The review process is as fast as ever, and I am very grateful to editor Michael Fowler for handling it so quickly. The important milestones are as follows:
- Submitted initial draft, and the next day it was under review.
- After about 15 to 16 days, it showed that the required reviews were completed.
- Around 10 days later, the review comments came back for major revisions, with 5 reviewers (it seems like one major revision and four minor revisions).
- It took about half a month to make the revisions and write a response of over 60 pages to the reviewers.
- The revised manuscript was accepted by the editor overnight.
- Altogether, it took about one and a half months.

Currently, this journal does not allow line numbering for initial submissions, but line numbering needs to be added for revised submissions. This is because the manuscript was returned twice due to this issue, so it is important to take note of it.

Important time nodes are as follows (personal situation, for reference only):
2021.02.25 Submitted to journal
2021.02.27 with editor
2021.03.10 under review
2021.04.18 major revision Three reviewers provided 28 revision comments, questioning the problem modeling, theoretical methods, and case simulation, etc. The paper underwent major revisions, which was indeed a painful process, but greatly improved the quality of the paper. The editor gave one month for revisions, but due to the heavy workload, an additional half-month extension was requested, and the overall revision took nearly one and a half months.
2021.05.27 Revised version R1 submitted, with editor a few days later
2021.06.26 major revision Two reviewers had no comments, while the other reviewer provided 12 revision comments. The revisions took nearly one month.
2021.07.23 Revised version R2 submitted, with editor the next day
2021.08.22 Accept, be transferred to the production department

This partition was updated in December this year. At least based on the impact factor, it is still a second-tier.

一只工科女 2021-08-14

My current status is "decision in process" for a few hours, and a few hours later it will be "with editor".

一只工科女 2021-08-12

It has been three months and it is not normal. You can write a reminder letter now.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences' zone classification is really rubbish. Last year, the impact factor was 3.7, and this year it increased to 6.58. However, they still only labeled it as zone 4 in the upgraded version. The zone classification of the Chinese Academy of Sciences lacks any credibility.

Bboy-Logic 2021-08-10

May I ask, FDU2019 user, has the status of your article changed after "decision in process"?

张青峰 2021-08-08

The impact factor is increasing rapidly, and it will become increasingly difficult. Keep up the good work!

From January of this year, I submitted my work and went through more than 10 rejections, big and small. However, the final outcome was still very good. I have learned a lot from these rejections and reflected on my own shortcomings. Keep up the good work, fellow researchers~

My reconsideration has two minor issues. The editor made some small revisions and returned it four days later. Why is it being reviewed again... I have a foreboding feeling.

吴jtt 2021-08-04

How are you doing now, brother?

吴jtt 2021-08-04

Two reviewers, the first one recommended major revisions, and the second one suggested minor revisions. One reviewer agreed to accept the manuscript immediately, while the other pointed out two errors in the details. After four days, the revised manuscript was resubmitted, expecting the editor to accept it directly. However, it is now under review again... I feel really anxious. I hope the editor won't seek another reviewer for reevaluation...

Submitted at the end of April, received submission comments in May, accepted in July. Overall, it was not bad and provided helpful suggestions for improvement. Finally, I would like to ask everyone which quartile this journal belongs to.

FDU2019 2021-07-02

I would like to ask, how many days does it usually take for a decision in process? It has been 3 days already with no changes, is this a good sign?

edawe 2021-07-02

Is it normal for it to still be in the editing stage after about three months?

appleman 2021-06-22

The editor took a whole month, under review for over a month, required reviews completed in ten days. There were five reviewers, with four suggesting revisions and one rejecting it. Ultimately, the editor decided to reject it. The comments from all five reviewers were not difficult to address, indicating that the rejecting reviewer was evidently inexperienced, and the reasons for rejection were not convincing. An email has been sent to the editor appealing for a chance to resubmit the rejected manuscript. This journal is indeed becoming more difficult, with high expectations for manuscript quality.

Oh my god, finally got hired after going through so much trouble.

Today, I received the acceptance for the application submitted on January 18th. It was accepted on June 15th after undergoing a major revision in between.

Holicool 2021-06-10

5.25 submission, still no response, so slow.

wulalalalala 2021-05-27

I submitted it in January and received the first round of review comments in March. It required major revisions. Two out of three reviewers had a lot of constructive feedback, while one was not very helpful. It took me a month to make the revisions and I returned it on April 24th. The next day, it was marked as "under review" again. It has been over a month now and the status date has changed twice. I assume there is still one reviewer who hasn't provided their feedback, or maybe it has been sent to a new reviewer. In any case, the outcome is still uncertain.

但求一过 2021-05-27

About two months after submission, the first major revision was made. The three reviewers provided numerous comments. One month later, the first round of revisions was completed. Another month passed, and the first two reviewers had no further comments, but the third one held on and provided five or six additional comments. Following the first comment, a small section explaining the reliability of the data was added. The subsequent comments required several explanations. The final comment stated that the paper needed a comprehensive technical revision, such as improving the English and adding more information to the charts and graphs. It felt a bit disheartening and difficult to address. Nonetheless, it took a week to make the necessary changes and a 7-page response letter was written to the reviewers. After the revisions were submitted, the status changed to "Under Review" within a day. The outcome is uncertain at the moment, but it is estimated that results will be announced within one to two weeks. Sigh, it's hard to determine the level of hope in this situation.

小菜一枚 2021-05-26

The speed is too slow. When I submitted, it stayed with the editor for a month, and I don't understand why it takes so long to stay in the editing process. Then, after a month, it finally changed to "under review" status. After another month, I received the reviewer's comments and needed major revisions, with a month's time given. After submitting the revisions, it was with the editor again for two days, and then there was no further progress. It's too slow. Other journals I submitted to were either under review quickly or gave a direct response. This speed is a bit slow.
Submission to first review: 1 month, first review to revisions: 1 month, revisions to submission: 1 month, subsequent progress is currently unknown.

The projected mid-year updated impact factor for the year 2021 is expected to reach 6.4!

螃蟹壳 2021-05-09

On the day of submission with the editor;
24 days required for reviewers to complete;
In another 7 days, minor revisions, with a total of over ten comments from 3 reviewers;
7 days for revisions;
Accepted the next day.

Review process was fast.

shao_xia 2021-04-25

The first review result is expected to be available in about a month, with three reviewers suggesting revisions before considering acceptance. Major revisions are required. After two to three weeks, the manuscript is sent back for further revisions. Three months later, it is still under review, and the reviewing process seems to be significantly slower. Then, a reminder letter was sent to the editor, who replied that the manuscript is currently under review and will be expedited. Within a week, the "under review" status ended and returned to the editor. About a week later, the editor notified that the manuscript has been accepted. Currently, preparations for publication are underway. The journal is expected to have a significant impact, as it is frequently submitted to by prominent researchers both domestically and internationally. However, it has been noticed recently that the review efficiency has slowed down, possibly indicating higher expectations.
