First submitted to Cell, but unfortunately the editing was not suitable. Then tried Nature, after some tinkering, it was suggested to transfer to NC. The following is a detailed timeline:

First round (the first round was quite fast, the editor was very responsible and efficient). Combined with the input of three reviewers to supplement the experiments.

2.22 Submission
2.25 Decision made to review
But until now, it has been 19 days on 3.16, and there is still no "All reviewers assigned". How long does it usually take for everyone from submission to "All reviewers assigned"?
I think 10 days at most should be enough. Is it because our field of engineering is relatively niche and it is difficult to contact reviewers?

The articles published by NC in the field of microbial ecology are still authoritative.

Replying to the questions from several commenters:

1. Have you uploaded the raw data?
Yes, I have uploaded it to the Zenodo online repository, and then I included the DOI in the data availability statement.

2. Is the third round a minor revision? How long did it take?
The third round resulted in acceptance. After the third round of review, the status changed to "under consideration" for 15 days, and on the same day, the editor made the decision. Prior to receiving the comments from the second round of review, the editor also included some editorial comments and made a preliminary decision to accept, so there were no further comments in the third round.

3. Have you used a preprint?
No, I have not.

Recently, I just received an NC (name of conference), and I want to share the submission process.

August 6, 2021 - Submitted the paper
September 28, 2021 - First round, major revision (two reviewers suggested modifications and both accepted after revisions. A total of 18 questions were asked)
November 3, 2021 - Returned for revisions
December 7, 2021 - Second round, major revision (only the first reviewer had one question, felt our response was not satisfactory, and requested major revisions from the editor)
December 26, 2021 - Returned for revisions
February 7, 2022 - Provisionally accepted, preparing to address the editor's formatting requirements

Overall, the reviewers were very professional and asked very insightful questions. The remaining question from the second round of review was very important, which we had not considered before. After addressing the question and completing the experiment, we found it to be very valuable and provided significant reference for our future work.

The editing team was also very meticulous and cautious in each round.

Hello, may I ask if the first round of review requires major revisions? The editor has provided a lot of suggestions regarding the article format and uploading of raw data. Should these suggestions be included in the revised manuscript? Or should I wait for the editor to confirm acceptance before modifying their suggestions? I noticed that you started on the fourth round, thank you.

It's okay, it has nothing to do with whether you can accept it or not... You can choose to make it public or not, preprint.

Hello, how did you know it was Zhongxiu? Is it because they were given three months to make revisions?
