The article was submitted in October 2019, and the review comments were received in about 2 months after submission. There were 4 reviewers; 2 reviewers raised many comments; the third reviewer thought the innovation was not enough, but also gave suggestions; the fourth reviewer was the editor-in-chief, who also gave some suggestions, which was tantamount to major revision. The comments of the review experts were very professional. After revision, the article was relatively greatly improved. Due to the need to recalculate a lot of working conditions and the pandemic, it was completely delayed. The editor of this journal was very nice repeatedly agreed to postpone the deadline for submitting the revised manuscript. It was reviewed twice later, each time it took about one month and a half for the return of the review comments. The notice of acceptance was received in October this year. Due to the influence of the pandemic, the entire submission cycle of my article was as long as one year, which was really uneasy. However, the result was still good. The journal's impact factor soared to 5.8, which was unexpected and hoped to maintain.

The review is very timely, and comments was returned in about one month. This is the first time I submitted to a SCI journal, and I had no experience. I was asked to revise and resubmit. There were four reviewers. One of them had been requiring meticulous revisions to the abstract and background of the paper. The opinions given of language requirements are more pertinent compared with the other reviewers. There were only two reviewers in the second review. One reviewer proposed to add content for grid independence inspection and experimental verification, and the other one requested to modify the format of the references. There was only one reviewer for the third review. This reviewer requested that the experimental verification part be divided into a separate section, and the experimental verification part be introduced in detail. The language requirements were also given. There was a sentence in the abstract that was too long, which he said it took three times to read it. After the third revision, I waited for about a month and it was accepted directly. It is now in the publishing stage. The difficulty of this journal is not too high, the review is also very timely, the impact factor has exceeded 5, and it is expected that the difficulty of acceptance in the future may increase.

Each review cycle is about 1 month. 3 reviewers. Be very careful with revisions. In general, reviewers are very professional, very attentive, and editors are also very responsible. Not difficult to get accepted.

It has been ten days since submitting the manuscript, and it is still in the hands of the journal administrator. Have you followed up on it? How long has it been under the "with editor" and "under review" statuses?

(1) Thank | yinhengyu

Hello, may I ask how long have you been with the editor for this piece, and how long has it been under review? I have also submitted an article but it has not yet been assigned to an editor.
