May I ask, in general, when the reply editor provided a website, I sent three revised manuscripts, but it has been two days and the content of the second review has not been updated. OP, on which day did you update?

May I ask when the general editor usually responds? He provided a website, and I have sent the revised drafts of three files, but it has been two days and the content for the second review has not been updated yet. OP, on which day did you update it?

The second review was actually a very minor issue. Personally, I felt it was completely unnecessary, but I still provided review comments. Luckily, it didn't have to go through another review and was accepted directly.

After 4 months of experience, finally received the minor revisions for the first trial. The evaluations were quite positive and it was fixed within 3 days. The image size should be between 2-3 megabytes, neither too big nor too small, and there are also requirements for the image type. The paper, code, and data must include instructions on how others can access them. The formatting was revised three times, hoping it will be helpful for other contributors. Looking forward to a favorable outcome.

Where can I see if there is a proofreader available? I can only see "under review" on my end.

It's also strange on my side. I submitted an article in December last year. At that time, the quality of that article was not very good, but the review process was very fast. I submitted it on December 7th, and it went under review on the 8th. The results came out on January 4th (although it was rejected). In April this year, on the 20th, I submitted another paper with the same topic but different content. On April 25th, it was assigned an editor and then returned, saying that there was no need to upload pictures, only the complete paper including the pictures needed to be uploaded. After resubmitting on April 26th, it was assigned an editor on May 12th. It briefly went under review for a few days, and now it has changed to "under consideration-editor" status, with "Not Assigned" displayed under the editor section. I want to ask if any seniors who have submitted articles before or other people who are currently submitting have encountered similar situations? It's like wasting a whole month, and I dare not rush, so now I'm completely stuck.

Dear seniors, I would like to inquire about the current status of this journal. I submitted an article in December last year, and although the quality was not great at that time, the review process was very fast. I submitted on December 7th, and it was under review by December 8th. The result was out on January 4th (although it was rejected). On April 20th, I submitted another paper with a similar theme but different content. It was assigned an editor on April 25th but was then returned, stating that there was no need to upload images, only the complete paper including the images. After resubmitting on April 26th, it was assigned an editor on May 12th, briefly under review for a few days, but now it has changed to "under consideration-editor" status, and the editor's section shows "Not Assigned". I would like to ask if any seniors who have submitted or others who are currently submitting have encountered a similar situation? It feels like wasting a whole month, and I'm hesitant to send a reminder. I'm completely stuck now.

This speed is really slow. It has been over three months, and I am still looking for a reviewer. At this rate, it will take at least half a year to get any results.

海阔天空 2023-05-21

No news, it has been 61 days already. I have sent a reminder letter in between, and the reply was that they are still trying to find reviewers. The paper is related to optical instruments. At this pace, it is estimated to take around four to five months.

"OP, have you made any progress recently? Mine is also stuck."

海阔天空 2023-04-18

I see that everyone usually receives the first review result after about a month. It has been almost a month now and we are still contacting the reviewers. We are looking forward to getting good results.

What was the final result for the original poster? I am currently in the same situation, but I submitted a special section paper.

哞哞哞 2023-03-14

Excuse me, everyone who is currently submitting manuscripts, are you stuck at the open access step?

1S 2023-03-14

Why does this journal have so many "Under Review" statuses? Does the original poster know what it means?

1S 2023-03-14

Do you know what each "Under Review" represents, OP?

发不完文章的喵星人 2023-03-09

How is it going? Is there any result from the first trial?

It has been over two months before contacting potential reviewers.

二仙桥居士 2023-02-24

Has it been two months since all reviewers were assigned? Does everyone have such a long time?

keira 2023-02-23

Can you please provide a specific time frame for me to see? Mine has been under review and hasn't entered the "all reviewers assigned" status. I don't know what to do.

The review process was quite fast. The reviewer was also quite friendly. One person only pointed out grammar issues, while the other provided many suggestions. The editor gave a major revision in the end. After responding to each point in the template, the editor sent an email saying it has been accepted.

rachelby1328 2023-01-28

Classmate, the reason I was rejected was also due to lack of innovation. In the end, where did you transfer to?

Should we contact the editor? It's been a long time under review with no progress, and there is still no assigned reviewer.

After submitting the paper, I received a response from the journal. It mentioned the need to improve my English writing skills and recommended using the independent editing service Editage, which is recommended by the SPIE journal. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation? After the English polishing is completed, will it go through peer review?

彭于晏12号 2022-11-23

Status: can be accepted, dependent on revision. The reviewer only pointed out grammar issues.
May I ask if the chances of acceptance are high with this status?

二仙桥居士 2022-11-21

Excuse me, may I ask the experts who are currently in the process of submission and have already received articles, is it normal for the status "All Reviewers Assigned" to last for one month? How long does it usually take for everyone?
