May I ask the system to return the modifications, but the system cannot find any modification suggestions and there are no emails either. What's going on?

What should I do if it has been sitting idle in the hands of the assistant editor?

This year, two papers were accepted, and the first review for both papers was returned in about 20 days. The journal had a very efficient review process.

The first paper was accepted in 33 days by the associate editor from Tsinghua University (THU). After revisions, it was accepted without further review.

The second paper was accepted in 53 days by the associate editor from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). After revisions, it was sent for a second review, which also took around 20 days, but no further feedback was given.

It has been 4 days, and it is still in the hands of the deputy editor. What's going on? o(╥﹏╥)o

南天问月 2022-10-12

Posted on September 29th, currently still in the process of review and assigning reviewers. The current status is alternating between Associate Editor Review and Securing Reviewer(s). This is my first submission to this journal, hoping for a positive outcome.

Do I need to upload images separately for the first submission? Or is a complete Word document sufficient?

wnengyg 2022-10-06

I feel that this journal is very diverse, with some articles on chemical engineering appearing in it. They cannot be categorized under the field of physics - mechanics! I keep receiving special issue submissions every few days.

Hire for 2 months, hope POF will do better and better.

Brother, have you changed the reviewer for the second review?

wszll 2022-09-17

First review: 20 days, four reviewers, major revisions provided.
Second review: 10 days, one reviewer, accepted directly.

LP 2022-09-04

If we start to choose the OA submission method, what are the differences compared to the traditional model? Will it be helpful for peer review?

随欲 2022-08-08

Selected as Editor's Pick. So happy.

随欲 2022-08-08

Choose no. The article must not have any grammar errors. Double-check it carefully or use software to check it.

May I ask if the submitted manuscript needs to be proofread or not? If "no" is chosen, the editor will reject it directly. If "yes" is chosen, the editor requires the submission of a proofreading certificate. I would like to know how the original poster dealt with this issue.

May I ask if the submission needs to be proofread? If you choose "yes," the editor requires you to upload a proofreading certificate. If you choose "no," the editor will reject it directly. May I ask how the original poster handles this situation?

随欲 2022-08-04

Did you receive the uploaded marked manuscripts and final versions, as well as all the pictures?

AKHAKH 2022-08-03

Isn't it just about deleting the old version and adding the new one? How are you doing now, OP?

随欲 2022-08-02

First review took over 20 days, revisions took 18 days, second review took 3 days, minor revisions took 2 days, and then it took 2 more days for acceptance. In total, it took over 40 days. I still have a strong attachment to PoF. Since the first article was accepted in this journal in 2018, I have submitted many articles here. However, this self-citation is truly touching, but also carries great risks.

爱学习的东东 2022-07-21

Hello everyone, hello experts. After you made modifications, did you delete the previous versions before submitting? After I made modifications, I deleted all the previous versions and re-uploaded the manuscript, marked manuscript, and images. Will this trigger a re-review? Currently, it shows "Editing in progress," and it feels like it is being reviewed again.

Hello, after you made the edits, did you delete the previous version before submitting? After I made the edits, I deleted all the previous versions and re-uploaded the manuscript, mark manuscript, and images. Will this trigger a re-review? Currently, it shows as "editorial distribution," giving me the feeling that it's being reviewed again.

爱学习的东东 2022-07-21

Hello, after you made the changes, did you delete the previous versions before submitting? After I made the changes, I deleted all the previous versions and re-uploaded the revised manuscript, marked manuscript, and images. Will this trigger a fresh review? Currently, it shows that the editor has been assigned, so it feels like it is being reviewed again.

denisuuk 2022-07-13

The first article was submitted to PoF, and after about twenty days, we received reviewer comments. After making the revisions, it was accepted in about ten days. Needless to say, PoF's recognition is high, but the self-citation rate is indeed a bit excessive...

随欲 2022-06-29

Self-citation rate is 44.4%, I dare not submit this article again. I will submit others such as PRF, PRE, Soft Matter.

外向的孤独患者 2022-06-29

According to what you're saying, JFM's self-reference rate is even higher.

wnengyg 2022-06-29

The amount of manuscripts has increased fourfold, the self-citation rate is approaching 50%. It seems like this is self-destructive behavior!!!

wnengyg 2022-06-29

Oh no, self-citations are nearly 50%, if this continues, will I be excluded from SCI?!

cfdwt 2022-06-29

PoF needs to control its self-quotation rate, it's too high and will be suppressed.

外向的孤独患者 2022-06-13

I am working on the flow under rotational conditions. I submitted the initial draft on April 20th and received notice of acceptance on June 9th. It was really fast. POF, as one of the top three journals in the field of fluid dynamics, has both high efficiency and quality.

王栗秭 2022-06-11

Hello, may I ask:
Before we may begin the peer review process, please address the following:

* Figures 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 contain multiple figure parts. Add these sublabels to your captions. The sublabels (a) and (b) need to be included in the figure caption, not just in the figure.
Example: FIG. 2. xxxx. (a) xxxx. (b) xxxx.
What does this specific image modification mean? The example provided in the figure number of the upload system is 2a, 2b, but it keeps getting stuck at the check step after several modifications.
Sorry to bother you, qq: 1721219218

SAY 2022-06-10

The first article of my doctoral thesis, at the time I tried submitting it to POF, after all, it has been well-known for a long time. The speed was really fast, it's truly a godsend for doctoral students. My classmate received review comments within 20 days (from 2 reviewers), while mine took around 30 days (from three reviewers), but the review comments were quite professional. I also hope that POF will continue to improve.
