It lasted for 11 months and underwent 2 major revisions and 1 minor revision. The journal pays attention to theoretical innovation and the review process is very rigorous. It can be seen that the reviewers are quite professional, and the questions raised are very targeted and difficult to answer. Every time we replied with dozens of pages, but I still thank the reviewers and the editor-in-chief for helping us perfecting the article over and over again.

I have two articles got accepted. The first one was submitted in 2019, and the speed was very fast. The first review took more than 2 months, and it was published after half a year. The speed for the second article was slower. It was submitted in October 2019, and a major revision was required in the first review in April 2020. The revised manuscript was submitted in May, and it was accepted after the second review in November. There were 3 reviewers in the first review and 3 more in the second review, with 6 reviewers in total.

Submission, major revision, minor revision, acceptance. The reviewers are very professional. They are indeed experts at first sight. They have sharp questions and are a professional journal with a relatively small scope. The impact factor is not very high, which may due to being a robotic journal. However, the quality of the journal is very high. It is a small top journal in the field of mobile robots and autonomous systems. With the same difficulty of acceptance, I may choose a more cost-effective journal to submit in the future.

ROBOTICS AUTON. SYST. said that the language needed big changes. Originally thought that the impact factor is low so it would be easier to submit. At the end of December 2016, I submitted. I received an editorial reply about a week later. After that, paper entered review status for about one month, and I received the review comments issued by the editor on December 31, a total of three. From the letter of reply, the editor should consider the recommended reviewers I filled out when submitting the paper. The first reviewer was not helpful, the second reviewer raised several small questions that were irrelevant, and the third reviewer asked four professional questions that were closely related to the content. When replying to the comments of reviewers, the first step is to affirm their suggestions, and then to answer in detail. Since it was my first time submitting an article, my reply letter was about 2,000 words. The website said that it was not necessary to reply immediately, so I replied in mid-March. After about 10 days, the editor replied that my paper was accepted!

Trash journal, the submission to review process lasted nearly a year, dragging on for 7 months in the hands of the editor before being sent for review.

For over two months, we failed to submit for review. We urged the editor and even the chief editor, but it was no use. Eventually, they told me around Christmas that after reading the cover letter, they found it did not fit the theme, causing a significant delay.

If there has been no update for more than one month, you can send an email to urge. The email will not be sent directly to the editor but will be relayed by the staff of Aisville.

May I ask how you found out that the journal has selected several reviewers? I have been waiting for 6 months and have updated the status twice during this time, but it is still "Under Review." I'm not sure what's going on...

(0) Thank | haoyunhappy

There are no specific requirements, anything is fine. After taking over, there will be a dedicated text editor to help you with typesetting.

(0) Thank | letpub1102

Could you please clarify if the submission format for this journal is single-column or double-column initially?

(0) Thank | qianqiu0123

How's it going, bro? I've been waiting for my work to be edited for a month now, it's getting a bit frustrating.

(0) Thank | BHTxxx

It's too slow, it's been a month and it's still in the hands of the editor... I don't understand.

(0) Thank | haoyunhappy

Hahaha, I've been waiting for eight months and still "with editor", I can't wait any longer, I have to withdraw my submission.

(0) Thank | Zucchini

I have never seen such an outrageous journal before, I suggest you withdraw your submission directly... I submitted in May last year and still haven't found a reviewer until February this year. I sent an email to urge them every month in between, but there was no response at all. It was a complete waste of time, I do not recommend submitting to this journal at all. I will never touch this journal again in my life.

There is only one reviewer invited for the journal external review. What is the reason for this? Anyone able to clarify?
