I submitted the manuscript in December 2019, and still received no feedback in July 2020. I asked about the situation in May, and the editor said that he was still waiting for the reviewer’s comments...

I applied in November last year, and it has been almost 9 months now, and it is still under review. This is frustrating.

How long does it usually take for the second review of this journal to wait for the AE decision? It has been 3 weeks and still no decision, while the first review only took 3 days to make a decision.

Received on March 28, 2024; revised on August 24, 2024; accepted on November 6, 2024.

It took about 7 months from submission to acceptance. The topic of my paper aligns well with the scope of the journal, and after the first round of revisions, the reviewer's comments were concise and constructive. The revised draft based on the reviewer's comments showed a significant improvement in quality. I submitted another draft to this journal yesterday, and the submission page clearly stated that the journal is currently overwhelmed with a large number of submissions, leading to delays in processing. Subjectively, I believe that my paper's topic and quality align perfectly with the scope of this journal, so I submitted it with high hopes, despite the backlog.

As a CCF A journal, with lower submission requirements in the past, many people have submitted their papers, so the journal is likely to be more selective now, with stricter quality standards. Please wish me luck!

How long has the status with AE been ongoing? Does with AE mean all opinions have been received, or just some of them?

Two-party secure computation paper: The second round of reviews gave major revisions, but one reviewer kept mentioning that the paper contains a large number of mathematical formulas and cryptographic symbols, making it difficult to read and not suitable for readers outside the security field. Another opinion is that my experimental evaluation criteria only focus on execution latency and communication bandwidth, rather than important system overhead (aren't execution latency and communication bandwidth the same in secure computation? That's how existing papers do it), scalability (the paper tested different input scale data, consistent with existing papers, don't know what he wants), robustness (never heard of it). Still no separate module ablation experiments (the paper is so big, the subheadings are hard to see).

He gave a rejection opinion. For a paper on secure computation, it is hard to imagine such comments in a cryptography journal. The other two reviewers accepted it with minor revisions.

This kind of subjective opinion is really tough. Who understands, what does he want?

Major revision with three reviewers, revisions were major, major, and resubmitted. It took an additional half month, totaling 3.5 months, and the editor's responses were prompt and friendly.
Minor revision with three reviewers, revisions were minor, minor, and major. Returned for revisions within a month, and the editor handled them promptly.
The reviewers were very professional and nice, although they ultimately had differing opinions, they respected the author's intentions and still gave an accept decision.
Accepted one month later.

I submitted the article in May 24 years ago, and I have not received any feedback so far. I have also followed up several times, but it has been in vain. They keep saying to be patient and wait. Has the author received any results now?

(0) Thank | Maurelle

The submission was made in April 2024, and it has been 10 months now. The first round of feedback hasn't come back yet, despite reminding them twice. Editor Wang, I'm anxious to graduate. Later, I heard from friends that this journal is very biased, with mostly articles from insiders. Editor Wang has now been removed from the journal, replaced by Dan Lin as the new editor. I hope to receive the results quickly.

This team is really terrible. The initial draft was submitted in December 2023, and it wasn't until December 2024 that the status finally changed from "in peer review" to "with AE" (after being reminded twice by the admin). Then there was a complete two-month silence with no updates. Yesterday, after reminding them about the manuscript, they promptly rejected it today with only one AE review and no other reviewers. It's really disappointing and a waste of one year. The review comments were very general, only mentioning lack of novelty and not being suitable for their journal. It was completely unhelpful. I can't believe that my article from 2023 was dragged on until 2025. If they couldn't find a reviewer, they should have rejected it earlier. I suspect they didn't even try. The system is outdated and there were no updates in between. I advise everyone to avoid wasting time on this journal unless they have plenty of time to spare.

Brother, I have been waiting for almost a month and my application is currently "Under review." I am not sure if this means it is still being reviewed internally by the editors or if it has moved on to external review.

Could you please tell me how long it usually takes for the big shots to respond with AE... It's been almost 20 days since I submitted my application.

Submitted on December 13, 2023, and reminded in April 2024 to patiently wait, but the status is still "Under review" up to now...
It seems that a new website has been launched. May I ask if the status of last year's submission can still be checked on the old website? After registering on the new website, I found that the submission information does not seem to be synchronized. QAQ
