The first one was fast, but the second one is very slow. It was submitted on September 23rd, reviewed by the editor on September 25th, and there has been no update until October 19th.

Everyone says it's fast, but I haven't experienced it. Submitted on 9.28, reviewed by the editor on 10.1, and there has been no change until 10.16.

September 28th, the second revision was made due to a reviewer who had been rejecting the manuscript since the beginning.
On October 11th, the revised manuscript from the second revision was returned, and the advisor asked the reviewer to respond, as they believed the suggestions were somewhat unrealistic.
On October 13th, the editor accepted it directly.

发条冬瓜 2021-10-12

July 3rd - Submitted
August 19th - Received feedback, no clear instructions for minor or major revisions, 21-day revision deadline (there was a delay due to grammar polishing)
September 5th - Returned revised draft
September 10th - Still no further changes since the RRC (Reviewer's Comment and Correction), it has been over a month. At the 30-day mark, I consulted customer service through chat, and they said there is only one reviewer and the feedback has been given. It seems like the editor is too busy, I don't know how much longer I have to wait. If I don't receive any news after 2 months, I plan to inquire through internal messaging.

Made of superhydrophobic mesh, it is used for oil-water separation. Submitted on August 14th, received reviewer's comments on September 18th, returned with revisions on October 2nd, and received acceptance from editor Romain Bordes on October 6th. The process felt very smooth.

Posted on July 23rd
Submitted for review on July 25th
Received reviewer comments on August 20th, 17 questions from 3 reviewers, requested to return in 21 days
Returned revised manuscript on September 8th
Second round of review on September 10th
Half a month has passed, and there is still no result from the second round of review. It feels like there will be more revisions.

I have always disliked the editors in my country. This time, when I saw that the one in Beijing with the surname Yan was getting close, I chose him, but the submission didn't get reviewed. Later, I submitted to a prestigious journal and it was accepted in just over two months. There were three reviewers, and their opinions were all very positive.

Did you submit it for review again after receiving the comments?

July 2, 2021 Four reviewers, one of them is the editor. The questions were not too sharp, but the grammar was poor. The editor gave an opportunity for revision instead of rejecting it directly. Thank you~

Submitted on May 21st and accepted on July 1st, the journal requires submitted papers to have a certain level of innovation. With two reviewers, both of whom ask very professional questions, it is a journal with extremely high efficiency.

孟德斯鸠 2021-07-12

Hello, how long did it take for the editing suggestions to be made after your review was completed?

奋斗的小鸟 2021-07-12

4.16 submitted
6.22 revised
7.8 resubmitted minor revisions
7.9 accepted

The second submission to this journal was still quite efficient. However, the review comments took a bit longer to come back this time. The editor mentioned in an email that they were waiting for the reviewers' feedback, which caused a delay. After making the revisions, coincidentally, I am someone who tends to procrastinate, so the process was further extended. Overall, the experience was quite good, and I am very thankful to Editor Robert Tilton.
