Cluster Computing-The Journal of Networks Software Tools and Applications

Everyone is different, some are fast and some are slow. Here is my approximate submission timeline:

1. Submitted at the end of June.
2. Received revision comments at the end of August (sent a reminder once during this period).
3. Received feedback at the beginning of September.
4. Received second round of revisions at the end of November (sent two reminders during this period).
5. Received feedback in early December.
6. Finally received acceptance notification at the end of December without any reminders.

Overall, this journal seems to have certain requirements for the innovation of the paper. They assigned multiple reviewers (at least 7 in total) who were very responsible. However, it seems that they recently changed their submission system, resulting in a particularly long review period. If you feel that the process is taking too long, you can politely send an email to the assistant, who usually responds within a day. I hope this information can help you.

I submitted a paper in the 21st year and it took 8 months for the review process. I had to remind them several times in the middle. Finally, I received the result, which required major revisions. However, when I saw the reviewer's comments, they were clearly unrelated to my paper. I asked the editor to verify if there was a mistake, but the editor said there was no mistake and asked me to respond to the reviewer's comments or resubmit the paper. I was speechless and couldn't afford to wait any longer, so I had to withdraw my submission.
