Mine was also submitted on April 22nd. It's already May 4th, but it still shows "initial assessment." I don't know what went wrong. ?

After the major revision was submitted, it remained in the "with editor" status. Despite reminders sent to the editorial office, there was no response. It was only after a month that the comments came back, revealing that the original two reviewers had conducted a second review.

The image does not require such high demands, it is sufficient to handle it normally and place it clearly in the body of the text.

The work was done in calculations, but it was sent to two experimental reviewers who looked down on the computational work subjectively. They hastily raised 2-3 minor issues and rejected the submission. The experience was also very poor, and the reviewer's comments were not helpful for the article. It can only be said that submitting also depends on luck, and I hope for better luck in the future!

Who can answer, does this journal require images to be at least 600 dpi? Does the same requirement apply to images inserted in Word? High quality images can either be embedded in a doc(x) file or provided as separate numbered Figures, Schemes or Charts in .tif, .eps or .pdf format, with a resolution of 600 dpi or greater.

The review process took three weeks, and after a week and a half of revisions, it was submitted. It was accepted three days later.

RSC journals now send a link to the submission email to track the manuscript, allowing authors to see the progress of their submission, the assigned editor, the number of reviewers who agreed to review the manuscript, and the number of review comments received.

May I ask why I can't see how many reviewers there are? Some reviewers have rejected the review, right? Is it only possible to see this if I have a submission account?

Elmagnifico 2022-01-20

Share personal experience, I have written down specific dates that I can remember, for those I can't remember, please understand.

10/25/2021: Submitted the manuscript, initial assessment took 2 days. On 10/28, it entered peer review. On 11/1, one reviewer agreed to review, and after another week (I forgot which day), the second reviewer agreed to review. Then, there was a long wait until late November when one review comment was received, but the second comment was still not received. In early December, the editor found a third reviewer.

12/14/2021: First review completed, received 2 reports with a total of 13 questions, some major and some minor. The editor requested major revisions.

01/06/2022: Completed the revisions and submitted.

01/10/2022: Accepted.

01/19/2022: Proof is ready for checking (I'm not sure what this is called in Chinese either).

Overall, the experience was good. The reviewers were very thorough. As our article was very long, with additional materials of over 10,000 words, one reviewer even discovered a spelling mistake in the annotation of one of our figures (it was too meticulous, no wonder it took over a month for the review). Previously, we submitted the article to EES and it was rejected after the second review. Although it was highly innovative, there were indeed some flaws. The reviewers' comments were quite insightful, and the overall evaluation was fair.

For our unnamed small research group, after countless rejections, finally having an article accepted was not easy.

Have you returned with the revised suggestions?

In my first week, I was also sent back to the editing department again. It should be because the reviewer rejected it, and then it was submitted for review again.

"12.23 in peer review" translates to "12.23 undergoing peer review" in English.

Just to add, there will be a major revision of 1.4. Once submitted, the review process will still be relatively short.
