Overall, the editor can be considered as not pushy but very diligent, with a very good attitude.

Can I ask the OP what the result was?

(0) Thank | Thanhan

OP, you are so efficient! You returned the first round of feedback in just one month. Is it just minor revisions?

(0) Thank | Thanhan

I have also been waiting for the review for 4 months, not sure what's going on. Can I ask if you have asked the editor during the 4-month wait, and what is the reason for the delay?

This journal under review is undergoing external review.

Self-answering, plagiarism check is just a routine operation, R1 should mean the first round of plagiarism check. Currently, the paper should still be in the hands of the assistant, not yet in the hands of the editor.

This should not be a specific signal, because the journal provides a template, and the template does not include illustrations in Word, which are uploaded separately. In my round of comments, the editor also provided formatting suggestions or reminders, such as submitting the engineering application section, and adding supplementary materials in Word. These are all things that the journal website has mentioned.

One round of review took four months, with 3 reviewers providing a total of 37 comments. The revised manuscript was resubmitted on 20241216. On 20241217, the revision was submitted to the journal and the Similarity Check Results showed 11% similarity with R1. I remember that there was no similarity check in the first round of review, so is it done only after the editor is prepared to accept the manuscript?

Under review does not distinguish between external and internal review. The submission becomes "under review" the day after it is submitted, and then two months later, it is rejected by the editor. It seems like a desk rejection is the quickest option. It's been two months and it hasn't even been sent for external review.

In the category B of engineering management journals in FMS, there is only one A and six B. So the journal has a good reputation, but the outcome is unknown. I hope to receive valuable comments from the reviewers.

The first trial gave a revise for review and also requested to organize the layout, extract the charts separately, and so on. Is this a positive signal?

May I ask if I have been hired? How long is the revised review time?

Internal audit and external audit are both UR, without making specific distinctions.

OP, may I ask whether the journal "under review" after being submitted means it is sent for external review or internal review by the editor?

On March 10th, submitted;
On March 12th, under review;
On May 5th, revise for re-review.
There were three reviewers, one rejected the submission, one had a good attitude, and one had a neutral attitude.
The revision time is 45 days, hoping everything goes smoothly.
