As of now, the editor has still not made a decision. It has been four months since the review comments were returned. Can't they at least give a response, whether it is acceptance or rejection? It would be better to reject it quickly if that's the case. It's really difficult to handle wasting the students' time like this. Graduation is approaching, sigh.

First submitted back in June 2022, after undergoing two rounds of major revisions and one round of minor revision, it has finally been accepted on January 8th, 2022, which is seven months later.

The reviewers were very challenging (My rebuttal files alone amount to over 20,000 words). This journal undoubtedly deserves to be recognized as one of the top publications in the field of mechatronics and control engineering.

Employed for 22 years, the second district has changed to the first district. I will immediately submit another article and hope to be given a chance. Haha.

Just released, go and check the zoning table of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It seems that the upgraded version of 2022 has moved to Zone 1.

Why does it change to "Awaiting Reviewer Assignment" after being "Under Review" for a month?

The journal has a good reputation, but it has dropped to Zone 2 in the Chinese Academy of Sciences classification. It is still unfair for students in domestic robot research. The zones for good journals are not high.

piggy_one 2022-11-21

It's already the third reminder, and all three responses say that the review has already come back and they are waiting for the editor. Articles submitted one month later than mine for early access on the website have already been revised twice. It's frustrating. I was hoping to graduate next year using it.

Three reviewers in the first round provided fairly constructive questions, with an average of 4-5 questions per reviewer. We carefully responded to each question. The re-evaluation process was slow, but both reviewers agreed to publish.

First-round review by four reviewers, answered all questions, except for the last one, which only partially followed their advice. Passed the second-round review directly.

小A 2022-10-28

And shouldn't the technical editor gather the opinions of the reviewers to come to a conclusion on the manuscript? It's unbelievable that they can completely disregard the opinions of the reviewers and provide several completely wrong suggestions on their own!

小A 2022-10-28

Shouldn't the technical editor read the paper before rejecting it? The six review comments are completely based on a misinterpretation of the paper. Even if my paper is garbage, the editor's feedback is even worse!

一木seu 2022-10-24

It is not only the reviewers who will show "under review," but also the Technical Editor (TE) will show "under review." The comment above mentioned that it takes three months in the hands of the TE.

一木seu 2022-10-20

Has it been arbitrated? How is it now?

清晨看露 2022-10-17

Major Revision refers to a significant overhaul or extensive modification of a written work. 拒稿重投会写reject and resubmit means that if a manuscript is rejected, the author is given the opportunity to revise it and resubmit it for reconsideration.

我是冷锋 2022-10-14

Hello, does this journal have a major revision option or is it reject and resubmit? Today, I received a Reject & Resubmit decision and I'm not sure if I should continue. The feedback given is vague, and I'm unsure if there is any hope. Thank you!

我是冷锋 2022-10-14

Hello, may I ask if you directly wrote the major revision? Or is it a rejection and resubmission? Thank you!

After going through a year of acceptance and multiple revisions, the process has been arduous, but it has greatly improved and helped both the article and my own research. This journal has high requirements for innovation, demanding theoretical innovation and technical contributions in the articles. The opinions of the editors and reviewers are very professional! The external review process is fast, but the time taken by the editors for handling is a bit long, as they make decisions cautiously.

Just to add, I noticed that many people misunderstand the "under review" status as being sent for external review. I would like to share my understanding. Tmech first goes through the EIC, then is assigned to an SE for review. After the SE's approval, it is assigned to a TE for review. Once the TE starts reviewing, the article's status changes to "Under review." Here, "under review" refers to being under review by the TE. After the TE's review, the article goes through the process of being assigned to reviewers, scoring, and so on, which is the external review stage. It then goes through further scrutiny by TE, SE, and EIC before a final decision is made.

Finally, I wish everyone successful research and the publication of good papers!

piggy_one 2022-09-21

It has been over four months since submission, and I am still awaiting review scores. I emailed the editor last week to inquire about it, and the editor replied that the comments have been received, but it is still in the hands of the editor. Could it be that it encountered arbitration? I request someone knowledgeable to come forward and interpret this for me.

09-Aug-2022 Revised Submission
19-Sep-2022 Acceptance

Maybe I was lucky, but the reviewers and editors handled the process quickly, and it was accepted in less than four months. The journal is excellent and encourages multiple submissions. However, they do have some requirements for innovation.

1. 2021.12.3 Submission
2. 2022.2.26 Major revision, three reviewers, close to 45 suggestions
3. 2022.4.29 Submitted revised manuscript
4. 2022.6.15 Major revision, one reviewer still unsatisfied, raised around 10 more questions
5. 2022.7.21 Submitted revised manuscript again
6. 2022.9.17 Finally, all three reviewers agreed to accept it

The entire cycle of TMECH lasted for 9 and a half months. For those who are not in a hurry, they can submit their manuscript. The reviewers have high expectations for innovation and are very concerned about the details in the paper. Indeed, it is a top journal in the field of mechatronics. I probably won't submit again in the future as the time cycle is too long.
