7.8, submitted to journal; 7.9, with editor; 7.22, under review; 9.2, under review; 9.23, major revision; 10.9, revision submitted to journal; 10.10, with editor; 10.11, under review; 10.29, under review; 11.11, minor revision; 11.12, revision submitted to journal; 11.13, under review; 11.25, accept. If you submit to this journal, you should prepare yourself well in the mind that at least half a year was needed. Mine took more than 4 months, but it was a slow one among the articles I have submitted for time being. I feel that the editor Yu of Monash University processed quickly every time, and the time given to the reviewers may be too long. There were two reviewers in the first review, one minor revision, and the other one may be major revision. There were 6 questions in total, and all of them were professional. In fact, three of the questions were the ones that I wanted to avoid at first. The editor required major revision. In the second review, the first reviewer accepted it and the second one required minor revision and said that the number of one figure was wrong. I thought it was accepted directly after the submission of the revision, but unexpectedly, the editor sent it for review again. But this time it was OK which took less than two weeks.

The manuscript was submitted on July 22, 2019. I urged it in one month and a half and didn’t receive any reply; it was still under review. It was sent for external review in more than two months (after submission). It was sent for external review twice, I felt that the reviewers found didn’t gave comments. I kept waiting after the manuscript was sent for review again. Until October 25, the article was rejected. Three reviewers: Insufficient innovation, this is no way. As for the comments of the other two reviewers, I personally thought that they did not seem to understand, or did not know how to get some data, so the suggestions given made me very speechless. Having seen so many similar articles about fluidized bed numerical simulation in Physical Therapy, I personally thought that everyone’s article is not very innovative. To some data, if the right reviewer is not found, he really can’t understand it! It maybe that the impact factor has risen this year, so it is more difficult. There was no problem with the grammar of the article, and it was not polished after writing. The reason for rejection was mainly because of (lacking in) innovation, and the impact factor had increased. It took 3 months in total, and now I am facing a lot of pressure to graduate! I have given up the journals in Q3 and decide to submit the manuscript to the journals in Q4. I had a dream at the beginning, but then I didn’t care anymore. Everything was for me to graduate. Finally, I feel that everyone is talking about innovation. It is better to see whether the articles in the past have great innovations, and whether the current articles are very different from the previous ones, and the analysis points are different. Ah! Hurry up and submit the manuscript to a journal in Q4.

Submitted on September 30, with editor on October 3, rejected on October 31. The reason for rejection was as follows: We have received your manuscript. However, the quality of the English grammar does not meet the standards for Powder Technology and your submission, in its current form, would be unable to receive a judicious assessment based solely on its technical merits. Because of this, we must reject your submission. The reason for rejection is a bit interesting.

My overall impression of this journal: The post-review time is longer, the first review round is OK, the overall feeling is that your paper requires comprehensive research, and the requirements for innovation are not particularly high, though; shouldn’t be extremely difficult to get accepted to this journal.

I give up, after waiting for almost a month, it turns out that your submission is not suitable for this issue of the journal. Thank you for submitting your work and giving me the opportunity to consider it. I have reviewed your manuscript and I believe it is better suited for a journal that focuses more on the research and applications cited in this paper. Therefore, I regret to inform you that it will not be published in the Powder Technology journal.

Speechless, I have been waiting for almost half a month, and then a technical review said there were no page numbers and contact details for the author...

I submitted on June 26th, received "with editor" on the 29th, and it's been almost 20 days now, still "with editor". Is everyone else experiencing this speed? In March, I had an article accepted much faster than this.

How did this turn red? Does anyone know what's going on?

The results are in, we have sent the article to around 20 reviewers, and it has been accepted. The process was indeed very long, all we can do is be patient and wait. The editorial processing speed is quite fast, but it was quite frustrating that we couldn't invite reviewers for a long time.

Have you received the results now? When will the editors start inviting reviewers again?

Has anyone pushed for the submission deadline, and did the editor respond?

Did you remind the editor? It's troublesome if we don't invite the reviewers.

One month for the first review, rejected in two months.

It took over a month for the submission to be sent for review. Only two reviewers were invited in the first batch, and now almost half a month has passed with no reviewer accepting. The editor has not invited any new reviewers either. I am truly frustrated.

The first month, someone accepted the review and completed it, and then there was no movement at all.
