I don't know if I need to ask, it has been two weeks and it's still with the editor.

JeremyLau 2022-09-22

I heard that the change in time was caused by a replacement of the editor. Mine was also updated for the second time on the 19th with the editor.

11o 2022-09-21

Me too, with the editor on the 14th, and still with the editor on the 19th. Is it in the hands of the deputy editor by now?

Me too, on the 14th with editor, on the 19th update still with editor, did it go to the deputy editor?

nunu_bupt 2022-09-20

May I ask, what field or direction are you specialized in?

nunu_bupt 2022-09-20

How many reviewers are required at minimum?

JeremyLau 2022-09-20

May I ask if the submission has just been made for a few days and the editor's schedule has changed twice? Has this situation occurred before?

huazhen1995 2022-09-15

Whether the major revisions will be rejected upon submission depends on whether the reviewer's concerns have been effectively addressed.

Roy鹿 2022-09-12

Has there been any follow-up? My submission has been stuck for over 10 months, and I haven't received any updates. I've already followed up twice in the past two to three months. I'm not sure if I should follow up again.

Zzzz@ 2022-09-11

I don't know, it's been 2 and a half months for me.

Has been more than a month since I have been with the editor, is this normal?

图南 2022-09-08

My manuscript has been with the editor for over a month now. Is this speed normal? It's my first time as the sole author and corresponding author.

nunu_bupt 2022-09-08

Oh, thank you thank you! I also wanted to ask, are there at least three reviewers for the initial draft? Right now, I only have two people accepting the review.

I did not seek any agency for proofreading, but modified it myself. Mainly, I checked for areas where the language and logic in the article were not smooth, as well as checked for sentence grammar. After making some general modifications, I submitted it.

No money needed, unless you choose OA.

nunu_bupt 2022-09-06

Do you need to seek professional proofreading agencies to improve language quality?

Khairuddin 2022-09-04

Hello, senior. Is there a page limit for submission in the Information Sciences journal? Also, can the manuscript be submitted in PDF format through the submission system, or is it required to submit in .tex format? Thank you for your reply.

Zzzz@ 2022-08-30

It's already February, still working with the editor. When will this be finished?

lana123456 2022-08-25

It has been nearly three months since the first trial, why is it still under review? Is this a normal speed? How come everyone in the comment section is so fast?

ocean511 2022-08-24

I would like to inquire if this journal charges fees. I have previously submitted to Neurocomputing, and as long as it was not Open Access, it was free. I am not sure if IS follows the same model.

EleaM Josen Haplacg 2022-08-24

The review speed of Information Sciences is relatively fast. It was submitted on July 10th and returned on August 22nd with major revisions. There were a total of 5 reviewers, and their comments were not sharp, mostly pointing out minor issues that are easily addressable. Hopefully, the next return will result in acceptance.

张浩宇z 2022-08-20

Just wanted to check if this journal requires source data to be provided. I am considering submitting an article.

In less than five and a half months, the efficiency is quite high.

huazhen1995 2022-08-08

Add a point, without any expert, I wrote it myself. At the end of July this year, I collaborated with an expert to write an article, which was also submitted to INS. It was reviewed within 3 days, and I was amazed. So having an expert is really helpful, but if there isn't one, relying on one's own efforts will definitely bring hope! Everyone, keep up the good work!

huazhen1995 2022-08-08

Finally got hired, it was really not easy. I want to share my progress and hope it will be helpful to everyone.

22-8 Accepted!!!

The first time, it only took one month for the editor to put it under review. It was a pleasant surprise, but then the "required review completed" process may last for another month, so this journal is still quite slow. Encountered an extremely difficult reviewer who repeatedly asked unrelated questions and said the article was confusing. I almost wanted to send an email to the editor, but in the end, this reviewer only asked two minor questions, which were completely ignored by the editor and the article was directly accepted. Even the editor couldn't bear it. Thumbs up to the editor!! Hope the impact factor can steadily increase!

Wishing everyone smooth and successful acceptances!!

Finally, the dust has settled. Today, I accepted it and need to mark it. Without an expert in this field, I am doing it alone. There is a huge difference between my direction and the team's direction. I regret taking this direction, but when I realized that my direction was far from what I originally wanted, it would cost me more time and effort to go back and learn the boss's direction. So, I can only continue with a brave face. It may be easy for someone outside the team to promote an article on Ins with experts, but for me, it doesn't feel easy. However, there is still a chance. The experience is to boldly implement ideas that I think are good, otherwise, it would truly waste my ideas and hard work.

Finally, the dust has settled. Today, I accepted it and need to make a note. Without the guidance of an expert in this field, I have been working alone, and the direction is completely different from that of the team. I regret taking this path, but when I realized that my direction was far from what I originally wanted, it would be more time-consuming to go back and relearn based on the boss's direction. So, I have no choice but to continue with a determined mindset. It may be easier for someone outside the team with experts to initiate an article on INS, but I still feel there is an opportunity for us. We should boldly present our own good ideas from top to bottom, otherwise, it would truly be a waste of our ideas.
