The article was submitted on February 18 this year, and the notice of acceptance was received in October 3. It took 7.5 months in total. There were 4 rounds of review in total. The editor-in-chief reviewed the article in the first review, and the comments of the editor-in-chief in the first review were returned on February 22, mainly explaining the format and language issues. It entered external review (second review) in early April. The comments of the second review were returned on May 22. There were 2 reviewers, one required minor revision and the other one required revision, and the editor-in-chief decided “accept after revision”; The manuscript was submitted after revision on June 27, and it entered the third review; The comments were returned on September 21, and minor revision was required. The reviewers were basically agreed, and the editor-in-chief carefully revised the full text, including some questions and grammatical errors. Later, there was a fourth review, and a minor revision was made. It was finally accepted on October 3. It was delayed for the entire March due to my own slack. If we hurried up, 6 months from submission to acceptance should be no problem. GPS Solutions should be one of the Top 3 journals in the field of surveying and mapping. I hope I will continue to submit articles if there are good results.

Submitted for one and a half months; both reviewers gave positive comments. It was submitted for a full three months from December 4th to March 12th. In the top journals in GNSS navigation, mapping and remote sensing, I feel that the journal focuses on the innovation of the idea, especially the experimental verification. I was very lucky to be so successful for the first time. I wish you good luck.

I was also told "out of scope" after over three months.

Now it hasn't been submitted yet, still with editor, close to four months...

(0) Thank | zzz

The initial review took nearly two months, and the editor-in-chief said that my submission was rejected because they received too many articles on the same topic.

JCR 2 is here.

JCR has changed to Zone 2. The impact factor has decreased so much. Sigh.

Submitted on January 15th, 2025, one major revision, two minor revisions, accepted on January 20th, 2025. It feels quite fast.

My suggestion was rejected the same day without any further consideration.

It's difficult to hold back┭┮﹏┭┮. Would it be too abrupt if I directly urge the editor?

Do two reviewers accept the manuscript, if one of them replies in just one day, is it likely that they will reject the manuscript?

There's no way, I can only wait.

I am also facing the same issue. The second reviewer is extremely slow. I have been urging the email provided on the website, but the other party only replies that the review is in an active state and does not help me push the editor. I don't know what to do now, it's really tough to just wait like this.

The submission was made at the end of December 24, and by the end of February 25, six reviewers were invited. Now it has been over two months and there is still no news.

(0) Thank | BigFishZHZ

I have two reviewers.

(0) Thank | Yaozhazha

Is it enough to have just two reviewers?

(0) Thank | accepted

It's been over 3 months since my second review, it's really slow. One reviewer has already given feedback, while the other has been dragging on for a long time.
