A total of four reviewers were invited, and it was accepted after four rounds of revisions. Each round was with editor for a long time. It took about 6–8 months from submission to the review results received. The review results included “revise and resubmit”, “conditionally accepted”, and “accept”. There is no “major revision” option in this journal. In the whole process, all reviewers were replaced after two rounds of “revise and resubmit”, which is equivalent to restarting. Conclusion: submit carefully.

The predecessor was IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation. It was divided into IEEE Transactions on Robotics and IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering. It is difficult to be accepted. 2018.11, submission; 2019.06, major revision; 2019.07, revision submitted; 2019.12, minor revision submitted; 2020.03, accepted. I do research on decision making, and it is a relatively important journal in the industry. There were 6 reviewers, but fortunately, it was accepted.

Let me make a correction that the above ranking is corresponding to the category of the robotics-SLAM, not limited to all robotics. The comprehensive ranking that includes mechanical control, structure learning, etc., is probably IJRR, TRO, JFR, TMECH, TIE, TASE, TCYBER, TCST, TSMC, TIM, TCDS. The latest review record is as follows: it was submitted on May 28, 2018, conditionally accepted as a short essay on December 13, 2018, returned after revision on January 3, 2019, and accepted as a long essay on September 17, 2019. It took about 17 months and the review speed was relatively slow.

First instance or second instance? My first instance is proceeding as normal, but it has been over a month since the second instance was submitted and there has been no response. I don't know what the situation is.

Excuse me, experts, I have a question: Why did it change back to "under review" after waiting for the reviewers' scores? Does this mean that new reviewers need to be added? Is it because of significant differences in opinions or did the reviewers back out?

(0) Thank | 邱是吾儿

I don't know what's going on either. Brother, have you changed your status again? Yesterday, I went from waiting for comments to UR.

(0) Thank | 邱是吾儿

I also went from waiting for grades to UR. Brother, what was your final result?

(0) Thank | 邱是吾儿

I am the same. It has been a month and a half since the second review, and I have been in UR status all along. I estimate that they have not started reviewing the manuscript yet.

My first two days waiting for AE recommendations have now turned into awaiting reviewer scores. It's been about three and a half months since the first review.

(0) Thank | Gov

It has been almost a month since the second review, and it has been "Under Review" all this time. Has it now changed to "Reviewer Score Cancelled"? Are there any similar cases?
