This journal releases 8 issues a year. It is IFAC (a journal under the International Control Society). It seems that the speed of this publication is quite slow. However, I feel that the speed is quite good. It took more than 4 months from submission to final acceptance. Generally speaking, there are three reviewers, and then the editor-in-chief makes the final decision. Generally, purely theoretical papers will be rejected.

This journal is too slow.

3.20 Major revision
4.9 Submission of revised manuscript
5.23 Acceptance
Overall, the editorial process was efficient, with same-day handling once it reached the editing stage. The main delays were waiting for reviewers to accept invitations and complete the peer review.

After the public account was changed to RRC, how long did it take to receive feedback? If possible, could you please let me know what the feedback was? Thank you.

The review process is too slow, resulting in a poor user experience. I hope the journal can maintain its reputation and not ruin it.

Can this journal only accept submissions in LaTeX format? Can submissions in Word format be accepted?

Although it is widely recognized in the industry, the impact factor is decreasing, and we do not know why.

Too slow. 
Submitted on 2/1/2024. 
Still no response from the editor since 2/3/2024. 
It's really unreasonable. 
Other journals we submitted behind this one have already given their feedback

It's too slow now. I submitted it in January 2024, and it's still with the editor after a month. Too slow

(0) Thank | dfg666

Much faster than I imagined, accepted after major revisions in three months. There are a total of four reviewers, all of whom have provided suggestions from theory to experiment, all very professional. The article has been greatly improved after modifications. The editor is also responsible. When the number of reviewers invited for the first review was not enough, new reviewers were invited approximately every other day.

Timeline:
Sep. 07, 2023 submit to journal
Oct. 28, 2023 revise
Nov. 27, 2023 resubmit
Dec. 13, 2023 accept
