The submission speed of this journal was slightly slow. The first draft was submitted on May 29 this year; the first review was quite quick and it took 50 days. The result came out in less than two months and major revision was required. It was resubmitted after 15 days of revision. It was a little slow; the result came out in 3 months and minor revision was required. It was resubmitted after 5 days of revision, and the notice of acceptance was released in only one day (November 21). It was a very good journal, the reviewers were very professional, and the questions were very detailed. Editor-in-chief professor Lihui-Wang was very serious and responsible. Therefore, the self-rate of this journal was relatively low, you can cite more articles from this journal when you submit your manuscript. I cited 5 articles.

The first review ended after 7 weeks. Then major revision was requested and revised manuscript was returned after 7 weeks; It took 8 weeks for the second review, and minor revision was requested, and revised manuscript was returned after 3 weeks; After the revision submission, the reviewers didn’t agree to review until 6 weeks later. And then it was accepted in about 1 week. The review comments were quite professional, and the review turnaround time was very long. The impact factor of the journal has risen rapidly in the past three years, and if you are not in a hurry, it worth trying.

It took three months for the first review and three months for the second review, for a total of more than six months to be accepted. There were a lot of opinions in the first review. Only one reviewer in the second review made a suggestion and then I revised. After that, paper was accepted. The first time I submitted to this journal a few years ago, I was immediately rejected by the editor, and now I am finally accepted. But compared to other journals, the process is still really super slow.

When the RCIM journal sends the review comments, will the editor-in-chief send emails to all authors or just to the corresponding author?

(0) Thank | Happy

After submitting the manuscript, I received a revision email one month later, and the system status was "Revise." The editor-in-chief is very responsible, and the revised manuscript was processed within an hour of submission. The revised manuscript was accepted directly after the second review. The reviewers' comments were also very professional and greatly improved the quality of the article. Overall, the submission experience was good, and I wish RCIM continued success in the future.

How long does it usually take from "with editor" to "under review"?

A good engineering and technology journal.

For journals with a large proportion of Chinese readers, those who understand, understand.

It's hard to say about this journal. Others say it's a good journal, but personally I think it's just a pure circle journal. I submitted two papers to RCIM and they were rejected for not being in the right field, but when I submitted them to another journal, they were accepted. Today, I checked the literature and found that there are many articles in the field from RCIM in recent years, and the overall quality is very poor! I won't even mention the fact that they just copied the previous work in computer vision (just by looking at the images, I can easily identify the method as being copied from a few papers from ICCV and CVPR). Some papers don't even have a face, and it can be said that there is no innovation at all. Even the most basic engineering modeling process can be published in RCIM.

The overall speed was acceptable, with two reviewers and two rounds of minor revisions.

Reviewer 1 had more questions in the first round, but accepted the revisions after they were addressed.

Reviewer 2 asked a few generic questions in the first round, which seemed to be generated by GPT. After the revisions, they asked a variety of different questions in the second round (seeming to be more thorough in the second round).

After the second round of revisions, the paper was quickly accepted.

Experiments are necessary and this journal prefers industrial experiments. If there are no experiments or the experiments do not pass, it is recommended not to waste time on this journal.

Submitted for two days and rejected, reason being that it does not align with the direction. Not too bad, at least it wasn't dragged out before being rejected.
