we should be looking for reviewers. The next step in the review process is Awaiting Reviewer Scores.

(0) Thank | dgz

The submission status has changed from "Awaiting editorial board first review" to "Awaiting reviewer selection". Does this mean it has been sent for external review, or is it still under internal review by the editorial board?

Submitted on January 16th, received first round of comments on February 10th and thought the process would be slower during the Chinese New Year, but surprisingly the review was quite fast. Given a week to make revisions, submitted responses to comments on February 14th. Normally, the results would come out quickly after minor revisions, but it remained in "awaiting reviewer scores" status for a month and a half... Waited for too long and decided to politely inquire with the editor. The editor mentioned that one of the reviewers had not completed their review yet, and after following up with the reviewer, the article was accepted in just a few days. Personal suggestion: if the status remains unchanged for an extended period (far beyond the normal duration), it is okay to politely inquire about the progress. Otherwise, waiting indefinitely is not a solution, as the reviewing editor may not suddenly remember they have pending articles to review!

It's only been a few days since submission and it's already in Awaiting Executive EIC Check. It's been stuck here for almost a week now, feeling like it's going to be rejected. Can't even pass the editor, are you handing it over to the chief editor before being rejected?

Does anyone know if it's normal for the assignment of reviewers to still be ongoing after 20 days?

The journal's official website has been updated:

Chinese: The Chinese Optics Journal website hosted by Chinese Laser Press (CLP): https://www.opticsjournal.net/Journals/col.cshtml

It seems that for submitting to the OSA website, registration for an OSA account is required.

The initial submission was to PR, after the review, feedback was given but it was rejected by the editor. It was suggested to submit to COL, initially forgot about it and submitted to other journals which did not work out. Only then remembered to submit to this journal, as PR had been submitted before and there was feedback from reviewers. After submitting to COL, the editor provided a few suggestions and after making the changes it was accepted. However, the speed of handling manuscripts in this journal is indeed quite slow. Originally, it was in the 3rd tier, but after the latest ranking table came out at the end of the year, it moved up to the 2nd tier. Instantly, graduation seemed within reach, hahaha.

Submission on April 29, 2024
Review process begins in mid-May 2024
Feedback for major revisions given on July 8, 2024 (19 comments from three reviewers, all of which were constructive)
Revisions completed and submitted on July 15, 2024
Acceptance notification on July 28, 2024
Expected publication in September 2024

Overall, the review process was relatively fast. Some classmates who submitted in the same group were rejected immediately, but it did not affect the timeline. The paper has been upgraded to a Tier 2 journal. Despite the general decline in impact factors in optical journals, it has managed to hold its ground. Hopefully, domestic journals will continue to improve.
