The second submission to Medical Physics. Our research group has submitted several papers before, and the review process is generally as follows: Under Consideration - Editorial Office; Initial QC Started; Initial QC Complete; Under Consideration - Editorial Office; Under Consideration – Editor; Under Review; Under Consideration – Editor; Under Review; Under Consideration – Editor; Under Review; Editorial Evaluation – Editor; Decision Letter Being Prepared; Decision Sent. But this submission magically returned to the previous status of Under Consideration-Editorial Office after the third Under Review. I am very confused about the current state of the manuscript. If you have similar experiences, please let me know! Thank you!

The review speed is fast, as long as the innovation is guaranteed, and it was revised according to the reviewer’s opinion, it should be possible to be accepted.

Medical image processing field. First review was for 4 weeks, and major revision another 4 weeks. After minor revision, it was accepted. As an established journal, it is of high recognition in the field.

This journal focuses on image processing combined with clinical applications. In general, reviewers are very concerned about the practical applications of your method, while paying attention to the problems and improvements in the practical application of the discussion. The second review was also nearly a month, and then finally my paper was accepted; it was not an easy process overall.

It has been three months since the second round of revisions was sent back. I have been unable to locate the reviewer for the email reply. Can the editor directly review and make a decision, or is there any other way? Brothers, I'm in a rush!

The journal submission process is as expected. Does anyone know how long the second review will take? It has been over a month for me now.

The same UR has replied to the email saying that they couldn't find any reviewers. May I ask if there have been any developments since then?

(0) Thank | miixnon

Are there any students who have been stuck in "under review" and have emailed to inquire, only to receive a reply saying that they cannot find a reviewer? What should be done in this situation?

From submission, major revision, minor revision, acceptance takes about 120 days.

Yes, the AE stage has been completed by the reviewers, and the editors are currently reviewing the manuscript. As a general guideline, if the initial review stage takes only a few hours from the Editorial Evaluation - Associate Editor to the Editorial Evaluation - Deputy Editor, it likely means that the reviewers have recommended rejection. The editors process rejections quickly. However, if the review process takes a long time, it indicates that the reviewers have not recommended rejection, and the editors are still reviewing the manuscript.

Hello teacher, I would like to ask a question. Currently, my manuscript status has changed from UR to AE (it has been 25 days), does this mean the review process is completed?

The submission involves developing a new computer-aided diagnosis method that combines images with artificial intelligence algorithms. The review process usually takes less than a month, so it is very fast. The editor rejected the submission but provided over 20 suggestions for revisions in hopes of resubmission. After being under review, there were over 40 comments from two reviewers and the associate editor. There was one major revision and three minor revisions before finally being accepted after 200 days.

Hello, what is the current status now?

(0) Thank | 顺利毕业oko

Is your rejection from the editor-in-chief or from the associate editor?

It has been two months since I submitted it, and it is still under review.

Submitted in March, received the first major revision in May, the second major revision in July after revising, and rejected in November. What's ridiculous is that the reviewer said "done well job", but the editor said it wasn't good enough. Can't help but laugh!
