This article owes a lot to the editor. During the submission process, only one reviewer completed the review, and the others did not respond. After waiting for a month, I had to urge the editor, Ruediger Grunwald, who is very kind and also knowledgeable in my field. He directly approved a major revision. After being included, it was even selected as Editor's pick and became the Image of the Week.

After submission, three reviewers were assigned, with one suggesting acceptance and two providing more neutral comments. The first reviewer requested major revisions, and after submitting the revised version, a rejection letter was received within two hours. It is unclear if the delay in submitting the revised manuscript was the reason for the rejection. A few days before submission, the boss sent an email requesting an additional week. Anyway, the review process was relatively fast.

The first submission has now entered the rereview stage. Two reviewers have agreed, but the second reviewer has not yet completed the review. The editor has already reminded them. Should we continue to wait or take any other action after exceeding the deadline?

Seven reviewers were arranged one after another, but only two agreed. The review process took nearly three months.

The first reviewer (December 21st) finished the review in about four hours. The feedback was positive, stating that the article is well-organized and the main points are conveyed clearly. Only a few explanations need to be added.

The second reviewer (January 22nd to March 15th) delayed for two months and eventually rejected the paper. The review comments were completely unrelated to my research and seemed to be hastily done. Helplessly, I had to accept it and submit to another journal.

Hello, did you approve the major repairs in the first review and then reject them in the second review?

May I ask if you would like to make the payment after receiving it on March 7th or make the payment before receiving it on March 7th?

zzz202202 2022-03-13

After receiving the decision email, just wait for the proof. I waited for about 6 days. The proof requires a response within 24 hours, so remember to check your email.

automanLJN 2022-03-12

Congratulations! May I ask what needs to be done after production? Do we wait for the proof email? Is the proof only sent to the corresponding author?

zzz202202 2022-03-11

Thank you all for the opinions and references provided before, which have been very helpful! I would also like to share some thoughts on the submission.
From submission to acceptance, it took a total of two and a half months. The editor is an expert in the field, and the reviewer is very professional. Overall, the process was quite fast, mainly thanks to the responsible editor who continuously assisted in pushing the reviewer.

After reevaluation, it was ultimately rejected.

The reviewer has been finished for several days, but the re-review result has not been released yet. The waiting is quite agonizing.

哈哈哈啊哈哈哈 2022-02-17

First submission, claimed to be a resubmission of a previous article, and then wrote a cover letter explaining that the previous article had already been accepted. There is a huge difference between the two articles, and now I have been with the editor for a month...

May I ask what happened next? I have a reviewer here who hasn't responded, will the editor find a new one or should we continue waiting for this person even after the deadline?

Iriswang 2022-02-02

After one month of submission, I checked today and suddenly couldn't find the information of the manuscript. Has anyone encountered a similar situation?

小福ing 2022-01-20

Is there no information about the reviewer?

小福ing 2022-01-20

May I ask how many days it usually takes for the information of invited reviewers to appear after peer review? It has been nearly a week for me, and I still haven't received any.

The text translates to:

The first submission had three reviewers, with one agreeing to accept, one being neutral, and one rejecting it. The editor gave it to the rejecting reviewer. After carefully responding to the comments of the three reviewers and making significant revisions to the article, it was resubmitted. The same three reviewers were supposed to review it again, but it seems that the rejecting reviewer did not agree to review it. Only two of the reviewers provided minor revision comments within the given time. After making the modifications, it was quickly accepted.

Could you please clarify what does "provisional acceptance" mean? Does it require formatting changes or content improvement?

Half a month or peer review, what is the situation?

ggyy1 2022-01-05

First submission in July, rejected on August 17th. Two reviewers, one neutral and one rejected. The first review was quite fast.
My boss told me to respond with comments and continue to submit to OE, but this time it's super slow for some reason. Reviewer 2 has been reminding for a long time, even though he was the first to agree to review, but it's still dragging on. The other reviewers I found have already completed their reviews, and the editor has reminded multiple times. I don't know if I should remind the editor in this situation. I'm anxious to graduate and don't know if this situation is normal. Please help!

Peer review has been 20 days and still hasn't been submitted for review... Even my lab partner, who submitted later than me, has received the reviewer's comments quickly. I wonder where the editor has gone...

Currently, both of my reviewers have completed the review process, but there hasn't been any update for 17 days. They must have gone on holiday recently.
