May I ask how many reviewers and how many rejections?

shanmama 2023-07-27

Did a pretty amazing study, let's try submitting it to NC.

Suddenly updated three things on 7.26:

How did these three things update all at once? I'm confused...

Yes, directly received.

ceragel 2023-07-26

Brother, regarding your rejection and revision, did you give the rejected manuscript to the same reviewer for reevaluation? Did you not send it to the editor afterwards for further review? Is it sufficient for both reviewers to agree to accept it?

Submitted in late October 2022, an email notification will be sent for review after approximately 9 days. The first round of review results will be provided in late December, with a review process of approximately 48 days. There will be one rejection and two minor revisions suggested. The author will be given 3 months to revise the manuscript. After a month of revision, a response to the first round of review comments will be provided in late January, approximately 1 month later. In late January, the rejected submissions will still be rejected, but the two minor revisions will be accepted, and the editor will give conditional acceptance. The subsequent steps involve editing the graphics and language, and formal acceptance will take place in mid-March, with a total review period of approximately 5 months. It is indeed a bit slow.

May I ask how long it takes to receive the invoice notification?

May I ask if you are the layout fee for invoice payment? How long does it take to receive the link?

Hello, I would like to ask if Nature Communications has a Latex template?

Shaun 2023-06-22

I would like to ask you a question, experts. Is it necessary to disclose one's experimental data in an NC article? Because I collaborated with someone on the data, they may need the code and data for their future articles, so I prefer not to disclose it for now. Can it be like other journals and not be disclosed?

Accepted in the third round of review.

In general, for computer and engineering technology, nc is still very difficult. The results are usually released in about 1-2 months per submission, which is relatively fast compared to IEEE journals. However, the revision period is very long and every comment must be taken very seriously. The reviewers are experts in the field, and the review process is very meticulous. Even in positive feedback, they provided more than 40 comments, which were all insightful!

The second review gave a conditional acceptance, with modifications made to the paper format, especially the images.

Runx 2023-06-14

The first review recommended major revisions, with a total of more than 40 comments from three reviewers. The overall feedback was quite positive, and the authors were given three months to make the revisions. The revision process took four months (including a one-month extension requested by the editor). Many additional experiments were conducted and significant adjustments were made to the paper's structure.

Not an ordinary slowness. Not recommended for submission. If it is truly a good magazine as some people say, the review period would not be very long.

咳咳咳咳 2023-06-11

Hasn't it been submitted for review yet, OP?

Posted for 10 days, it has been in the hands of the editor for 8 days, and there is still no news of review or rejection. I hope it can be reviewed.
