Sep 26, 2019 submitted to journal; Oct 16, 2019 major revision; Nov 1, 2019 revised to journal; Nov 23, 2019 major revision; Dec 12, 2019 revised to journal; Dec 31, 2019 with editor; Jan 8, 2020 rejected. Two reviewers, who were very professional, provided a lot of in-depth opinions, and corrected many details, which are very helpful to the improvement of the paper. For papers with less than 7,000 words, the reviewer's comments given exceeded 4 pages, which was close to 2,000 words. The comments were very tricky. They pointed out the core insufficiency of the paper at a glance. If it was revised according to the opinions, it was possible to be accepted by an IF 10 journal. Just gather myself and revise it.

Look at the data of this journal's annual article numbers through the web of science. The articles indexed in 2019 were only published till May 2019, and there’re 601 articles published within five months. It is estimated that the annual article volume could be more than 1,000. In 2009, only 91 articles were published in the year. After ten years, the amount of articles published has increased by 10 times!! Has the current level of technology increased by 10 times than before? 2019 (601), 2013 (692), 2007 (88), 2001 (68), 2018 (700), 2012 (420), 2006 (74), 2000 (64), 2017 (675), 2011 (249), 2005 (60), 1999 (62), 2016 (809), 2010 (80), 2004 (75), 1998 (63), 2015 (606), 2009 (91), 2003 (67), 1997 (54), 2014 (605), 2008 (123), 2002 (54), 1996 (38)

Let me share my submission experience. I submitted in the mid-July, The research content was relatively frontier, the quality of the paper was above the average of our group (The impact factor of journal was not high). It was with editor for more than two weeks. Inviting the reviewers took more than half a month, maybe the suitable reviewer could not be found for a long time. The first review was fast after accepting the review. It took nearly one and a half month; the status was hanged twice during the period. In the first time, it showed that the review had finished. But it changed to under review again in the system a few days later, and it showed that the review had finished in several days. Two review comments came back, two was better, one was awesome, and there were more than 20 comments. I have never seen so many comments before; the main problem is that to supplement the data and analysis, it was hard to deal with. I revised it back and forth for nearly two weeks. I resubmitted the revision, the second revision was fast, and it was accepted within a month. It was with editor for less than half a month. I am looking forward to it. The speed is okay.

I thought I was going to have a good experience with this journal but there were many ups and downs throughout the entire process. Anything from technical issues (figures not showing up in the proof, random hyperlinks in the text, etc.) to multiple rounds of revisions. This is an OK journal but prepare yourself for quite the back and forth between the editor and reviewers.

I have finished the repairs and we have started the 60-day countdown, can I hurry up?

(0) Thank | Estelle

The required results were only obtained after 50 days of urging, and now, after completing the repairs, we have started the 60-day countdown.

(0) Thank | Estelle

After all the reviews came back, there has been no movement for over a month. Proceed with caution...

Have you ever been reminded to submit your work in the middle of the month? Has the deadline in the middle of the month ever changed?

I have contacted five reviewers, but none of them have accepted the review in nearly a month. How come this journal can't find any reviewers?

Not bad, the day after receiving the comments on the major revision, they were accepted directly.
