After consulting with the editor, it was learned that it takes about six weeks for publication and indexing.

The text translates to: "There are two reviewers in the first review, one of whom agrees very much and has no objections, while the other reviewer requires major revisions. The second review took two and a half months, with the decision in progress for 20 days. Today, it suddenly changed to 'Under Review.' What does that mean?"

The status is still under review, and the due date has changed from 8.5 to 9.5. What is this situation?

山野 2022-09-07

Could you please confirm if the email received is the one with the article number? I haven't received it, but the status shows "with editor." Does this mean the submission was successful?

Under review until now for a whole month, I have not received any follow-up emails. What is going on? I have only received emails from the SSRN platform.

Are you no longer submitting it for review after this major revision?

It seems to be over $1,000, as stated on the official website. If it is a transfer, it will also be mentioned in the email.

May I ask how much is the page fee for this journal?

I personally feel that there should be at least one reviewer accepting the review before a tracking link can be sent.

The content is about information science, and my specialization is in the energy field. This is the second article in this field, which can be considered as interdisciplinary. The main contribution of the article is to explain why some journal articles have more impact without much change in impact factor and self-citation rate, or even higher impact factor, while some journals face unfortunate circumstances.

There were three reviewers, two of whom completed the review. One reviewer highly praised the article, while the other raised some methodological issues and areas that needed further supplementation, resulting in minor revisions overall.

The answers and modifications were completed within five days and were likely sent directly back to the original reviewer. There was a period of time before receiving the final acceptance.

Overall, it went smoothly and the efficiency was relatively high. It is possible that the positive response to the first article I published in the same field contributed to the smoother process of this second article.

I would like to inquire: When will a tracking email be sent to all authors when the paper is under review? Currently, neither the corresponding author nor any other authors have received it, and it has been 20 days.

The speed is too slow, it has been a month since the decision is in process.

Close to 6 months, the progress was not very fast, but the reviewers were very responsible. Hopefully, by the end of the year, it can be published in the third district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Does anyone know how long it takes for this magazine to be indexed by SCI after it is accepted, and to issue a retrieval certificate?

泉鱼 2022-08-22

The sender of the email is no-reply@submissions.elsvier.com. However, the signature of the email is Journal Office of Heliyon.

头哥 2022-08-21

Thank you, may I ask if the email is sent by the official heliyon?

泉鱼 2022-08-21

I have gone through two rounds of revisions so far. My experience is that after under review, whether or not the reviewers agree with the review, I always receive a tracking email. The tracking email will indicate how many review invitations the editor has sent out, how many people have accepted the invitation, and how many people have completed the review.

The time for the under review manuscript has been updated twice, but I haven't received any tracking emails yet. Does this mean that the reviewers have not yet agreed to review it? Thank you for your response.

This journal, although a new publication under Cell Press, is really slow. I suspect it is because it was recently included in SCI, resulting in a dramatic increase in submissions and transfers, but there is a shortage of editors. From the review comments, Heliyon is very strict and professional. My paper was reviewed by four reviewers, and each one provided insightful comments. It took me almost a month to make the necessary revisions. The impact factor is 3.776, which is just an average journal. We still don't know how it will be classified by the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the end of the year, so brothers and sisters who are in a hurry to publish their papers should be cautious about submitting to this journal.
