I submitted an article to AIP. Why is it always “Securing Reviewer(s)”? Did the previous reviewer refuse to review it? Or does this journal just have these reviewers? It has been a month.

It was submitted to JAP. There were 2 reviewers, one gave positive comments, the other one rejected it without giving substantive comments, and the editor suggested us to transfer it to AIP Advances. Due to the need for a paper for graduation, I had nothing to do but to switch. The submission was still with editor for nearly a month, we wrote a reminding email, and it was accepter the next day.

I was anxious to publish it, so I submitted it to AIP Advances. This is an open access journal. The review speed is gratifying and the publication fee is not gratifying ($1400). Result returned after 30 days of the first review. The revised manuscript was returned 5 days later. It was accepted after 10 days of the second review. It was delayed for about 10 days due to the problem of the copyright declaration of the images. The entire submission process lasted 60 days. It is expected to be published in about 30 days. The entire process from submission to publication takes about 90 days.

Here is my struggle to publish this paper. I study electronic devices, and I have a paper submitted to APL, EDL, JAP, all rejected. At each journal, the review took  more than a month, two months at JAP. Each time there were two reviewers, who disagreed; Plus the time I spent on revising the paper and adding new experiments, it took a total of more than 9 months. Only someone who has such experience would know how hard it was. Eventually, the JAP editor suggested me to transfer it to AIP Advances. After the transfer, the AIP Advances editor found another reviewer. It took only one week for the review, and a total of only 12 days before the decision was made: accept as is. The efficiency is truly high. Although this journal is Q3, and publication is not free, I am satisfied with it because it is so fast. Finally, I strongly recommend people who want to publish soon should consider submitting here if the publication fee is not an issue. The speed is really fast (but may be because my paper was transferred there).

You're obviously just making minor adjustments, the major revision I reckon will need to be reviewed again.

(0) Thank | fjc

Can you tell if it's a major revision? I think my changes are RECOMMENDATION: Publish with mandatory revision (minor)

When registering for the submission system of AIP ADVANCES, have you encountered a situation where you need to click on a human verification at the bottom line, but the webpage does not display it at all?

Hmm, I should be a reviewer. Your paper went quite smoothly, but the key is to see the feedback from the reviewers in the next step.

Yesterday afternoon, it showed that the first reviewer was found, and then it showed that all reviewers have been confirmed. In this case, there should be only one reviewer, right?

(0) Thank | fjc

Some people seem to say that. Just take it as a psychological comfort. If you can't get the review comments quickly, just wait for the long-term battle ?. Thank it for accepting the submission after more than three months.

This journal has a high chance of acceptance as long as it undergoes external review. The only issue is the review process time.

(0) Thank | fjc

Many of us have been looking for reviewers for three months and still haven't found any. It's really frustrating.

Indeed, I sent an email inquiring about the status yesterday, and received a response early this morning, stating that several review invitations have been sent out, but no one has replied yet. It is difficult to find reviewers.

All reviewers must be found, it is not possible to give feedback directly. Next status: First Reviewer Secured, Review Started, All Reviewers Secured...

Hello, may I ask if this journal has the status of finding reviewers, or will I receive the review comments directly after securing reviewer(s) for a period of time?

(0) Thank | fjc

Are there any big shots who have recently submitted manuscripts? I want to ask, is this journal always able to secure reviewers for all submissions? Why is it that I see others skipping the step of finding reviewers, and after "Securing Reviewer(s)," the editors immediately make a decision?
