The first SCI paper in my life! Nov 22, 2019, submitted; Nov 26, 2019, under review; Jan 10, 2020, major revision requested; Mar 01, 2020, revision completed; Apr 06, 2020, accepted for publication. It took more than one month for the first review and one month for the second review. The result of the first review was a major revision. There was a total of two reviewers, each of whom put forward 4 comments. The overall comments given by the reviewers are still relatively positive and appreciative, but they also raised more difficult issues (that I wanted to avoid discussing when doing research content). The editing speed of Dr. Murthy was still very fast. Even during the period when the epidemic was raging around the world, it was sent for review within a few days, and in the final acceptance email he also let us pay attention to our bodies, which was too cute. In short, it can be regarded as an explanation for my academic career ~ hard work will never be disappointed.

The review period for this journal is about two months from submission to acceptance. Each paper is sent to four reviewers, and then goes through a technical review if accepted. The current editor-in-chief is professional.

I am the deputy editor. If you have finished reviewing everything, then it means the editor did not come to work. There is still one more person's second review that I haven't finished.

I have been rrc for 5 days too, 3-2-2, the editor-in-chief hasn't given any feedback yet, a little worried.

It has been almost a month and a half since the second review was submitted. Waiting for the last reviewer is excruciating. I feel that my chances of being directly accepted are slim, if lucky, I may be able to make another round of revisions, or I may be rejected directly...

Brother, is there a result now?

Here is some advice for everyone: If you submit for review within a two-month period, it's best to not rush the editor. However, my situation is a bit unusual:

6.15 Submitted
6.16 Waiting for Editor/Under review
8.2 Editor sent to RRC2/3/20 (No response during the review period, contacted Elsevier customer service to urge editor to invite reviewers)
8.3-8.4 Under review (Invited twice in two days, two reviewers each time)
8.11 No response during the review period (Contacted customer service again)
8.12 Editor invited three reviewers through RRC 3/4/26, one of them rejected the manuscript in less than five minutes after accepting the review invitation, I probably knew it was going to be rejected
8.12 Decision in Progress/Waiting for Editor/rejected
Review comments before 8.2: First reviewer provided 18 comments, second reviewer provided 6 comments, both met the journal's requirements and were revisions. I didn't understand why the editor still wanted to send it for review, maybe he was not familiar with the field of the manuscript and wanted more opinions from experts. However, due to my repeated urging, he directly rejected it. The third reviewer's comment was that the manuscript lacked novelty and could not be published in this journal. Because I needed the article urgently and had an unstable mindset, I repeatedly urged the editor, which was a big problem and I hope others don't make the same mistake. I wish all of you who submit to ATE have your articles accepted soon! The editor in charge of my manuscript is Editor-in-Chief Ha.

The editor-in-chief is very kind, and when he sees unreasonable reviewers, he also speaks up.

The new RRC on August 10th is even more chaotic, hopefully there will be a recall.

Hey bros, submitted on 7.18, under review on 7.26, finally three people accepted for review. Received one on 7.28, two on 7.31, and then directly rrc. And now on 8.7, it's under review again. Has anyone experienced this situation before? What's going on, feeling anxious.

(0) Thank | GraduateASAP

Congratulations, good luck. I mainly have one rejection in the first review, two revisions and one rejection. Currently, rrc, sigh, I feel it should be very difficult.

Wow, that was fast! After accepting, may I ask how the first reviewer determines whether the manuscript should be accepted or deemed minor revisions? I did not receive a clear decision in the editor's letter.
