How about the speed of this journal? It has been 4 and a half months since I submitted the paper and it has always been under review.

On August 17th, the paper was submitted to the journal, but as of the 20th, we have not received a decision on acceptance or rejection. We also do not have a Manuscript Number yet. Is this normal?

Hello, may I ask if this article by JMS is being processed very slowly? I have been waiting for three days and still haven't received any updates. I'm starting to lose confidence.

Has it been approved in one day? It's been three days since submission and it still hasn't been approved. I'm getting anxious.

Returned for revision on July 28, 2025, marked as WE.
Returned after 10 days on August 7, 2025, marked as UR, but only sent to reviewer 1. I believe the editor carefully reviewed the issues raised by reviewer 2 and my responses, and decided it was unnecessary to send it back to reviewer 2.
Reviewer 1 completed the review on August 10, 2025, in the Easville 00 system. However, the submission system still showed UR from August 7, lagging behind.
Late night on August 13, DIP.
Early morning on August 14, Accept.

The entire process from submission to acceptance took a total of 2 months. The editor of this journal is quite busy but also appears to be very diligent. The editor will carefully review the revised documents and decide whether to send it back to the reviewers based on the situation. The reviewers are knowledgeable in their field, focusing on reproducibility and technical contributions, and they review quickly. Overall, it was a good submission experience. I hope my experience can help others.

Go back upstairs. It's not related to confirmation, this journal with the editor is just slow. I've been revising it for 9 days and it still hasn't been sent for review.

Hello, do all the collaborating authors of this journal need to confirm the process? My with editor has been silent for 10 days, is this the reason?

Interestingly, both reviewers were quite positive. However, the editor said, "The reviewers have made comments on your paper. They pointed out that the current form of the paper is not acceptable for publication. However, if you believe you can address the reviewers' comments effectively (including the following), I suggest you revise and resubmit your manuscript." It sounded scary, but I thought the editor was giving me a chance. After reading the reviewers' comments, I feel okay.

The two reviewers really looked carefully, there are no traces of AI review. The questions raised are very professional and helpful for improving the paper.

The first two papers during the doctoral stage were published in JMS, and I still choose this journal for the third paper. The editors are efficient, and the reviewers provide professional and constructive feedback. I hope to continue the success of the previous two papers and conclude my doctoral career on a high note!!! Submitted to the journal on June 25, 2025.

I submitted three times last year, all rejected within one day. Although the journal has high requirements, I feel the efficiency is quite high. This time it's 6.10 STJ, and 6.16 is still WE. I wonder what trick you are trying to play?

Which one is better, this journal or ROBOTICS AND COMPUTER-INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING? This journal has two quartiles, but a high impact factor. RCIM is in the first quartile, but has a low impact factor.

From submission to acceptance took a total of 6 and a half months, the editor's handling attitude was serious, the speed was very fast, and the expert review opinions were also very professional. Both articles were published in JMS, hoping that JMS will continue to improve.
