Update status:
I helped to find 5 reviewers: Waiting, Due (December 19, 2021). It has been 3 days overdue, and only one reviewer is willing to review. The other 4 have not responded at all.

Is it three months for the first review? My goodness, I have to go and ask, is it because they can't find a reviewer or someone has been dragging it along?

Just one month, and I have been peering for three months.

An old professional journal in the field of optics.
It used to publish some good articles, but with the rise of journals such as OL and OE, its influence has gradually declined.
Its impact factor is not high, and it is not highly regarded domestically.
However, it has fallen into the fourth quartile in the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking, which is somewhat pitiful.

May I ask how long it took for the peer review to find reviewers for you? Do I need to write a reminder letter?

What happened later? I have also been waiting for nearly a month for the peer review without a list of reviewers.

It has been over a month since the peer review process started on November 23rd, and there is still no assigned reviewer. Colleagues who submitted their manuscripts later than me have already entered the first review stage. The peer review process usually includes information on reviewer 1, reviewer 2, reviewer 3, etc. I'm not sure what's happening.

Where can I see information about the schedule and status of the reviewers?

May I ask the researchers who have already accepted the research, in the field of physics-optics, how long does it usually take for the peer review process after submitting? Please share your experiences.

What direction did you submit? What is the general rejection feedback?

It took a full three months for the review process, but the results turned out pretty good and the paper was accepted after revisions.

Sigh, it was a bittersweet submission experience, took an extra two months compared to the usual.

One review for 2 months;
After the major repairs, it was accepted within 3 days, very fast speed.

This issue of the journal is so fast, it's amazing. After submitting the revised manuscript for an hour, it was accepted directly. I have never seen such speed.

In response to the comment below, using the submission account, which is the corresponding author, one can make modifications to the paper. Clicking on "accepted manuscript" allows for downloading the accepted version of the paper for preview.

May I ask if Appiled Optics sent an email saying that they have received it and that the format can be modified within 48 hours? However, I couldn't find where to modify the format on their official website. Can you please guide me? What will happen if I click on the "Accepted manuscript PDF" section?

好运相伴 2021-08-22

I am a novice in scientific research. This is my first SCI paper, and it went relatively smoothly. However, the peer review process was very strict. They assigned 12 reviewers to my paper continuously (it seems like editors like to gather a group of reviewers together). Among them, 3 reviewers declined to review, and 1 was not familiar with the field. After the fastest two reviewers completed their reviews, the editor did not reply to us. Even after the third reviewer completed the review, the editor still did not reply to us. At that time, I was wondering how many reviewers it would take to consider it finished. Finally, after the fourth reviewer completed the review, the editor sent us the review comments. By then, it had been one and a half months since the initial submission, and the editor did not wait for other reviewers. Two reviewers gave highly positive evaluations, one reviewer found the work interesting, and the other did not express their attitude. The four reviewers raised 15 questions, but they were not major issues. We were given 21 days to make revisions. After carefully revising for 17 days, we returned the revised paper along with a 15-page response letter. The editor directly accepted it.

Hello, may I ask how many peer review comments you received in the end if only one person returned their comments within the specified time?

The speed is quite fast, with three reviewers assigned. Only one returned their comments within the deadline, and the questions raised were not particularly sharp. After making revisions, the article was accepted, and the editor also helped with the rearrangement of the layout. The cost was zero, and overall satisfaction is high.

It has been a week since I submitted AO, and the editors have not been assigned yet. Is this a normal situation? Should I remind them?

小白2020 2021-07-26

No need to operate, it directly published afterwards.

liuguangli 2021-07-23

I am currently in the same situation. How did you eventually resolve it? Do we still need to take the next step?

Klaatu 2021-07-22

Reviewer 1 Agree (June 9, 2021) Complete (June 22, 2021)
Reviewer 2 More Time Approved (June 23, 2021) Waiting, Due (July 17, 2021)
Last Reminder Date (July 19, 2021)

Encountered a frustrating reviewer, reminded twice by the editor but still no feedback received. Sigh.
