2019/6/12 submit; 2019/11/06 major revision; 2019/11/28 resubmit; 2019/12/01 under review; 2019/12/07 require reviews completed; 2019/12/09 decision in process; 2019/12/10 accept. On the whole, the manuscript process speed was still relatively fast if reviewers were found. But in general, the editor only invited two reviewers. If a reviewer didn’t respond within one month, and the system automatically sent the manuscript to a new reviewer. The review deadline for reviewers should be one month. This journal is demanding, which is worth a try if good innovations. I wish MSSP better and better.

I also received a rejection and was asked to revise for over 3 months before resubmitting. After resubmitting, I received minor revisions and now I am not sure if it needs to be re-reviewed.

(0) Thank | LC6699

I resubmitted my work after it was rejected. The feedback from the second submission came back, and it requires a major revision. However, I don't need to add any new content, just explain certain parts.

I would like to ask all my friends, do we still need to show the revised version to the reviewers, or does the editor make the decision directly?

Does Xiao Xiu still need to show it to the reviewer, or does the editor decide directly?

How long does it take for a book to be accepted for publication in China?

(0) Thank | echo

@WWWANE, yes, 7 invitations, 4 accepted, 3 completed. Feels like one reviewer may have disappeared. Usually there are at least 2 reviewers, based on previous comments I've seen, with most having 2 to 4 reviewers.

(0) Thank | 安静

Is it a good thing or a bad thing for reviewers to accept invitations? Three reviewers accepted the invitation, does it mean the first reviewer declined and two more were invited?
