An article was just accepted. I will share something for your reference. I hope that all your manuscripts will be accepted. Four reviewers, 2 minor revision comments of the first review were simple. 2 minor revision comments of the second review were sharp. It took more than a month to revise and supplement the new comparison algorithm. All four reviewers recommended acceptance in the second review. 09-Oct-2019 Submitted to IEEE Cybernetics; 09-Oct-2019 Awaiting Administrator Processing; 15-Oct-2019 Under Review; 09-Jan-2020 With Associate Editor; 14-Jan-2020 Awaiting EIC Decision; 14-Jan-2020 Revision-Regular Paper; 06-Feb-2020 Under Review; 22-Mar-2020 With Associate Editor; 02-Apr-2020 Awaiting EIC Decision; 08-Apr-2020 Accept as Regular Paper; 13-Apr-2020 Copyright transferred.

Articles submitted in June 2018; Review comments received in July 2019, and it is a rejection. Let me talk about my personal feelings. I was submitting to this journal for the first time. The review was too slow and we encountered unprofessional reviewers... First, the reviewing speed is really too slow. It lasted for 13 months. Generally, the students in school can't afford to wait, but fortunately I have graduated. However, such a long review cycle will seriously affect the publication of the paper, because everyone knows that the direction of artificial intelligence is developing rapidly. Second, there were only two reviewers’ comments, and the first one accepted it with minor revisions required. The second one rejected it, and asked some strange questions. Then the editor directly rejected my article. Third, I just want to say something about the reviewer that rejected our article, who asked a lot of unprofessional questions, and obviously not experts in the field of artificial intelligence deep learning. For example, there are many inexplicable questions about the position of the BN layer in the experiment, why the cross-validation evaluation is not used, and why the number of training rounds and batches set like this. Some important questions were also asked, but the article had already discussed and explained them in detail. The level of reviewers can be imagined by everyone. . . The above is for reference only! Hope everyone will publish more high-level papers!

I have just completed a work and currently been organizing materials and preparing for submission. I just saw a few journals that the 38th floor mentioned, thinking that we have so many choices in the direction of cybernetics. Then I checked them one by one, but ... why CA, NEJM, Lancet, JAMA are all entirely medical journals! ! ! ! ! None of them are of cybernetic field! ! ! ! You are researching in computer, how can you talk about others? There is no need to fight for it. Don't speak too harshly. Everyone should share things like review cycle, difficulty, acceptance direction, etc. Our laboratory mentors generally require us considering IEEE T-ac, Automatica, and this journal in order for good research results. The first two publications were established for so long a time, and they are our best journals. This one is relatively new, but grows quickly. At present, it is indeed a good journal in our direction. I don’t know very well about other directions, but everyone, come on! I wish all masters and doctors graduate successfully, and don’t be bald, ha ha!

First review took more than 18 months, mainly because the two reviewers were irresponsible and delayed the review. In the end the reviewers might have been replaced. The first reviewer didn’t give too critical comments and suggested revision and re-submission; the second reviewer suggested acceptance after minor revisions, while the third reviewer sent back the wrong review comments, which were about another article (the comments were mostly on problems in writing figures, but my paper did not have those problems). The third reviewer’s suggestion was to revise and re-submit. After more than a month, I got from the editor the third reviewer's correct comments, and those comments were not hard to address. The editorial decision was to revise and re-submit. We have submitted the revision and are hoping to have good results. I hope the reviewers can be more responsible; after all, this is a TOP journal!

Congratulations! Has the second reviewer finished reviewing the manuscript? How many days did it take for the second review with the Associate Editor to yield results?

How long did it take for you to receive the feedback from the first review? It's been almost 8 months for me, but I'm too afraid to rush them.

(0) Thank | Miyukii

In mid-January, the old system showed UR for my submission, and in mid-March, it showed with AE. The with AE status has remained unchanged for a month now. Has anyone else experienced the same situation?

Do you know where to resubmit the rejected submission?

(0) Thank | moxiyana

The first submission rejection and resubmission will take about 3 months for review, the second and third reviews will each take about 2 months, and new reviewers will be added for each round. When will IF be able to return to 10?

Mine too, maybe the editor is busy.

Can I ask you all, when I submitted my first article, it only took two days to move from "Awaiting Administrator Processing" to the "Assigned AE" stage. However, now it has been half a month since I submitted my revised version, but it is still in the "Awaiting Administrator Processing" status. Why is that?

(0) Thank | 卷心菜uaaa

What should we do? I'm worried.

(0) Thank | 彭云峰

It's been 70 days and I'm still UR in both the old and new systems. What's going on? Even a guy who submitted half a month after me has been rejected, but I'm still UR.

(0) Thank | 彭云峰

The feeling still depends on the speed of the reviewers. There will definitely be new reviewers added. I have been waiting for almost three months.

(0) Thank | bcda11

May I ask how long it took for the revised submission to be reviewed after you resubmitted the rejected manuscript? It has been almost five months since I returned it on November 6th and I am starting to feel a bit worried. Thank you for your response.

After the rejection and resubmission, feedback came back with one reviewer requesting that the innovation points be restated. The Associate Editor (AE) said that the current version is acceptable and does not need to be reviewed again by the AE or the reviewer. However, the authors need to ensure that the contribution of the paper is included in the final review. The Editor-in-Chief (EIC) provided a modification, but after submitting the revisions, it has been showing "Under Review" for 3 weeks. Is the likelihood of rejection high?

(0) Thank | bcda11

How do I deal with the old system I invested in on the new system without an account? I invested on 3.3 and it is still under review on 3.26.

(0) Thank | goingon

Submitted on the 24th, after the check was completed and an email was sent, it immediately showed as "UR". Is this normal? Can't we check if there are any specific "WE" or not?
