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.

Excuse me, is the editor Liu? Do you have any news now?

The first submission to Tii, received minor revisions after initial review, and accepted two weeks later, the whole process took exactly four months. The quality of the journal is still very good, and it is normal for the impact factor to fluctuate.

Thank you, praying for kind-hearted reviewers ❤️❤️❤️
Does this mean it's under review now? Last time I submitted, after "assigning reviewers," it was rejected as out of scope after a month.｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡

Good brother, I think you can remind him. I am also waiting for Liu Honggai to come online, you have reminded him before, so he should be able to help us assign AE now.

I am also having trouble recognizing the keywords. I used this system to submit before and it was fine.

The impact factor is getting lower, there is an excessive amount of paper manuscripts, and the review process is slow.

We are fortunate, I am also Liu Honghai. Can all Liu Honghai's add me as friends and communicate with each other?

I am also the chief editor of this, and now stuck at the final step of "Awaiting EIC Decision" without any response for a long time, feeling very anxious.
