The whole process took about 5 months, and if accepted, it would also take more than 4 months. Perhaps it was because there were too many things to process during Christmas this year, even though the journal is published weekly, it still took a long time. Before I submitted my paper, I only found out that a classmate in the lab had also submitted one, and it took almost 6 months for her paper to be reviewed because she had to make three revisions. Another classmate submitted a month later than me and was rejected after just one week, it seems to be an issue related to the field. I initially wanted to submit a letter, but there was a fatal flaw that couldn't be avoided, so I chose to submit the full paper, all for the sake of graduation. I know that what I wrote was pretty bad, but no matter what, this is my first paper, and I probably won't have another one in the future, so the experience is still very valuable. Also, the subsequent process is very complicated and not as straightforward as Elsevier. Everyone should pay attention to their emails. I received a notification for major revisions on the same day as my exams, and I had just finished reading the system for two hours when the email arrived. I didn't expect to receive major revisions within a month, so it was quite unexpected.

2023.4.23 Submit revised manuscript
......There was no response for a while. After 10 days, I sent a reminder (just asking about the progress). The editorial department said it was in progress. Many colleagues didn't receive any notifications during this stage, and they didn't know what was going on. After more than a month, I couldn't help it and sent another reminder. They said graduation was approaching and the editorial department said they would check on the matter.
2023.6.2 Accept without change (No other information was provided. After submitting, it was directly accepted without any status changes like "with" or "under").
2023.6.5 Final acceptance (Submitted the figures again, given three days. Submitted on the same day, then it became useless, went to our own website).
2023.6.14 Marked for Production (Just a notification email, waiting for the final acceptance).
2023.6.15 Notification transferred to Author Services for further processing.
2023.6.17 Signing agreements and other tasks.
2023.6.18 Proofreading (Given two days, but you know, it was due to the fault of the browser and computer because I had attachments to upload, and I couldn't do it. I kept receiving remaining emails).
2023.6.22 Proofreading completed.
2023.6.23 Online.

Sorry to have bothered everyone for so long. Let me summarize. The reviewing process has been inconsistent in terms of speed, and mine has been relatively slow. Graduating classmates, please proceed with caution. However, there are many submissions that were sent a month later than mine and have already been accepted. I may not remember the exact dates, but there might be a difference of one or two days.

January 31, 2023: Submitted (originally intended as a letter, but was continuously rejected, so I added a small section and resubmitted the entire article for the first time).

February 15, 2023: Under editor review.

March 7, 2023: Under peer review.

April 3, 2023: Major revisions (given until April 30, with 4 reviewers and a total of 16 questions. Two reviewers only made a brief comment and one gave a few minor suggestions, so these three reviewers did not raise significant issues. The other reviewer, however, looked carefully and raised numerous questions, including suggesting additional experiments. In fact, half of the issues they raised were ones I had not addressed, otherwise I would have submitted to a more specialized journal as my research is interdisciplinary.)

Brothers and sisters, I finally received it. I guess the editor forgot about me. I had to remind them for the second draft, waited through a long weekend, and then the editorial department replied the next day, suggesting me to come and have a look. Then, early yesterday morning, I finally received it. Such a long season...

May I ask what browser you are using for proofreading? I have tried both Edge and Google Chrome, but I cannot click on the query information to reply.

After the journal is accepted, the publisher will send an email asking for the design of the journal cover, which everyone will receive.

Mengfan001 2023-05-13

The text is already in English. It says "update: 5/12 accept without change."

Gingergigi 2023-05-13

Yes, there still isn't any change in your status.

Gingergigi 2023-05-11

Without an editor, I wouldn't know what's going on.

echoeseddy 2023-05-11

After your major repair, has it been half a month and still no "under review" status?

Gingergigi 2023-05-10

It has been over half a month since I submitted for revision, but it is still in the submission status. I once emailed the editorial department and they replied that it is under editorial evaluation... The system's status does not represent the actual status... I am really frustrated. It took me half a month for the initial submission, and now the response is even slower.

Excuse me, may I ask where you are in the process right now? I just arrived at the step you sent me today.

pumpkin@ 2023-04-10

Hello, did you receive the email regarding the copyright transfer after you accepted it? (If you did, how long did it take to receive it? It has been a week for me and I haven't received it yet. The email I received after accepting it mentioned that it would be sent shortly).

It seems like the proofreading is something that will happen after the copyright transfer.

学习不哭 2023-04-10

Received this again on April 6th, Inform Author of Export. Still haven't received the revised manuscript information, let alone when it will be online.

Gingergigi 2023-04-07

0403 major repairs, to be completed by the end of the month. I only saw it today. There are four reviewers.

pumpkin@ 2023-04-05

Friend upstairs, how long did you send the copyright agreement email after receiving it?

学习不哭 2023-04-05

I received it on March 19th and requested final material from the author on April 3rd. This is the first time I have encountered this situation with a submission. May I ask if this is considered proofreading? If it is an online publication, approximately how long will it take?

pumpkin@ 2023-04-04

Dear friends, how long does it take to receive the copyright agreement after accepting it? And how much longer until the proof?

This journal is slow in the early stage. I hope it can speed up later and be accepted before graduation.

冒泡泡的苏打水 2023-03-13

I submitted it around the same time as you, and it took a month before it was reviewed.
