How can I apply for a discount?

How do you write your reminder emails? I have been waiting for one month after submitting my manuscript, and it first changed to "awaiting reports," then it changed to "Awaiting Referee Reports." I am about to graduate soon, and I am really anxious.

What was the final result, OP? Was the article accepted? I am also facing the same issue.

ZYLiu 2021-04-14

OP, what was the final outcome of your article? Did it get accepted? I'm also facing the same issue. The status of my article suddenly changed from Stage 2: Review to Stage 1: Editorial Assessment.

ZYLiu 2021-04-14

Has anyone encountered a situation where a manuscript has already reached Stage 2: Review, but after about a week, the status changed back to Stage 1: Editorial Assessment?

Seeking experiences to share, thank you!!!

May I ask if the proofreading comes first after receiving it or the payment? Can the errors in the image numbering be corrected in the proofreading process?

弘毅 2021-04-08

The editor replied, first acknowledging the research value and innovation. They provided feedback from a reviewer, with a deadline of April 22nd. One of the challenging aspects was the request to include electron microscope scanning analysis figures, while the rest were relatively easy to address.

It has been four days! How come it feels like a major repair is needed?

jww 2021-04-01

Congratulations, I wish you receive it soon. I hope I also receive news soon. It's tough for kids who are graduating. (꒦_꒦)

I am too. It has been over a month since I sent the second revision and I have not received any response. What does "awaiting referee reports" mean? What is the meaning of "OA Copyright Completion submitted"?

弘毅 2021-03-31

Boss, is there any result now? Mine has also changed its status~

弘毅 2021-03-31

My today has just been 3.31 awaiting decision.

jww 2021-03-30

Today I reminded about the draft and received the exact same reply... I feel like the reply was copied and pasted from a template.

Looking at the comments before this journal, I originally thought that the open-source would be faster. I was in a hurry to graduate and submitted MRE. Unexpectedly, it is also delayed in producing results. I feel hopeless about graduating and feel mentally exhausted.

Yesterday I just became "awaiting decision" and felt excited for a while. However, today it changed to "awaiting referee reports" again. I feel like the prospects are not looking too good.

Rebecca123 2021-03-17

After submitting this journal for review, whether or not we were able to find reviewers, it was stated as "awaiting referee report". Mine also had no progress after two months, and I didn't dare to rush it. I was quite anxious at that time... After two months, I sent an email to inquire about the status, and they replied saying that they hadn't found any reviewers yet. However, they found reviewers two days after I sent the email, so it took about two months and a week. But the reviewers were quite quick in reviewing the manuscript. Personally, I guess there were too many submissions, and the reviewers didn't agree to review, so the editor forgot to find new ones. If that's the case, I think it would be good to send a reminder email... I wish everyone a smooth graduation!

弘毅 2021-03-17

Can I ask what is the status if the reviewer is not found? Is it "manuscript received" or "awaiting referee reports"? I am also anxious to receive the paper.

Zedim 2021-03-16

I am also anxious to graduate. It has been 50 days and I still haven't found a reviewer. I'm really speechless... It's not the right time to withdraw the manuscript now, but keeping it also doesn't work. I'm really frustrated.

弘毅 2021-03-16

May I ask, when the system shows "awaiting referee reports," does it mean that the reviewers are being searched for or that the reviewers have already been found? Thank you!

2.9 Submission
3.1 Minor revision
3.8 Submit revised manuscript
3.15 Acceptance
It is really satisfying to have my article accepted so quickly by this conscientious journal, especially since I urgently needed an SCI publication for graduation. The editor was very nice and responded promptly. When I encountered problems during submission, I emailed the editorial assistant for help, and they quickly resolved the issue. This journal is suitable for those who urgently need an SCI publication for graduation. I wish the journal continued success and improvement.

ambition90 2021-03-16

It has been 34 days and the review is still ongoing. There are a few people around me who have also been waiting for over a month without any news. We originally applied because we heard it had a quick processing time, but it's taking so long. I am anxious to graduate.

Zedim 2021-03-10

To the 2nd floor, didn't you send an email to ask the editor? I sent an email to the editor a week ago and he said that he had approached several reviewers but they all declined to review it.

lycccyl 2021-03-10

Just like you, it has been over forty days for me, and there is no news at all. I don't know what to do next.

Zedim 2021-03-10

The content is related to first-principles calculations. It was submitted on January 25th, and it's been over 40 days without any response. I sent an email once to follow up, and they said they haven't been able to find a reviewer yet. I'm wondering what should I do in this situation? It's been over 40 days and they still haven't found a reviewer...
