May I ask if it is normal for the status "All Reviewers Assigned" to last for one month?

Lawrence 2022-10-27

Could you please tell me how the manuscript fee is handled after submission? The journal's official website states that there are no mandatory page charges.

Small OE is also a classic journal in optics. Although it is in the fourth quartile, the overall impression of the journal is very good. It is quite friendly for novice graduate students. If your paper includes experiments and has certain innovations, the editors will generally provide opportunities for revisions. As long as you make proper revisions, the chances of acceptance are not small. Let me share the timeline of my own article's acceptance:

June 30, 2022: Submission
September 24, 2022: External review completed
September 27, 2022: Minor revisions
September 28, 2022: Revised
October 6, 2022: Accepted

Hello, I would like to ask if I should remove the illustrations in the text for the reply draft?

There is a deputy editor from the Middle East who took 40 days to send me the DCS letter after a minor revision.

April 11th - Revised and resubmitted
May 10th - Email received
Overall, as the first independently completed paper, it is really user-friendly for beginners. The two reviewers raised six questions, which greatly helped improve the quality of the paper! It is important to answer the major revisions thoroughly, and once the reviewer's questions are addressed, the paper can be accepted.

What direction are you facing, OP?

柚子99 2022-03-27

Which direction are you in, OP? Why has it been such a long time?

Original text: 楼主,审稿速度咋样呀,大概要多长时间呀

Translation: OP, how is the speed of reviewing? How long will it approximately take?

Clicked the wrong button by accident, it should be hired after minor revisions.

Overall, the review speed is quite fast. The first review took about one month, with the revised manuscript returned after five days and acceptance three days later.
Two reviewers were assigned. One reviewer provided comments on some detailed aspects, including language and charts. The other reviewer felt that the article was not carefully read and lacked innovation compared to previous works, and recommended against publication.
However, the editor seemed to have a strong opinion and suggested minor revisions, which were accepted three days later. Thumbs up! ?

Is your thesis always in the "Manuscript Sent to Production" status after being accepted, OP? My thesis has been accepted and published for several months now, but it's still in the "Manuscript Sent to Production" status. The number of days keeps increasing.

Received an acceptance notice via email on January 5th.
The first review process took a little long with two reviewers, and their comments were to directly accept the submission with minimal amendments.

I have been applying for four months, and after the review, they said that there is not enough innovation and it is a bit slow.

wtma 2021-09-11

A very serious journal, the editors and reviewers are all very responsible. It took about 3 months for the acceptance after major revisions. The reviewers' attitudes were very good and serious. Overall, it gives a sense of tranquility.

Excuse me, if this journal does not choose open access (OA), will it affect the speed of peer review?

MaggieShi 2021-08-01

As a scientific research "migrant worker" who has been reviewing and revising a paper for a long time, this journal is indeed not very difficult, but the reviewers and editors are quite serious. As long as there is innovation and the experiments are complete, they will give a chance for major revisions. If the reviewer's questions are taken seriously and answered satisfactorily, the paper will be accepted. If not satisfied, there will be another opportunity for revision.

Danica Hou 2021-03-09

The reviewer is very meticulous, and their suggestions greatly improve the article. It is suitable for beginners or students who have been repeatedly rejected!
First review: Can be made acceptable, dependent on revision

Hello, may I ask how long it usually takes to receive the manuscript notification after it has been accepted by OE? It has been 30 days and I still haven't received the manuscript notification.
