Will the editor remind the reviewer one month after the second review?

Are you saying that the grapes are sour because you can't eat them, or because your paper got rejected by this journal?

The acceptance rate of this journal is so high, calling it a top journal is too exaggerated.

This journal is quite interesting. They will send you a review invitation, but they do not process submissions that are already shown as "decision in process". The topics are all the same, so it is assumed that it is the same editor. Why is that?

The review process is fast, with detailed and professional comments. It is a top journal in this field.

After over a month, the minor repairs were given.

Overall, it is a top journal in the field. Note that the quality of a journal should not be judged based on the ranking of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; it should be evaluated based on its influence among researchers worldwide. The revisions were also normal and were done by two distinguished professors in the field.

However, there are still some drawbacks, as exemplified by this submission:
1. Long review time
The slow review process is primarily the fault of the reviewers. If we have to find a reason related to the journal's editorial board, it can only be that the editors did not push hard enough. In our field, OE is known for its slow review process. Another doctoral student of the professor submitted an article, and it took one year for the review, only to be rejected in the end.
2. Based on Word
Another colleague had previously submitted to OE. He submitted in LaTeX, but was asked to submit in Word. After informing them that he did not have Word, the typing team actually copied the content into Word and pasted it into Elsevier's scheduling system. This not only took a long time, but also resulted in a poor publication outcome! I just submitted in LaTeX myself, so I'm not sure what will happen next.

I don't know what's going on. I haven't received my first-instance opinion yet. According to the rules, I should have received it within three months.

It has been 7 months since the first trial, and it has been under review all along.

May I ask if you have received the results now? I have also been waiting for 8 months, and it has been under review the whole time.

Hello, may I ask if you have received the initial review comments after 10 months?

万里悲秋常作客 2022-01-15

The text "Accept后几天就校稿了" translates to "The proofreading was done a few days after accepting."

万里悲秋常作客 2022-01-15

No mention of major or minor repairs, just revision, which should mean major repairs. Later, minor revisions were specifically given.

What does "decision意见revise" mean? Does it refer to major revision or minor revision?

Wang jinkang 2022-01-10

May I ask what is the current result?

小红0509 2022-01-10

Although there is a large volume of published articles, the review process is indeed strict. Four reviewers provided more than 60 comments, which made me seriously doubt my life choices...

Rejected after 9 months of review, the requirement for innovation is relatively high.

The first review took 10 months, with 3 reviewers providing 2 major revisions and 1 minor revision. The reviewers' comments were very professional and they were knowledgeable in the field. I will provide an update once there are results.

Or the reviewer may extend the review deadline.

Maybe the reviewer did not agree to review it.
