My first manuscript submitted to Physica is undergoing the peer review. It was submitted on December 28th, 2018. The comments of first review returned on March 25th, 2019. I sent it back after I revised the manuscript for two months. The comments of second review returned on August 6th, 2019. I revised the manuscript for a month and submitted it. From then on, the status has been under review. I feel very nervous! I hope for a good result. I will share the submission process in real time, for everyone to refer to.

The review speed of the first review is still very fast, about a one month to get initial feedback.

After the previous reviewer finished reviewing, we waited for a long time. Yesterday, we invited three more reviewers.

Did you submit it for review later?

The quickest submission, rejected on the same day due to the theme not meeting the journal's requirements (submitted on 5.13).

The submission was made on May 5th, and now it's been two months. Six reviewers were sent the manuscript, but only one agreed to review it. Now it's being delayed and not moving forward. How long do we all have to wait? Will it be faster to send it via email?

I have nominated six reviewers for the past two months, but only one has agreed to review. So far, there has been no response. This journal is so slow!!!!

I have been submitting for two months, sending to 5 reviewers, but still no one has reviewed it. What should I do? Are there any similar classmates?

Today's submission was rejected by the editor at 4 o'clock, just two hours after submission. It was really fast. My teacher asked me to submit it, to be honest, this journal is not really related to my paper. But my teacher asked me to give it a try. I am really grateful to the editor. The speed is amazing.

Submitted on February 16th, accepted on May 17th, I feel the review process was very fast. The manuscript was under review on the same day it was submitted. During the second review, I accidentally forgot to upload the response to the author's comments, but the editor reminded me responsibly. This journal is very nice and did not disappoint in the second-tier category.

Why can't the articles from this journal published in March be retrieved by WoS?
