Is there any change in the status of your manuscript now? I also submitted mine around the same time as you, and it is still in the "In Peer Review" status.

tominiute 2022-02-23

After two months of modifications, you will be hired quickly.

AE stands for editing, acceptance, rejection, and encouraging resubmission. These will be clearly stated in the email.

Sherlock1218 2022-02-23

What does AE mean? After I submitted my contribution, the status has been "Under Review" all along, I don't know if it's being reviewed externally.

大石兀鲁思 2022-02-23

I would like to ask, will "acceptance" and "rejection" be explicitly stated in the email? Also, will the suggestion of resubmission be clearly mentioned?

Translated text:

2021-10-13 Submitted, AE external review to be assigned within a week.
2021-11-29 Returned, one accepted and one rejected, AE suggested resubmission.
2021-12-22 Resubmitted after revision, AE assigned the next day.
2022-1-15 Direct acceptance.

There isn't much to say about the accepted ones, but the rejections were mainly because they didn't carefully read the paper and said it didn't compare with the state-of-the-art (SOTA). However, I am a single model and don't need to compare with an ensemble model. Originally, I wanted to rebut, but then I thought it would be better to resubmit. The second revision didn't include additional experiments, mainly addressing the cover letter and modifying the emphasis of the article. The same AE reviewers were assigned for the second resubmission, with one directly accepting and the other accepting my statement and pointing out a minor formatting error, resulting in direct acceptance.

To be honest, the speed was really fast. Even with Christmas in between the second submission, I thought it would take until February, but unexpectedly, the results came out in less than a month. It may be because of the resubmission, as the AE had a good impression and encouraged resubmission.

Has anyone encountered the status "Awaiting AE Decision" before? What does it mean?

longde55 2022-01-01

Excuse me, if the pre-screening is rejected, is re-submission part of the rejected manuscript resubmission system? If so, how should I write the modification explanation for submission?

hui_ 2021-12-30

The speed is quite fast. It passed the preliminary review within a week, and now AE bosses are being assigned.

hui_ 2021-12-30

Brother, how did you respond to the feedback and suggestions? I noticed that under the SPL submission status, there is a "contact" option, but it always shows "no person." Did you use your own email to directly reply to the reviewer's changes?

hui_ 2021-12-30

7 days for pre-screening, allocating AE, feeling a bit nervous.

I also want to know, it has been under review for almost two months.

longde55 2021-12-06

Did you get rejected in the pre-screening for the first time? How did the other editor respond when encouraging you to resubmit?

longde55 2021-11-28

I heard that this journal is very good. This is my first time submitting an article.
11.19: Submission
11.21: Started the prescreening process, but the reviewers have not been assigned yet.

I hope this gets accepted and I will continue to update the progress in the future.

Xiaocainiao 2021-11-24

Could you please let me know what stage "Under Review" is at and why it hasn't changed since I submitted it? Thank you.

zhang123abc 2021-11-24

It should have a high volume of journal submissions and an abundance of manuscripts, so overall it is relatively strict.

Cethy 2021-11-23

The first review did not pass the editorial pre-screening, and then it was modified and resubmitted.
The second review took more than two months. One reviewer directly accepted the current format, while another reviewer deliberately found faults. It was obvious that they were irresponsible reviewers who didn't even bother to read it. They were probably teachers who had students review it, and they just copied and pasted some review template sentences from the internet. It's really frustrating, and what's even more infuriating is that their opinions were completely opposite to the reviewer who accepted it directly! Although there were many comparative experiments with the new algorithm, they only mentioned one sentence, saying that there were no comparative experiments, and the editor accepted that sentence...
Then I sent a rebuttal to the editor, but they didn't reply. I sent it to the journal's assistant editor, but they didn't reply either.
After making revisions, I carefully wrote a cover letter and rebuttal, and then submitted it. However, the assistant editor replied that this manuscript had already gone through the second round and I should withdraw it, as a third submission was not allowed...
But I only went through one external review, doesn't the first pre-screening count?
I didn't give up and explained the situation in the cover letter, and submitted it again... But the editorial department took a long time to process it, and it kept showing "submitted". After a month and a half, it was withdrawn again... I can only say that I'm really unlucky... The processing speed and luck are completely different from what others have mentioned in the comments...
I'm speechless... Sob, sob, sob. It hurts.

The first review did not pass the editorial pre-review, so it was modified and resubmitted. The second review took over two months, one reviewer accepted the current format directly, while the other intentionally found faults. It was obvious that the second reviewer was irresponsible and didn't even read the paper properly. It seems like the reviewer was a student given the task by their teacher, as they used some template sentences found online. What's even more frustrating is that their opinion was completely opposite to that of the reviewer who accepted the paper. Although there were many comparative experiments with the new algorithm, they only mentioned the lack of such experiments and the editor adopted their opinion...
After that, a rebuttal was sent to the editor, but there was no reply. It was also sent to the journal's assistant editor, but still no reply. After making the revisions, a cover letter and rebuttal were carefully written and submitted. However, the assistant editor replied that this was the second time the manuscript had been submitted, so it was being withdrawn and not allowed for a third submission...
But there was only one external review, shouldn't the first pre-review count?
I didn't give up and explained the situation in the cover letter, and submitted it again... But the editorial department took a long time to process it, and it kept showing as "submitted". After a month and a half, it was withdrawn once again... I can only say, I'm really unlucky... The processing speed and luck are completely different from what other comments have mentioned...
I'm just speechless...

"Hired on October 18th. Master's first attempt at submitting to SCI was successful, on board."

wens 2021-10-22

May I ask how long it takes for you to receive the pre-screening results?

razor152 2021-10-14

6/17 Submission, 8/30 AQ (one R and one AQ, editor gave AQ), 9/26 Accept. Feels that the journal has high quality and requires a core innovative point.

空天 2021-10-12

Posted on May 8th, returned on July 14th, one accepted directly, one minor revision, one rejection, editor suggested resubmitting the rejected manuscript;
Resubmitted on September 2nd, received AQ on October 8th;
Submitted on October 11th, current result is unknown.
I'd like to ask, is the likelihood of receiving a rejection after AQ high for SPL?

Xiao-Dong Bi 2021-10-11

Review results will be provided in two months, and usually only one opportunity for revision will be given. Reviewers may request the addition of new literature in some experimental sections.
Summary: The journal is relatively fast and authoritative in the field of image processing. The paper requires high innovation, novel ideas, and new references for citation.

zhang123abc 2021-09-23

It's about one week.

altlp 2021-09-23

A highly reputable journal in the field of signal processing. Each step, from reviewers to editors, is professional and positive. The journal demands innovative research and has high standards for writing and formatting.

Cethy 2021-09-17

Just like you, there is no person shown there. How did it end up for you? How long did it take to resolve? Thank you.

雯文雯 2021-09-09
