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.

It's all the same, it's been almost a month and a half since the external review, and no one has agreed to review the manuscript yet. Currently, seven reviewers have been invited.

Please translate the following paragraph into English:

"我喜欢在周末和朋友一起去户外郊游，感受大自然的美丽和宁静。我们会带着野餐篮子和毯子，找一个草地或者森林里悠闲地度过一天。在这样的时刻，我感到非常放松和幸福。"

Do any friends know what's going on with PT now? Why does the editor keep re-inviting the same reviewers among those invited? For example, they sent out invitations to 5 reviewers a month ago, and then every two or three days they re-invite one of these 5 reviewers, today it's 1 and 4, tomorrow it's 2 and 3. It's been one or two months already, if these 5 reviewers had agreed to review, they would have accepted it long ago, so why keep re-inviting them? Are there no other suitable reviewers? This is the first time I've encountered this situation, I don't understand this behavior.

Another change occurred on April 12th, where we invited a new reviewer. However, no reviewer has accepted the review yet. It's really slow, to be honest.

Oh no, the editor-in-chief is also in the same direction as me...

Could you please let me know which editor is in charge? I am also planning to submit this, but I have heard that the response time is quite slow.

I remembered it wrong, it's been about eight months.

After being hired for five months, the second reviewer, who was finally found, disappeared during the second review. The editor decided to accept the paper directly. It fell into the second tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is not in the top tier. It is quite in line with the current situation. This also marks a more or less conclusion to my graduate student career.

Excuse me, is there no "ur" section? Do we go straight to "rc" after "we"?

Using tracking plugins, if the date changes, it means editing and inviting reviewers. The editor is very responsible, inviting every two or three days, just repeatedly inviting from the already invited list. It's very strange, why is it like this? Could it be that the editor and the reviewers have a conflict, and must have the selected reviewers review? Or is it that only these few reviewers are in the PT reviewer pool?

Blood loss, the impact factor dropped when submitting the manuscript, unable to find reviewers, it took almost a year for the review process, and even after acceptance, it's not top-ranked for just a few months. What's wrong with this journal!

It's the same. My current editor is not inviting new reviewers. Instead, they keep repeating invitations to the same reviewers who have already been invited. So far, not a single reviewer has accepted. It has been a month since the external review started, and I am really worried that these reviewers will get annoyed by the repeated invitations and just reject the invitation directly. There are so many reviewers, why not invite a few more? For example, CEJ keeps inviting new reviewers as long as no one accepts the invitation. This way of handling reviews is truly torturous.

Just look at the picture directly, similar to the experience sharing below. Entered external review on 3.12, still no reviewer agrees to review the manuscript. It requires patience to submit to this journal, hoping for a good result before graduation in June.
