Two reviewers, requiring a major revision. The reviewers were very professional. After revision, the quality of the paper had been improved. The processing speed of the editor was very fast. MSEA is a quite authoritative journal in the material field. Hope that the journal will get better and better. By the way, there was another paper with a similar structure was rejected in the first review, and for the one paper got accepted, we shared the byline with a top ten university in QS World University Rankings. Hey~~!

After several submission rounds I now feel my paper is almost entirely rewritten; the review speed is very fast. I have experienced two re-rejections and re-submitted, and was accepted after a minor repair. The reviewers encountered were very good, and they raised a lot of detailed questions. They also helped to make some modifications. After the revisions, I felt the article was obviously improved.

I have been with the editor for a month now, and the last update was on May 25th. I'm not sure what's going on. Can I send an email to follow up on this?

I have been waiting for two months, have you submitted it for review now?

May I ask if you have any updates? I have also been waiting for half a month since returning for repair and have not received any news yet.

My first trial returned on the 5th of July and is currently with the editor. Do you think I should follow up with them?

Have you ever encountered a situation where the reviewer refuses to accept revised manuscripts? It's been three months since the revisions were submitted in February, and they still haven't been accepted. It's really frustrating.

It's been almost 10 days since I last heard from you. I'm not sure how you're doing.

From submission to acceptance took about three months, a very good experience. Thank you to the editor-in-chief and reviewers for their efficiency.

I have been stuck in the "with editor" stage for 3 weeks now, and I really don't know how much longer it will take. If I don't hear back in another week, I will withdraw my submission.

It's been more than 20 days with editor, why hasn't it been submitted for review yet?

Sorry, it's a waste of time. I applied for over half a month and got rejected. They asked me to reapply elsewhere.

It has been half a month since I submitted it. Is it normal to still be "with editor"?

Hello, sir. I have received the R&R feedback from MSEA. When replying, they requested for the marked-up manuscript for revisions, highlighted, but without using red font. Does this mean I should display the revised content with a "highlighted background (black font)"? Please let me know, thank you.

I have received the R&R comments from MSEA, and when replying, they asked for the marked-up manuscript for revisions, highlighting is required but red font cannot be used. Should I display the modified content with a "highlighted background color (black font)"? Please let me know, thank you.

Boss, I received the comments on the R&R from MSEA, and they asked for the marked-up manuscript for the revisions. They also requested that the changes be highlighted, but without using red font. Does this mean that the modified content should be displayed with a "highlighted background (black font)"? Please advise, thank you.

Dear experts, I have received the R&R feedback from MSEA, and they have requested to provide a marked-up manuscript for the revisions. They also asked for it to be highlighted, but without using red font. Does this mean that the revised content should be displayed with a highlighted background (in black font)? Please kindly confirm, thank you.

The status of "Required Reviews Complete" has been ongoing for a week now, but the editor still hasn't provided any feedback. What's going on?

(0) Thank | li@yang

Excuse me, have you submitted for review? I've been with the editor for a month as well, not sure what's going on. This has never happened before. I've sent two reminder emails but they have had no effect.
