The article was submitted in March. In April, I received the review comments, and major revision was required. And then, it took two months for revision. There were two reviewers, one of them didn’t understand my article very well, and accepted it directly after minor revision; the other one was an expert in related field, who raised more than 30 comments, which hit the nail on the head. Especially the entry point and the review part are completely denied and required to be rewritten. After replying one by one, one reviewer accepted directly, and the other one required to make minor revision and continue supplementing the content. The editor accepted it directly after minor revision. Generally speaking, it is a time-honored journal, and related references are also in this journal. However, the impact factor is truly not high. But the review is fast, and it is relatively professional, and the editor is also not tardy.

It took 108 days from submission to acceptance. It took 23 days for the first review. Reviewer 1 recommended "Resubmitting after revised", thinking that the article had no technical innovation and no logical structure. Reviewer 2 raised a number of technical issues and the evaluation was very positive. I think review 1 did not understand my article, and briefly introduced the content and background points in the reply. Review 2’s comments were normal replies. In the second review comments, review 2 said it was OK. Review 1 thought that the technology was indeed innovative, but the English was poor, and the logic was not good (in fact, I had polished the manuscript before submission). With the idea that "the reviewers are all right", I addressed the comments carefully one by one, and made substantial additions and deletions to the article. What’s more, I changed a lot of subtitle of the article. Review 1 sent back comments in a day. But the associate editor kept it for about 10 days before returning it to me, then required minor revisions on language and pointed out a general outline. I continued to modify and send the manuscript back. Then decision of the fourth review was received. I changed one sentence and one word. The associate editor agreed to accept in approximately 7 days after submission. Feelings: I provided 5 reviewers, three of whom are foreigners. The characteristic of review 1 was that the questions he raised were too general to deal with, and new questions came out after the correction, which were more cumbersome. Half of the 108 days were spent on the operation of the associate editor. It may be busy around the summer vacation. Only late at night on weekends was the operation sent for review or revision emails. The quality of the article has been greatly improved, thanks!

My first article was relatively bumpy. It experienced rejection and resubmission, and got accepted after a total of 341 days. Each step will be listed in detail in the status, letting you know what progress the article is currently in. Initial submission: Submitted on October 19, 2016, and 2 reviewers assigned on November 23. The review speed is not bad. Both comments came back on December 10. I got a Decision Letter on December 15. One rejection, one major revision. The editor rejected it and agreed a resubmission after revision. Resubmission: manuscript resubmitted on March 12, 2017, 2 reviewers assigned on March 24, the two review comments returned on April 5, and Decision Letter received on April 13. One major revision and one minor revision. The editor gave us 2 months for us to modify. Continued to submit: May 14, 2017, revised manuscript returned; May 22, sent to a reviewer. It should be the one requiring major revision. June 21, the review comments returned; June 26, the Decision Letter received, and it still required a major revision in the comments, and we got 2 months for revision. Still need to submit: The revised manuscript was returned on August 21, 2017. Maybe the reviewer in the last review didn’t respond. The editor had been looking for additional reviewers, and finally found the reviewer on September 15. Review comments returned on September 20, and it was accepted on September 25. After going through ups and downs, fortunately, it was finally accepted.

The review speed is relatively fast, and the first round of review is returned one and a half months after submission. Two reviewers, one recommended “publish as is”, the other: “reconsider after revisions”, the editor did not give advice. The second reviewer's comments were very detailed, and 10 comments were made on everything from the literature to the experiment to the level of detail. The revision took 20 days. After 10 days, the second review came back, and the second reviewer gave a rejection. The reason was that there was no comparison with existing products. (The layer master and the reference sample were compared, and there is no product of the same type.) This reviewer also noted the lack of a thermal vacuum environment test (the main article focuses on the improvement of the mechanical properties of the prototype, not only in aerospace applications, but also in the laboratory and does not have environmental test conditions available). In short, I feel that the reviewer 2 did not read this article and the deputy editor finally gave the rejection. The process lasted 3 months.

The comments from the first reviewer have been returned for 3 days, but the second reviewer has not been found yet, causing anxiety.

During the days when you were acting as the deputy editor, it has been a week now, and nothing has changed.

It took 13 days to review, hoping to meet lenient reviewers and lenient editors.

It has been 5 days already, in the same state as you. Remember how things are going now.

The status has been stuck at Associate Editor Review for a week. It used to be reviewed very quickly before. I wonder if it's because there are too many submissions during graduation season.

Please translate the following passage into English: Write casually.

Please recommend at least three reviewers yourself. How did everyone recommend them? Can you use acquaintances? What if you have no suitable reviewers to recommend? You must fill in three reviewers when submitting your manuscript.

My two reviewers, the first one has been unresponsive for 44 days. The editor sent an apology letter, but there has been no follow-up.

It seems that there is no specific Word template required, just a regular Word document will do. Please pay attention to the format of the references.

Did your manuscript stop here directly? Did the editor find a reviewer to review it, or did the editor reject it?

(0) Thank | 等待录取可以吗

This has not been submitted for review. I think it will probably be rejected.

I just submitted to the Associate Editor Review - peer review has started. Following the usual submission process, I suggest looking for the next opportunity.
