Hello, may I ask if the status remains as "Peer review" after the assignment is edited? I've been in the peer review process for a week now and there has been no progress. I'm not sure if this status means that a reviewer has been found and they are currently reviewing, or if a reviewer has not been found yet.

Received the initial evaluation results within 15 days after submitting the manuscript (two reviewers, major revision; one reviewer almost rejected it, the other suggested minor revisions). Thanks to the editor for giving the opportunity for major revision. Returned the revised manuscript in 8 days (added a lot of content based on the suggestions of reviewer 1). Resubmitted for a second review in 2 days and it was accepted! The processing speed was very fast, around 20 days in total.

It feels like being rejected by a fellow colleague, feeling a bit uncomfortable, brother.

Generally, the quality is uneven.

Already published, not sure when it can be retrieved.

First submission, the changes made after major revision were not good and it was rejected.

The lesson here is that no matter how basic the issues raised by the reviewers are, it is important to address them in both the response letter and the revised manuscript. Do not assume that explaining in the response letter alone is sufficient. The reviewers' comments should be incorporated into the paper during the revision process. Re-submitting after making the necessary changes will be much smoother.

OE (possibly referring to the journal or publication platform) allows only one revision, which makes the review process seem unusually fast, usually within two months. This includes the time for resubmission after the first round of revisions did not pass. Taking my own experience as an example, from December 12th to April 13th, it took a total of 4 months for acceptance. I believe this is a normal speed for OE.

Hello, may I ask where can I see the interface of the reviewers, reviewer1 and reviewer2? Can I still see it now? Is it only after passing the editorial review that I can see it in the Details of my own review queue?

I haven't had a reviewer for almost a month.

How can I appeal against OE? There were three reviewers in total, two of them suggested minor revisions, but one of them rejected it outright. This person only focused on the theoretical model and completely ignored the innovation of my experiments. Furthermore, the combination of compliant tool polishing and SPDT has already been widely accepted and used in practical production. The only difference is the use of non-Newtonian fluid in compliant tool polishing (published in another journal), so I fail to see the novelty and impact of this research.

Waited for a week before there was any movement, major repairs.

白杨和蒲公英 2023-04-09

My paper also hasn't received any response from the two reviewers. Have you received any news about yours?

nikoe 2023-04-07

You can go to the web of science website to check the previously published articles. It seems that there are retrieval dates and publication times listed there.

Both reviewers have completed their tasks, why isn't there any progress in the next step?

Just asking everyone, how long can we retrieve it after production? I need it urgently for graduation.

Indeed, the system is still under maintenance.

I want to ask if there is a problem with Optica's website. Why am I unable to submit a post? It shows "Optica System Maintenance."

nikoe 2023-03-16

How did you finish so quickly, several reviewers?

王欣悦 2023-03-13

November 29th submission, sent for review on the same day.
Received reviewer's comments on December 17th.
Accepted on December 28th.

I have also been assigned as an editor for seven days, but there has been no external review. The previous article was assigned and sent for external review on the same day, but it seems like this article is going to cool down without being reviewed.

nikoe 2023-03-07

Mine is too, how are you doing now?

feiFeiei 2023-02-09

I submitted it on the 18th. There was a major revision that was given 10 days. I completed it in 6 days and submitted it. After 2 days, I received minor revision comments, requesting submission within 7 days. I completed the revisions in about 3 days and submitted it. On the 9th, it showed that it was accepted. Overall, it was relatively fast. There were a total of 3 reviewers, 2 agreed to accept after revisions, and one suggested transferring. After the revisions, all 3 reviewers agreed. The overall time was less than a month, the fastest journal I have ever submitted to. Some comments mentioned that it was slow. This probably depends on whether the reviewers agree to review your paper and their reviewing speed. I believe the efficiency of the editor's handling was still very high!

After peer review, the quality of the article has improved significantly. I hope the journal will continue to thrive!

What does "peerrereviewMain_RereviewComplete_NoReviews" mean? Does anyone know?

2022-12-24

The submission experience was very poor. It feels like the editor didn't read it properly and just said it was a resubmission of a previous article. I wrote a cover letter, and then they said it didn't fit the theme.

我要成为大娱乐家 2022-12-24

Too slow. It has been with the editor for 20 days already. Last time I urged them, it got rejected. This time, I dare not urge them either.

douziaaaaa 2022-12-20

I have been waiting for the external review comments for over three months.

0427 2022-12-20

Too slow, the reviewer promised to review, disappeared for over a month, kept urging, and still hasn't returned the first review.
