It took 6 months for the first review, and a week after the minor revision, it was accepted. I don’t know where was this article in the past 6 months (and what has done during that period). After two years of postgraduate study, I have 5 “valueless” articles accepted. I am the second author in one article, and as first author in all other articles. One article was accepted by a journal in Q2, and the rest were accepted by top journals in Q1, and there are several articles which were under review. I'm going to study in third year, but I'm getting tired of scientific research. My family let me study Ph.D, but I'm afraid I'm getting tired of studying. Depending on what I learned, I don't know what to look for when I go out to work, and the salary will not be high either. I am confused. As for taking the civil service exam, someone has told me that the SCI articles are not as useful as the articles published in Chinese core journals. It really sucks.

First review lasted for one month, and under editor evaluation lasted for nearly one month. I received notification of major revisions. Two reviewers, a total of nearly 40 comments. Since this was the first SCI paper, there were many small problems, and the experts pointed them out. I feel that the OE experts were very detailed and their opinions were very professional. I carefully revised it for more than a month and wrote a response letter of more than 20 pages. I learned a lot from it, laying a good foundation for the papers I submitted in the future. After the revised submission, the second review lasted for nearly 9 months. I thought that something went wrong, or the answer did not satisfy the experts, but I finally received a notification of direct acceptance. Overall, the level of OE reviewers I met was really high, but the review cycle was a bit torture...

The first review lasted over 2 months, and the three reviewers recommended acceptance, minor revisions, and major revisions, respectively; the reviewers were of high level, and the comments were very professional and sharp, which were difficult to address; the next month I conducted simulation experiments and the revision was finally completed before the deadline; then the review lasted for another month and it was accepted. Generally speaking, it went smoothly, the reviewers were also very high-level, and they were more or less merciful.

The reviewers are very thorough and detailed in their reviews. It is the top journal of our professional field

I used the article submitted in the third attempt, I think the first two are better than the third one, but the first ones were rejected, only the last one was accepted. It was submitted at the beginning of the year and accepted last month.

Does anyone know how long the deadline for reviewers is in this journal? It's been over ten days since the reviewer accepted and there's still no news.

It's been 17 days, I guess the draw will be this week. I hope everything goes smoothly, so I can finally retire in style!

The newly added reviewer has not made any progress in reviewing for ten days... Please, please do not reject me, please do not reject me.

Brother, I just finished my five-day quarantine. How are you now? Have you been sent for review?

(0) Thank | Krystal

I would like to inquire if anyone has encountered this situation before. The first reviewer has completed the review two months ago, but we have not been able to find a second reviewer yet. Emails have been sent through the system, but it seems like they have been ignored. Is there any solution to this issue? Thank you.

It is suggested that you attach a separate reply letter, as it may not be practical to include images of typed formulas in the system.

Brother G, I think the person who finished reviewing in three days is a bit unreliable. The person who rejected me in the first round finished reviewing in just one day. Having three reviewers is beneficial for you, as long as the other two are reliable. Good luck!

Frog Fun, the first round of four reviewers!!!

Boss, in my first round of invitations, I invited 5 reviewers. Initially, two accepted and one completed the review in three days. Then, one more person accepted the review the next day! How come there are always three reviewers in the first round?

(0) Thank | Glrui

I guess it might be hard to find reviewers, so I'll give you some feedback first and then wait for other reviewers slowly.

At the end of the email was: Dr. Tahsin Tezdogan didn't let me conduct the experiment, there was just a figure from a paper, a very small subfigure. I drew it using Visio at the time, but it should have been a bit larger, which led to a misunderstanding of the network paths and channels. Then there were problems with the overall structure of the paper, nothing else.

Another new reviewer has accepted the review on 2025.04.18. Now there are a total of four reviewers. Brother from the science and engineering field, I think the editor-in-chief might be trying to speed up the process. Who is your editor-in-chief?

(0) Thank | PriscillaS

Why do I only have one reviewer? And I feel like this reviewer didn't understand my article... They asked for revisions, but the email said to upload them and a new reviewer will be assigned.

Huh? I'm still at 4.4 rating even after all the votes I've cast.

The reviewer who received it on April 16, 2025 has completed the review. Hopefully it's not a rejection. Please, please. God bless.

When did you get instantly rejected after submitting your application? I submitted mine on the 4th and still haven't heard back, it's frustrating.

(0) Thank | popopopoboboob

Boss, I was also rejected by the editor in seconds, saying it did not meet the scope of the journal. Can you submit it for review after doing this?
