Let me talk about the submission experience and give you a reference. 10.20 submit (it always displayed under review after submission); 12.2 I received a minor revision notice on the day of the wedding. There were four reviewers (one reviewer praised the entire paper, and the other three raised more than 100 questions instead of comments); 12.7 Revised submission. (we wrote more than 40 pages of answers, explained technical terms one by one, and talked about the research background); 12.20 Urged the review; 12.26 Received the comments for making a minor revision and revising the format. (Two reviewers stated 5 declarative sentences... I didn’t know how to answer this kind of declarative sentences, and then I answered, "You are right." The reviewers come first.) 12.28 I received an email requesting the submission of supporting information. 12.29 Accept. The entire text, from submission to the final acceptance, was not changed except the format. Come on... Be sure to return to Q2! Woo woo.

2020.5.8: Submission; 2020.5.27: First review comments of four reviewers were received, requiring major revisions, and more than 40 comments were made; 2020.6.26: Comments returned (Too many questions!); 2020.7.11: I received the second review comments, requiring minor revisions (issues in format and English language); 2020.7.15: revised manuscript was returned; 2020.7.19: it was finally accepted. It was submitted during the epidemic. The four reviewers in the first review asked more than 40 questions, which were all in-depth. Although they were difficult to answer, as long as you took each question seriously, made up the experiment properly, and cited more references to explain your views, the reviewers should not embarrass you. The first SCI article during the master's period can also be regarded as being worthy of the efforts of the entire master's period. Finally, a special thanks to the editor-in-chief Professor Massimo Morbidelli.

The editorial processing speed is quite fast, it feels like the reviewers intentionally delayed the review for a long time (both the first and second reviews took 40 days, and the second review only had a language expression modification issue from one reviewer).

Friends who are feeling anxious should still carefully consider this journal.

I was assigned as Associate Editor Sahu in early March, and received the reviewer's comments in early April, almost one month later.

Bro, is this editor efficient? I also got assigned to this editor.

May I ask how fast Zachary P. Smith's processing speed is this time, compared to our other editor?

(0) Thank | 陆离

Where can we see if the new system has been submitted for review? The assignment of the deputy editor has been under consideration for 10 days.

(0) Thank | nevele

It has been forty days already... I emailed the editor and they said the review process is expected to continue until May 7, 2025... Hopefully, we will all have good luck!

(0) Thank | 常接收

What progress has the OP made so far? It has been 15 days since my first round of revisions were returned, but I have not received the results yet. Praying for good luck!

It has been almost twenty days since the first trial was sent back, is this normal? T-T Is there any similar situation?

The deputy editor Zachary P. Smith handled this quickly, unexpectedly.

So slow, submitted on 3.31 but still no associate editor assigned on 4.8. I want to ask how to push for submission in this situation. It's so annoying, neither rejected nor assigned an associate editor, just stuck. It's disgusting, don't even know who to email.

I have submitted two articles before. This time, I am assigned to the same associate editor, Zachary P. Smith, as last time. Although this editor is very friendly, the processing speed is really slow. It usually takes him over a month to review the submission.

May I ask if the appointment of the deputy editor-in-chief has been finalized after twenty days, as there has been no change in status? Is the submission process underway?

(0) Thank | 泰兴小石头

The status of the submission has not been processed since it was submitted to the editor. What happened afterwards with your article?

(0) Thank | 低调点低调

Buddy, I am also this editor. It's been almost 20 days without any news. Did you send a reminder for the manuscript? Will there be any changes in the status after it is submitted for review? I'm getting impatient.

2.23 Submission
After submitting, I went to eat lunch. I came back in the afternoon and it's still under consideration. Has it been sent for review? It can't be. But I didn't see "submitted" or "with editor" either.
