Finally, after half a year of struggle, I finally made it. Here is a summary of the submission process:

August 5th - Submitted
August 8th - With editor
August 24th - Under review (with multiple date changes during this period)
December 25th - Revision (had to urge once, otherwise would have to wait longer)
December 31st - Submitted revised manuscript
February 7th - Accepted (result of urging)

The experience of organizing this was not good, it was very tiresome. It was necessary to urge customer service and the editor. I will not consider ATE in the short term.

to Case Studies in Thermal Engineering. After checking, I found that it is also a Q2 journal and requires a publication fee of $700. What is going on? [Facepalm]

阿兰 2022-01-12

Did Xiaoxiu return to the editor after a week? Does anyone have any relevant experience?

Most likely, my "Under review" status has changed 6 or 7 times already. I don't understand what the editors are doing, they have to invite one by one. If this paper gets rejected, I will never submit to this journal again, gladly and decisively.

阿兰 2021-11-14

Truth, most likely another reviewer has been assigned. I have sent back four reviewers and the under review time has not changed.

真理 2021-11-14

November 12th Under review The time has been updated again. Did the reviewer finish reviewing and then invite a new one again? I already can't understand it.

熊@熊 2021-11-13

A very good journal, the opinions provided by the reviewers are highly professional.

真理 2021-11-08

Still under review, personally I think this editor insists on having the opinions of three people before giving up. At the end of September, one person's opinion came back, and he re-invited two people (one reviewer and one rejector); at the end of October, another person's opinion came back, and he invited one more, indicating that he just wants three.

阿兰 2021-11-06

Can I ask the person upstairs whether the opinions of the two reviewers are still "Under review" or "required review completed"?

有梦想的陽 2021-11-03

Received after repair on November 1st, the efficiency of the reviewers and editors is commendable.

真理 2021-11-01

The first review has been going on for 3 months, it's really slow.
I recently asked customer service, and they said that the opinions of two people have already come back. On October 28th, the editor invited another reviewer, it seems that the editor insists on having opinions from 3 people.
The date "Under Review" was updated on October 28th, so it can be inferred that the date was updated when inviting the reviewer, and the date for the reviewer's opinions should remain unchanged.
I hope the invited reviewer accepts the review quickly. If everything goes smoothly, the first review should be finished by the end of November, which would make it almost 4 months. After that, I won't submit to ATE anymore.

The reviewer's comments have come back on October 23, 2021. There is one major revision, one minor revision, and one rejection. The final decision was rejection. Although it was not accepted, I am still very grateful to this journal. The process was fast and did not take up too much time. Moreover, the reviewer's comments were very professional. I will submit to this journal again in the future.

Hello, I am also preparing to submit to this journal. I would like to know if it is possible to recommend reviewers when submitting the manuscript.

The time for "under review" has changed to November 10th. Does it mean there are review comments?

真理 2021-10-05

On October 4th, there was an update on the status of your manuscript, indicating that the invited reviewers have likely accepted the review or have completed it.

科研仕子小马 2021-10-04

The article was submitted for review on the 10th of March. It took 10 days for the review process, including two weekends. The speed was acceptable.

真理 2021-10-03

Your editor is so fast, while it took me three weeks to submit for review.

有梦想的陽 2021-09-30

Posted on July 28th, approximately one week with the editor, the middle date has changed. Under review on August 5th, feedback received on September 6th, with more than 20 comments from three reviewers, the editor requested major revisions.
Returned for revisions on September 26th, still with the editor until now. The speed of the review process feels unexpectedly fast, but the time with the editor is slightly longer. I hope the journal continues to improve!

被遗忘的风 2021-09-30

Is there any news? This journal is too slow.

科研仕子小马 2021-09-28

Today, the time with the editor has changed, which is a bit strange.

科研仕子小马 2021-09-27

Record the time points. Almost graduating, only left with some small tasks of radiation refrigeration. Trying to submit.
20210923: Submission
20210927: To the editor
Not sure if it can be reviewed.

阿兰 2021-09-17

May I ask how long it will take for the review process, and how long does the first review usually last?

真理 2021-09-16

September 15th Under Review, there should be some feedback coming back.
