Although it is in the second tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is also considered top-tier. The initial draft was reviewed by five reviewers, with four accepting it, and one requesting major revisions. The result of the first round was a major revision, with sharp criticisms. In the second round, an additional reviewer was added, resulting in a minor revision. After the second round of modifications, it was accepted. The review process was slightly lengthy, so students eager to graduate should consider it carefully, as the evaluation of innovative points is strict.

Gomendy brothers, how could it be my fault? Three months later, when the feedback came back, the editor only asked me to add citations from previous research, there were no other suggestions, and no comments from reviewers, no review comments at all!! Isn't this the same as not being reviewed?! Even though it said "under review" for three months.

Gomendy 2022-07-19

The person upstairs doesn't know, understand or pretending to know, what the author wrote was returned after being under review. TMECH is assigned by EIC to SE, and SE assigns it to TE. Only when the three E's and Adm think there is no problem will it be sent for review, that is, it will be under review. Since it has already been under review, why hasn't the manuscript been processed yet? Is it because the author didn't describe it clearly, or is it because this young person upstairs is too impulsive and didn't understand it well?

天下大势。。。 2022-07-18

The key point that the original poster mentioned is that the journal has not sent the manuscript for review after three months. The authors were only informed three months later, indicating that the manuscript was backlogged for three months before being processed. The reading comprehension of @Gomendy seems to be quite limited.

夏墨 2022-07-09

Hello, may I ask how long it generally takes to get results at SE?

夏墨 2022-07-09

Maybe there are too many articles submitted to the journal now, and they are unable to handle them all. My rejected manuscript has been resubmitted for nearly 6 months now, and it has been with the editorial team for almost two weeks, but there is still no outcome.

Gomendy 2022-06-30

This is your own responsibility. If you don't cite your own previous related work, people will worry that you are submitting the same manuscript to multiple places.

Still contacting the reviewer, need to wait.

This D journal is like this, insisting on self-destruction. Nowadays, journals are speeding up the review process. Other journals take around two months from submission to the first review comments. However, this D journal often takes two months and still has not been sent for review...

摸鱼ing? 2022-06-27

This journal is like this. Brother upstairs, stay calm. Mine has been almost a month. And it was delayed for three months before being reviewed. This D journal, I really don't think it's worth submitting to... It's really garbage.

摸鱼ing? 2022-06-27

I have submitted to this journal twice in total, and overall, it is the most frustrating journal I have ever encountered! The first time I submitted, I waited for three months, and it was continuously under review. In theory, the review process should have been completed, but who knew that after three months, they informed me to cite my previous paper because my research was an extension of it. This was the review result after three months, and they didn't even send it for review in the first place!!! It's unbelievable, three months have passed, and it hasn't even been sent for review yet, but it still says "under review".
The second time I submitted, it has been almost a month, and it is still "Awaiting TE Assignment"...
I am truly speechless about the staff of this journal. So, I advise everyone to be cautious when submitting to this journal. It not only wastes time but also seems to be on a self-destructive pace...

2022.06.16 under review

2022.06.16 refers to a specific date, and "under review" indicates that something is currently being assessed or examined.

Brother, I have been waiting for the allocation of TE for half a month. What is the situation?

Each revision and resubmission takes about 2-4 months.

2.27 Accept
Reviewer Comments: Both the reviewer and TE agree to accept.

Summary: The journal quality is acceptable, and the number and quality of reviewers are also decent. The drawback is that the speed is a bit slow. Especially after the reviewers have finished, it takes a bit long in the hands of TE and SE, totaling 2 months for three rounds. Hopefully, this process can be improved. Each round in the hands of reviewers is approximately 1 month, which is still considered relatively fast in the field of mechanical engineering and robotics. Hope everyone can receive good articles.

Reviewer comments: Reviewers BCD agree to accept. Reviewer A still has one question regarding the actual robot experiment. In fact, there were physical experiments and accompanying videos in this round of review materials. Based on Reviewer A's comment, it seems that they did not see the response letter and video. We asked TE for confirmation. TE replied saying that Reviewer A indeed did not see the attachments, but still asked us to make modifications based on that reviewer's comments. One question requires significant revision.

May I ask how long it usually takes to resubmit a rejected manuscript?

打工仔 2022-02-23

After a year of going through it, I finally got accepted. It's not easy, as it is my first English research paper during the graduate stage. I experienced a reject and resubmit once, and two major revisions, but in the end, it was accepted.

The top journal in the fields of electromechanical, control, and robotics, is a bimonthly publication with few but high-quality articles. Currently, it is awaiting reviewer scores. Praying for good luck.
