JOURNAL OF VISUAL COMMUNICATION AND IMAGE REPRESENTATION

Update:
May 8, 2022 accept
It took a month from "decision in process" to acceptance. I thought maybe the reviewers had conflicting opinions, which made the editor hesitate. However, both reviewers in the email said there were no issues, so I'm not sure why it took so long. Maybe the editor was just busy, haha.

To sum up, the journal's speed is actually not slow. The single "under review" process takes about four months, which is considered average. Normally, with one major revision, it should take around 10-11 months. However, the processes of "with editor" and "decision in process" are a bit slow, each taking one or two months. So, in the end, it took me 13 months and 7 days to get accepted after one major revision. Overall, the speed is a bit slow.

Lastly, thank you to the person above for the support. Indeed, it was not rejected. I don't know if you have submitted as well, but I wish you good luck and hope you get accepted soon.

I submitted an article in mid-August 2021. After waiting for 3 months, I sent two reminders, but there was no response. After waiting for 4 months, I sent three more reminders, but received the same robotic replies. After waiting for 5 months, I asked a friend to contact the Editor-in-Chief, and the status changed to "Decision in Process". It has been two more weeks, but it still hasn't changed... This journal is considered to be of a lower level, and it takes 5 and a half months to review a submission? What's going on? I have already had two articles accepted elsewhere after a two-month delay. Usually, our participation deadline for reviewing is only one month, and I usually reply within two weeks.

I will notify the secretary to withdraw my manuscript and submit it elsewhere. From now on, I will no longer pay attention to this journal. It has caused a lot of harm~
