From March 2019 to August 2019, I organized ideas and wrote the manuscript for first submission. In August 2019, first submission. In November 2019, it underwent the first review. Revision and resubmission were required. In January 2020, the revised version was returned. In May 2020, it underwent the second review. Revision and resubmission were required. In June 2020, the revised version was returned. In July 2020, it underwent the final review. It was accepted without change. It is the first paper in TSG in my PhD and I am happy! Generally speaking, the review speed was not fast. There were three reviewers in the first review, who had very patent and sharp opinions, requiring all issues to be resolved. I worked so hard to search the literature, improve the algorithm, and supplement the simulation. The original 8-page paper was expanded to 13 pages, and each expert’s comments was replied to one by one. In the second review, two reviewers were added and there were five reviewers. The original three reviewers basically agreed to accept it, but one new reviewer proposed three comments, and another proposed six. The bad comments were more direct. In order to persuade the second new expert, I checked and supplemented references, rearranged the structure of the paper, and added new simulations and calculation examples. Finally, I resolved all the concerns and the paper reached 15 pages (nearly twice the original), so I asked the returnee teacher of the research group to help to refine and modify the language, compressed it to 14 pages and submitted it. In the end, all reviewers agreed to accept it. Looking back on the process of publishing the paper, although it was difficult, fortunately, I took it seriously and was not discouraged. In addition, during the period, I got help from my supervisor and classmates, and finally got good results. In short, my PhD career is without regret.

Manuscript received in Oct, 2018; revised in Jan, 2019 and Mar, 2019; accepted in Apr, 2019. There were 5 reviewers for the first review, and 4 for the second. It took 6 months to get accepted directly. No regrets if you can publish on a journal of this kind of level.

By the way, may I ask what does this status mean, sir?

As supplementary materials may also be returned, just submitted with 2 pages of Supplementary, passed two rounds of administrative review, the result was returned by the EIC and asked to resubmit with controlled page numbers. The EIC only allows supplementary materials to include code and original data files, other content may be viewed as alternative solutions to bypass page limits.

The appendix is included. Admin will reject if it exceeds ten pages.

Just want to ask, is the initial draft of the TSG 10 pages? Should the appendix be included in the manuscript or treated as supplementary material? Does the appendix count towards the 10-page limit?

Is it normal for a submission to remain in "under review" status for 2 months after submission? Does this mean the editor has not processed it yet or has it been sent for review?

I have an R2 paper that was also handled by the previous editor. It was online on March 2nd, but I haven't received any updates since then. It has been 20 days since I requested for an editor review.

It took me over five months to switch to AR. The submissions to TSG have been very slow since the change in editor-in-chief at the end of last year.

I would like to ask all the experts, is it normal for the submission status to remain UR after submission? How long does it generally take to go from UR to a decision? It has been four months already.

(0) Thank | wwwccckkk

Is the submission status always UR after submission?

(0) Thank | wwwccckkk

Hello, boss. I have been submitting for 4 months and it has always been in UR status. Can you please tell me the reason for this?

I have one article that was AR converted to UR on March 3rd and another one on March 14th. I saw in the previous posts that someone went EIC on March 2nd, but I don't know when it will happen again.
