Editing and processing the document was very fast.
Submitted on May 10th.
The editor on May 23rd said the format was incorrect because the journal follows a double-blind review process. At that time, I did not pay attention to this matter and made the necessary format changes and submitted it again on the same day.
Sent for review on May 30th.
Review comments were returned on June 14th, with nine reviewers and over 40 comments, and two weeks were given to address them. Fortunately, the reviewers overall recognized the work. Due to the number of issues, I requested an extension from the editor and submitted the revised comments on July 2nd.
Received further revision comments on July 11th, with one reviewer being particularly meticulous.
Then, on July 15th, the revised comments were submitted again.
The editor didn't take any action during this time and it was under review again on the 23rd.
The review was completed on the 24th and acceptance was confirmed on the 25th.
Overall, the process was quite fast, within the normal two-month timeframe.

Hello, I would like to inquire about what it means when the journal submission page shows "sent back to author." It has been a month since the submission, and it has remained in this status. Additionally, only the corresponding author's account displays the status, while the first author's account does not show any submission information.

Hello, I would like to ask, after I submit my submission, can only the corresponding author see the status of the submission? Will I not be able to see it on my end?

That means the editor did not submit it for review. You don't have to worry about it at the editor's side. Just wait, it will be submitted for review later.

Hello, may I ask if your article has been reviewed after you returned it for revision on January 13th? Mine was uploaded as a revised version on February 5th and it is currently still "with editor". I have no idea about the situation.

May I ask if your article has been reviewed after being repaired on January 13th? I uploaded the revised draft on February 5th, and it is currently "with editor". I don't know the current status.

There have been no more similar articles submitted after this one. This journal focuses on manuscripts related to food methods and chemical compositions. Apart from a few first-tier journals, I feel that this journal is considered second-tier. The speed is fast, with the chief editor processing manuscripts around 5 am every night, making me check its status every time I wake up in the middle of the night. Interestingly, after the first revision, it was desk-rejected. Then, it was either waiting for acceptance or rejection, but on the third day, it directly changed to "with Editor." After searching for a while, I thought that the opinions of the two reviewers who requested revisions were opposite, with one rejecting and one accepting, so it might continue under review. However, after a few days, it was accepted, and I was very happy. I will continue to submit similar articles in the future. By the way, this journal follows a double-blind review process, which is fair. When submitting, authors need to separately upload a document.

Submitted to the magazine on December 10, 2022, with a major revision due on January 1st. Given 20 days, the paper was revised on the 13th before the New Year and accepted on February 75th. This journal focuses on the chemical composition of food. The article on non-targeted metabolomics has not been reviewed before. The editor said, "All of your identifications are tentative, and data are not quantitative. For papers to be considered by the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, confirmation of identifications with reference compounds is essential, particularly for compounds that are discussed within the text. Food Chemistry: Molecular Sciences publishes papers featuring the type of analysis featured in your paper."

Returned review comments on August 4th, due to the delay caused by the pandemic. Replied to the review comments on September 18th and accepted on September 20th. Great! Hoping for a higher score for the journal, let's go for it!

The editing process was fast, although it was a bit challenging to find reviewers at first. Fortunately, it got accepted. All the waiting was worth it. I wish everyone who is preparing to submit or currently submitting good luck and success!

Overall review process was slow, so for those in a rush to graduate, be cautious when submitting. However, the editing efficiency was excellent. As long as you seriously address the reviewer's comments, the editor will accept it directly. My first SCI paper in life, although the review period was long and frustrating, the outcome is good!

First time submitting to this journal, there were 10 reviewers, received an 18-page response, waited for 7 months, luckily it was accepted. However, some articles from our institute get accepted in three months, so the time frame is purely luck-based. Overall, I feel that this journal has good quality, with an impact factor of 4.5 and a ranking of 30, just below LWT. The number of articles in recent years has also increased, and personally, I think it has great potential.

Looking forward to the outcome, it is rumored that this journal is slow, so I don't know what will happen.
