The impact factor of IET RPG is much higher than that of IET Power Electronics and IET GTD, and it should be considered the most influential journal of IET in the power field, which is much difficult to be accepted, with at least 5 reviewers for the first review. The current manuscript processing speed of IET RPG has been improved.

After the submission, the status did not change for a long time. Suddenly, when I went to the website to see it, I found that I had a major revision, but I did not receive the review comments. When I sent an email to ask, the responsible editor was on leave. However, the revision period was expedited and satisfactory.

It's a very good journal with a fast review process. The initial review took one month, and the re-review after revisions took a little over a month. The paper has been accepted, and the editor is very good!

Brother, have you received any news about your Awaiting AE assignment? If so, on which day did you receive it?

(0) Thank | 锦年

Brother, me too. What's your current situation now?

How long does it usually take for the awaiting AE assignment in this journal? Why has it been in this status for over two weeks since I submitted it?

(0) Thank | 花儿对我笑

Take a little bit of good luck, I just submitted this publication, hoping for a good outcome.

(1) Thank | xiaotao118

What direction are you working on? If it is related to electrical engineering, the writing may not be very good. If it is not, then it may be outside the scope of papers indexed by IET, and you can consider submitting it to a different journal.

How long does it take for you to change your state?

(0) Thank | 一剑飘香

My status also changed from waiting for reviewer assignment to waiting for editor decision. Isn't it directly tragic?...

(0) Thank | zhangsun

awaiting reviewer assignment means that the initial allocation of reviewers has not been fully agreed upon for review. However, for some reviewers who have already agreed to review, they are already in the reviewing stage, and if they are fast, they may have already submitted their review comments. It is only when all reviewers agree to review that the status will change to "awaiting reviewer score".

(0) Thank | cdy4457

Dude, I want to ask if this journal only has "awaiting reviewer assignment" status? It has been in this state all along, I don't know if it is under review.
