When I submitted, I looked at LetPub and consulted with the teachers around me. They all said it would take a long time, so I was mentally prepared for a year of review. But the result came quickly.

2023.4.18 submitted
2023.4.20 under review
2023.5.31 Major Revision
2023.6.9 Revision submitted
2023.6.20 Minor Revision
2023.6.24 Revision submitted
2023.7.31 Accept

After the minor revisions were completed, it was probably around July 10, 2023, that it was awaiting recommendation, and around July 15, it changed to Awaiting Decision. The decisions for major and minor revisions were almost always returned by reviewers on Thursday or Friday, and the Associate Editor made the decision on the following Monday. This final decision took more time for some reason. Lastly, I would like to thank my advisor, the editor, and the reviewers. The reviewers were very efficient, taking a little over a month for the first review and about a week for the second and third reviews. They were very timely.

202201 hired, to be published on 20221120, with an almost year-long gap. The time interval from being hired to being published is too long, so everyone should be cautious when submitting articles.

After a year and a half, and four reminders, it has been incredibly slow. The first review took nine months, and a new reviewer had to be appointed because the original one did not respond within the allotted time. After acceptance, they even sent an email saying that the LaTeX document was missing and asked for it to be uploaded again...

The process is as follows:
June 24, 2021 - Submitted to Journal/Peer Review in Process
March 31, 2022 - Minor Revision
April 12, 2022 - Revision Submitted/Peer Review in Process
August 12, 2022 - Awaiting Recommendation
September 5, 2022 - Awaiting Decision
September 6, 2022 - Major Revision
September 16, 2022 - Revision Submitted/Peer Review in Process
October 4, 2022 - Make Decision After Immediate Recommendation
October 4, 2022 - Accept
November 18, 2022 - Publish online

Journal impact is acceptable, the difficulty is not high, but the speed is very slow, mainly because the handling by the associate editor is slow.

May I ask what happened in the end? Was it desk rejected?

欧阳 2022-08-29

Can I trouble you all to ask, if the status of a paper changes directly from "Peer Review in Process" to "Make Decision After Immediate Recommendation," does it mean something bad?

xizeliu 2022-08-24

This journal is extremely slow. Submissions made in September 2020 were accepted in January 2022, and it will probably be published in March 2023. In other words, it takes more than 2.5 years from submission to publication. Please do not submit your work to this journal!

I have been waiting for 20 days, and I am still in the editing format review status that everyone is talking about. I sent an email to inquire about the current status of the manuscript and whether it has been submitted for review, but no one responded.

wdbwf 2022-05-31

I submitted it on October 2nd, 21, and it has been in the peer review process ever since. There has been no change until March, 22. Due to my lack of experience in submitting manuscripts, I thought it was still under review. Someone suggested that I follow up, but I was worried that it might not be appropriate to do so, as everyone follows the rules. Suddenly, it was already May 26th, and due to nearing graduation, I needed the article. So, I sent an email asking about the status of my submission, as it had been almost 8 months. The response I received was that the previous editor was unavailable and they needed to find a new editor for review, and they would do it as soon as possible. I was stunned! After hesitating for 2 days, I decided to withdraw the manuscript. Graduation is approaching, and I have mixed feelings.

Later, people must pay attention. Some of the editorial board members of this journal have extremely low efficiency. The time for "peer review in process" (format review by editors, not yet sent for review) can easily take up to six months. The editorial board members themselves don't even know that they are editors. The board members who don't send manuscripts for review in six months are not even fired. This is the most ridiculous magazine I have ever seen. It was very wise for the original poster to leave after three months. If you continue to waste time with this terrible journal, the editors won't even bother with you.

Your speed is considered very fast. In general, it takes about half a year to get the first trial result for Part G in normal circumstances. I feel like a fool if I submit to lj again next time.

The overall difficulty is not high, but the processes of "Awaiting Recommendation" and "Awaiting Decision" are extremely slow.

Is "peer review in process" looking for reviewers, and is "peer review in process" the same as submitting for review?

liujianguo 2022-02-14

20201102 Submission
20210625 Major revision
20210720 Revised
20211109 Minor revision
20211119 Revised
20220125 Accepted.

The review process is extremely slow, with only 2 reviewers, and it takes constant reminders to receive feedback promptly. The article was initially submitted to this journal due to the lack of experiments, and later major revisions required additional experimental data. The exact publication date is still unknown.

The general journal accepted in four months.

七米 2021-12-08

Feeling extremely disappointed. When I wanted to submit, a senior expert advised against submitting to this journal, saying it was a trap. However, I still went ahead with a trial submission. It took over three months for it to be reviewed. What kind of review takes over three months, and then they wasted another half a month making a decision. Truly speechless. Can only say that it's not the worst, there's always something worse.

zzypeter 2021-12-06

The initial review speed is relatively fast.

hzdhym 2021-10-19

The speed was quite fast, and the results came out in just three months. Commentator 1's advice should be to directly reject, as they were very straightforward (both the method and results had nothing new). Commentator 2's suggestion should be considered a minor revision, as they mentioned using references and quantifiable evidence in a certain part.

Submission
Peer review in process (approximately the next day, finding reviewers)
Peer review in process (approximately one week, external review)
Awaiting recommendation and immediately changed to awaiting decision (approximately two and a half months)

It has been revised for over four months, and another reviewer has been added. The result was rejection, and a recommendation was given for an open-access journal.

Speed is extremely slow.

Until now, there is still no result.

The second recommendation has been pending for over three weeks. It may be appropriate to send an email to remind them.

淞淞向上 2021-08-09

May I ask how long you have been waiting at the "awaiting recommendation" stage? After I submitted my application, it took one month for it to reach this status, and it hasn't changed since then.

Jian Li 2021-08-09

Submitted twice, with the following dates:
25-Aug-2020 30-Nov-2020: Major revision;
07-Dec-2020 14-Jan-2021: Major revision;
16-Jan-2021 05-Feb-2021: Accept.

12-Jan-2021 27-Mar-2021: Major revision;
13-Apr-2021 17-May-2021: Major revision;
20-May-2021 03-Aug-2021: Accept.
Both articles were accepted after two major revisions. The review process was slow, sometimes due to the slow pace of reviewers and other times due to the slow pace of associate editors and editors-in-chief. Overall, this journal is relatively easy to get published in, with a formal and responsible review process. However, its influence is very low.

淞淞向上 2021-08-02

Excuse me, how long have you been waiting at the "awaiting recommendation" stage? After I submitted my application, it took a month for it to reach this status, and it hasn't changed ever since.
