2.14, submit; 2.15, with editor; 2.23, under review; 3.16, major revision. There was a total of three reviewers, the first two asked some small questions, which were easy to answer, the third reviewer was very serious and asked 20 questions! The statistical method was request to modify. 4.17, 7 pages were replied in R1; 4.19, under review; 5.12, major revision was required. Only the third reviewer’s opinion was provided, with 8 major points and 37 very detailed points (basically regarding to the terms and structure). They gave specific suggestions for many of the problems. For example, it would be better to replace word A with word B. 6.6, 7 pages were replied carefully in R2! 6.26, minor revision was required. The reviewer gave a very high evaluation, but also mentioned 16 very detailed points, also regarding to the terms and structure. 6.27, R3; 6.28, accepted! 8.4, proof available for checking. This is the first article in my life. I was grateful! I was always fantasizing of sharing the experience after the acceptance. Finally, it was the day! I always felt anxious, and only got relieved after receiving the proof! Thank you, my Brazilian friend, for handling it so efficiently! I am grateful to meet such a good reviewer and I’ve learnt a lot! I wish EES better and better!

2020.3.5 First submission; 2020.3.6 the editor returned the manuscript and let me revise the first time (format issues), and the revision should be returned within 60 days. 2020.3.7 revised submission. 2020.3.18 the editor returned the manuscript and let me revise for the second time (the article background research was not enough, and there was no comparison of the data of the peers in recent years), and the revision should be returned within 60 days. 2020.5.8 revised submission. 2020.5.19 the editor returned the manuscript and let me revise the third time (the editor queried insufficient repeatability, and let me give him evidences), and the revision should be returned within 60 days. 2020.6.4, revised submission; 2020.6.9, sent for review; 2020.6.18 The number of reviewers reached the required number, and the editorial office would decide (returned so soon... I thought it would be rejected...); 2020.6.21 Review comments came back. I was surprised that only one reviewer asked me to correct some minor problems. There was no need to make up experiments, principles, etc. The other reviewers unanimously agreed acceptance and gave high praise~ Yeah! The editorial office gave a minor revision. Hahahaha, the revision should be returned within 30 days. After looking at the questions raised, reviewer 1 should be a peer. 2020.7.2 I returned the revised manuscript and I was waiting anxiously. 2020.7.8 acceptance. It is the first SCI paper in my life. It is a surprise to be the first author of a paper in a Q2 journal. I don’t have much experience in writing and submitting the manuscript all by myself. The editorial office was quite troubled in the early stage. I thought it was already at the edge of rejection. I didn’t expect that the manuscript seemed to be much smoother after review. Although the speed seemed to be slower during the epidemic period, the overall efficiency of this journal was still very high. Personally, I recommend it~ If the direction is in line with the journal, you can have a try~

Submitted on April 25; Major revision required on August 12 (Three reviewers: one felt that there was nothing new and we argued with reasons; the other two had an overall positive evaluation, but the questions were also very detailed and comprehensive. Two months of revision were given. Because I had too many other things to do, I had to return the manuscript till the deadline. It was basically revised according to the reviewers’ comments; we wrote 7 pages of responses to reviewers, and referred to a lot of literature); The manuscript was resubmitted on October 12; it was returned on October 15 due to the format issues. The manuscript cannot be submitted as pdf format. I resubmitted the manuscript after revision on the same day; soon it was with editor; October 24, decision in process!!! It seemed that it had not been sent out for review. I'm super nervous... It was accepted on October 26 (but I really didn't dare to look at the results. I only checked the system on October 28 and found that It was accepted. Ha Ha). The first review was relatively slow, mainly because it was true that the articles in this field were not inconsiderable internationally. I heard that a lot of reviewers have been invited till at last three agreed to review... But there is no epidemiological article in this field in China, we think it is very necessary. Fortunately, the editor-in-chief Bing Yan agrees with our point of view. So happy~ The reviewers read carefully and are of high level, which is very helpful to improve the quality of the paper. The editorial office processes manuscripts quickly and responds to questions quickly. Generally speaking, the speed is relatively fast. IF 2018 is 4.5. I am optimistic about this journal.

The overall speed is very fast and the efficiency is very high. There are a total of 3 reviewers. Two months given for revision. The reviewer wrote more than 5,000 words. After the revision, I felt that the article was greatly improved.

It has been three months since submission, only one reviewer has agreed to review and provide feedback. The status of the submission keeps changing but no reviewer has agreed to review it. What should be done in this situation? Emails have been sent to urge for progress, but the editor only provided the current status. If there is only one reviewer, will there be a need for revisions?

The retrial was postponed to the end of June without any rush, with opinions from two experts expected to be returned within two weeks. The wait in between was too long.

(0) Thank | Accept-618

I am one of the editors, with three reviewers for the first round of review. One reviewer suggested accepting the manuscript directly, while the other two reviewers with feedback. I have been gone for 40 days for the second round of review, and one reviewer completed the review on June 6th, while the other reviewer has not responded at all.
