Excuse me, what does it mean when a reviewer agrees to review and then close?

逆风 2021-12-21

Overall, the review process is relatively fast. Either major revisions or rejection are required. Seven or eight reviewers were invited, and the last two reviewers agreed to review. It feels like the review process was delayed due to the pandemic. Previously, it mainly stayed with the associate editor for a month and took another month to be reviewed. The introduction and innovation need to be well-written, and the re-review process is also relatively fast, taking about a week.

The manuscript has been under review for over thirty days. It is about quality measurement of light beams. Among the three reviewers, one had a neutral opinion, the second one was relatively positive, and the third one stated, "Although there are some interesting points, I am afraid that the novelty and impact cannot meet the requirements of Optics Express." As a result, the opportunity for revision was not given and the paper was rejected. It's my first SCI paper, so it's quite disappointing. I have seen many of my classmates getting their papers accepted by Optics Express in the past two years, but I never expected to be rejected right after my first review. I guess my work wasn't good enough, and my research field is relatively niche with relatively simple theory. Now, I'm not sure where to submit next. Can anyone recommend some fast reviewing journals in the third quartile?

Assign editor for 20 days. The editor said it was an article previously submitted by the research group and was rejected, but that article has already been accepted by another journal. We have explained this, but it was still rejected...

梦想成真 2021-12-07

Last night, the system finally displayed the acceptance. Finally, I can be relieved. I should be able to receive the email tonight. Now it is in the final format check status.

梦想成真 2021-12-06

Has anyone encountered this situation?

梦想成真 2021-12-06

Why hasn't the editor made the final decision after I submitted the revised manuscript? It's been a week already, and the editor still hasn't made a decision. I suddenly feel disappointed. In the past, there would be a final decision the day after I submitted. I don't know what happened this time. Is it a tragedy?

For the same OSA, if you submit again, you will receive a letter during the quality check asking for the differences between this submission and the previously submitted PR. How should the original poster reply?

英雄赵铁柱 2021-11-10

I totally agree! The final text editing messed up my table content like crazy. I corrected A and then B was wrong again. Then I corrected B again, and the first correction of A went wrong again. It took me four or five proofs to finally fix it, and in the end, the table was still inserted as an image. I'm speechless about OE's text editing.

I have been reviewing for two months, still in the process of reviewing, and there is no progress. This time is so slow!

天高云淡123 2021-10-30

May I ask about your status? I have submitted mine two months ago, but there has been no review yet. Since September 3rd, I have been waiting for three deadlines, and I don't know what to do.

optics 皮卡丘 2021-10-25

Not satisfied even though you got OE?

zydong1107 2021-10-23

9.2 Submission OE has been almost two months and only one reviewer has completed the review. The second reviewer is overdue by almost a month and has been reminded by the system four times. The third reviewer is also overdue and has been reminded twice by the system. It has been nearly two months since the review process started. Should I send an email to the editor to remind them? Is it possible that the reviewers have forgotten and are continuously delaying?

First submitted to Photonics Research, it was rejected immediately. The editor recommended submitting to Optics Express instead.

So I switched and successfully submitted for review. The comments from the two reviewers were positive, and I was notified of acceptance within a month.

The progress so far was quick, but I must say that the level of text editing was not commendable. In the first round of revisions, the author's affiliations were rearranged, and the editing format for tables had various issues, so a letter was sent requesting further revisions. In the second round of revisions, to my surprise, the editor directly changed the order of the authors and replaced the first author! What's even more embarrassing is that, possibly because we had already paid the submission fee after the first round of revisions, the option to confirm the modified proof did not appear in the system after the second round of revisions, so it automatically went into the publishing stage... I hurriedly sent an email to the editorial department to request confirmation of the final version, and I am still waiting for the result.

I really didn't expect to encounter such a hiccup in submitting my first job. I hope the editorial department of Optics Express can provide some thorough training for their text editors...

Generally speaking, if a manuscript is rejected by OE, it is certain that OL will also not be accepted. Please refer to the following difficulty ranking for manuscript submission: OL>=OE > AO>=JOSA-A.

May I ask, when you resubmit, can you see the review progress in the peerview dropdown menu? For example, the reviewers and the review status. It has been ten days and there has been no movement.

Overall, the initial review process took longer to find reviewers, but the rest was quite efficient. Hopefully, the journal will continue to improve and learn from neighboring journals with higher impact factors.

7.23 submission, 8.30 major revision, request for deadline extension, 9.21 submission of major revision, 9.22 decision for re-evaluation, 10.4 manuscript accepted.
For the re-evaluation, there were three reviewers, but personally, I feel that the order of reviewers in the comments for revisions is inconsistent. Two reviewers completed their review within three days. On 9.26, the editor urged the first reviewer, but it has been in waiting status. On 10.4, the editor accepted without waiting for the first reviewer. Let's work hard and hope for luck. Good luck to everyone~~

重投需要response letters translates to "Reapplying requires response letters" in English.

The article was received the day after it was submitted for revision. Regarding OE, the review process mainly focuses on the reply stage between reviewers and the urging reviewer. The acceptance difficulty is clearly easier compared to IEEE journals. Furthermore, good writing, visually appealing charts, a certain level of response, and two or more innovations make it relatively easy to be accepted.

Hello, may I ask if a response letter is required for reapplication?

jiaming123 2021-08-01

Hello, I received an email informing me how to make changes. There is a name of an author that has an ambiguity between Chinese and English. I just need to make the changes as he mentioned. There should be a notification email, so please take a careful look at the email content again.

In the field of image processing, I submitted two papers consecutively and both were accepted. Nice! The whole process, from submission to acceptance, went smoothly. Thank you to everyone who shared their insights before.

I was only given 10 days for revision. On the second day after I finished, the reviewer raised some comments, so the editor rejected my submission. This journal does not allow for a second round of revisions, so I have to submit it again.

让我中吧 2021-07-27

I am also a reviewer, and the reviewer asked for major revisions, but then the editor rejected it for no reason. It's inexplicable. I suggest submitting it to technology.

Still waiting for the result of the repeat review. It took two months to find a reviewer for the initial review, and the process continued after major revisions were made.
