What does "远远超出接收范围" mean? Does it mean they received too many articles?

One review, two reviewers, two months, the feedback was very positive, with foreign collaborators, and the language was also very authentic. The revision comments were also very gentle, and after the revision, acceptance was notified within one month, in total it took three months.

Correction, it means that the article writing did not meet the standards of a journal, and suggests revising it.

Posted around December 20th, the day before Christmas with the editor.
On January 4th, the editor rejected it with the following two sentences:
"The article we received far exceeds what we can accept."
"The article does not meet the journal's standards, we suggest revision."

Seeing this from you, I'm shocked, suddenly feeling very worried. I've appealed for a second review, but it's been over ten days with no news.

First trial took half a year, and the minor revisions were returned. The second trial took a year, and I felt foolish. Even after urging, there was no response. Later, I asked the supervisor to urge, and they only replied that they were waiting for the reviewers to finish. We haven't forgotten about you, sigh, there might not even be any news when we graduate... Those in a hurry, please be cautious when submitting.

The first review took 2.5 months. There were two reviewers, one of whom was a junior colleague and quite professional. Their suggestions were also good. The other reviewer seemed to have a background in statistics and their comments were not very relevant to the main points.

The second review took 3 months and two additional reviewers were added. They were more positive about the revisions and overall feedback was positive, although they raised a few minor issues.

The third review took 5 days and the paper was accepted.

Overall, the difficulty was not high and some of the reviewers' comments effectively improved the quality of the paper.

Brother, to be honest, although it is ranked at the top, the experience of publishing in the field of artificial intelligence in this journal, CCF-C, is just alright. The submission experience of my peers in the same field has been good, with most papers being sent back for re-review within two to three months. It is normal for the level of reviewers in journals to vary, and there is always an element of luck involved when submitting to any journal.

Make sure to file a serious complaint about your communication. This journal editor pays no attention to the corresponding authors, not even the first author. KBS completely shattered my illusion of top journals. It's truly ridiculous (brothers who have successfully and smoothly submitted their articles, please let me vent, please). The reviewers are reckless, publishing their own half-hearted articles, and constantly emphasizing the champion algorithm for you to implement. Do they even know how their publicly available source code performs? And they keep emphasizing CEC 2017. Did you know that your code performs worse than the original algorithm on old datasets? Is it necessary to only run the 2017 dataset? I really want to criticize. They don't even read the papers of two authors, but I have also switched to a different submission.

2020.10.17 submit to journal
2021.8.15 revise
2021.12.1 completely reject

In the first review, two reviewers were assigned. Reviewer 1 provided some constructive comments, but Reviewer 2 insisted that our method was not significantly different from an existing algorithm (in fact, our results were clearly better and our approach had many differences). Therefore, we focused on addressing the comments of Reviewer 2.

In the second review, Reviewer 1 agreed to accept the paper, while Reviewer 3 provided some suggestions for improvement and stated that it could be accepted if the modifications were made. However, Reviewer 2 still insisted that our algorithm was similar to existing ones and claimed that we did not perform statistical analysis (even though every chart in the paper had statistical results). They also believed that our algorithm could not outperform all other algorithms (although we explicitly mentioned in some test cases that our algorithm was not as good as certain algorithms, Reviewer 2 ignored this). Based on this reviewer's opinion, the editor decided to reject the paper.

We did not expect to receive such a result after waiting for 10 months for the first review. We sent numerous reminders during this period, but the status only changed after each reminder. We will not submit to KBS in the future, as it is a poor quality journal.

JingJiang 2021-12-29

How can I appeal? We have already appealed, but they still insist on transferring us six months later.

Submitted on March 20th, it is still in the third review now, too slow...

Appealed, the editor apologized, revoked the 6-month ban on submission. The reviewer indeed conducted a chaotic review, just copying my abstract and then stating that I didn't conduct XX experiment, but the third sentence in the abstract clearly states that it was confirmed through XX experiment. These idiots are truly eating shit. Fortunately, I have already submitted elsewhere.

Amazing_! 2021-12-24

Has there been any change now? Is it because it was too busy before Christmas, or is it a vacation?

zhu001 2021-12-23

Excuse me, is there a template for the author agreement and cover letter of this journal? I have been searching on the website for a long time but couldn't find it.

Does it take 10 days to receive a response? I've seen comments saying they receive a response on the same day or the next day.

Hong91 2021-12-22

I received the decision within ten days of submission, but it has been ten days and they still haven't emailed me the rejection. They are taking their time.

努力发SCI的东 2021-12-22

I also think that both reviewers of my article are randomly labeling it. The big one and the small one were both rejected. The editor probably realized that the reviewers were both foolish and couldn't come up with any reasons, just a "reject" with a dog emoji.

What field is the original poster in?

vvgod 2021-12-22

Three little repairs were rejected by AE with the reason being limited theoretical contribution without detailed performance analysis, thus this paper cannot be accepted. I feel that it may be due to the large number of submissions intentionally being reduced.

微风吹过那些年 2021-12-22

What a pity, what is the opinion of the deputy editor?

宝宝很开心 2021-12-22

Did Xiaoxiu refuse? Did the editor give any reasons?

vvgod 2021-12-22

Three small repairs were rejected, and their mentality collapsed.

Gov 2021-12-21

This is so difficult to say. I previously went through ASOC, a major revision, a minor revision, a direct submission... but the editor rejected it. After the boss contacted the editor, I was given another chance to submit again, but it wasted another three months... rejected again. I give up, time is killing me.

Gov 2021-12-21

Scared pee, the first review gave a conditionally accept (not sure if it's good or bad... the opinions are okay, four reviewers, three replied with review comments), pressured to return the manuscript by the deadline, then stayed for 10 days from editor-in-chief to associate editor and then to under review, it seems like in the afternoon it became required review completed... panicked.
