Manuscript received, 02-Mar-2020; Rejected and resubmitted, 08-May-2020; Manuscript resubmitted, 29-May-2020; Major revision decision, 14-Aug-2020; Major revised, 20-Sep-2020; Awaiting reviewer scores, 30-Sep-2020; Awaiting AE recommendation, 16-Oct-2020; Awaiting reviewer scores, 17-Oct-2020. There were 3 reviewers in the first review, and two of them required minor revision, and the other one rejected it. There were the previous reviewers in the second review, the former two agreed to accept it; the third one didn’t reject it this time, and raised 10 revision comments. It was submitted after revision. The status changed from “awaiting reviewer scores” to “awaiting AE recommendation”. And it changed to “awaiting reviewer scores” on the 17th, which was same as (the experience of) the one on the 69th floor. Someone said it was easy to be accepted by IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. Maybe they are experts, and it is really difficult for ordinary people like me.

First of all, I have to say that TII is authoritative, professional and efficient. The 8-page of first submission ensures concise content and outstanding contributions; double-blind review ensures fairness of the review; the editorial office processed the manuscript in a short time and was highly efficient. I submitted to TII SS, and first review comments returned 47 days later. 5 reviewers and 28 comments. 4 reviewers said “topic is interesting”. A reviewer came from the sensor field, two reviewers came from the signal processing field, a reviewer came from the computer field, a reviewer came from the field of applied disciplines. They bombarded in terms of hardware data acquisition, signal processing technology, computational complexity and how to use them. The language of the comments was sharp but to the point, including some grammatical errors and typos. Although it was rejected, I learned a lot from TII's review. I failed miserably against the master, but at least I understood where I lost and how to improve.

04-Jun-2019 First submission; 05-Jun-2019 Double-blind review for the manuscript, returned for the format issue; 05-Jun-2019 Second submission; 14-Jul-2019 Major Revision; 27-Jul-2019 Revision submitted; 06-Aug-2019 Accept. The speed was fast. Originally, this article was submitted to IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid. There were 7 reviewers and the comments came back in one month and a half. One reviewer rejected the manuscript, and it was finally rejected. The other 5 reviewers’ comments were positive, and the other one had questions but said he would consider it after revision. I submitted it to IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics after revising it according to the comments. The comments returned in more than a week, but the decision was not made. The comments of three reviewers were finally displayed after sending it for review again. (I guessed that the previous two were positive. To be safe, the editor sent it to the third reviewer before making the decision.) Two of the three reviewers made comments of revising punctuation, pictures and so on. But the third reviewer raised very professional opinions. Comments on one of my key formulas was made. Later, I checked and found that the reviewer’s understanding was correct, and it was accepted after revision. (This was made based on the previous article, and I also found that the formula of the previous article was also problematic.) Overall, the review speed of top journals was fast, and the reviewers and editor were all rigorous, professional, and serious. Basically, it takes one month for the return of first review result. It will be rejected directly if there’s any rejection. What’s more, the time of with editor was short in each time. Thumbs up for the editor’s dedication!

A top journal for information technology. The content of the publication relates to many aspects of indusreview information. The review is extremely strict and responsible. Such reviewers were very responsible, requiring theoretical innovation and practical application. The paper acceptance rate is still extremely low. The number of papers published in one year is estimated to be less than 200, and the number of manuscripts exceeds 3,000.

Still waiting for AE's consideration. It seems that the reviewers have not all provided their feedback yet, only meeting the minimum review requirements.

This can only be contacted through the old system. Do not log in to the old system. There is a link to chat with IEEE. Click on it to send a message.
Name, I submit the Word version here, and it extracts it by itself. Is it a template error that the system did not recognize it?

Hello, sir. I have already updated the author name information in the IEEE author portal system, using the "first name + last name" format. However, the editor still says that the name needs to be in English format. Could you please guide me on how to modify the English name information? Thank you.

Boss, do you know how to view the edited contact information in the new system? I can't see anything in the new system, only a submission status that is always UR.

It has been 3 months since my manuscript was submitted for review, but I have not received any response yet. The main issue is that I am unable to check the progress in the old system. Should I inquire with the editor about this?

Please go to the IEEE author portal system to update your information, as the old system has been deactivated.

I submitted my paper through the IEEE author portal system, but the editor returned it for revisions, stating, "Please ensure all author names are entered in English on ScholarOne." However, the ScholarOne system does not allow me to modify author information. Have you encountered this issue before?

There is also author information in my CL, but I have been waiting for more than 2 months. Will it be rejected directly because of this in the end?

(0) Thank | lijiulong

I submitted with you on the same day, and it was returned several times. Finally, I asked the administrator and found out it was because my cover letter had the author's information. Now it has been sent to the AE.
