It also been two months after submission, and the status is always under review. I want to ask which email address is for the reminder. I can’t wait for it. Can someone who has submitted guide me? QQ: 445282301, thanks!

3 months to first decision. Accepted after two rounds of change; the editor is very responsible, the reviewer's comments are meticulous and constructive, and the quality of the revised article has been improved.

Please reissue the editorial review status.
Received the acceptance notice in early February, and a few days later sent an email to request proofreading of the content. Overall, the speed was quite fast, but the problem probably arose from one of the reviewers during the minor revisions.

The journal has a good reputation, especially in the field of engineering optimization. Personally, I feel that papers that are closely related to actual industrial processes are more suitable. The review process is too slow, can we speed it up and make it more efficient?

The overall speed of the journal is relatively fast, with high recognition in the field of engineering optimization (although the impact factor is not high). The content of my own paper is about solving optimization problems in the engineering field. There are a total of 2 reviewers, and the questions raised are quite professional and indeed contribute significantly to the improvement of the quality of the paper.

Here is the submission progress recorded on the Taylor & Francis website:
- 10 September 2024: Manuscript Submitted
- 07 November 2024: Revision Required
- 10 December 2024: Revised Manuscript Submitted
- 16 January 2025: Accepted

I was busy with other things in between and did not have time to make timely revisions. It took about a month to make the revisions, but perhaps it could have been faster.

The first trial took 5 months, the second trial took 3 months, no matter how you say it, it is considered a relatively slow pace for a journal.

The journal of ABS2 star rating requires a plagiarism check, with a requirement of less than 20%. My paper on production scheduling optimization was reviewed quickly in the first round, with approval in just one month. There were two reviewers, with a total of over ten comments. After major revisions, one reviewer accepted the paper while the other asked for further grammar corrections. The most frustrating part is that I submitted minor revisions on August 3, 24, and today is January 3, 25, with no updates for a whole five months! I have sent four reminders during this period, but all I received were template replies from the AE, which is driving me crazy.

Is there a word limit for submitting articles to this journal?

The review process for ABS2 star journal is quite fast, with the first review taking only one month, major revisions taking two months, but minor revisions have been pending for three months now. I am truly puzzled by this slow pace of review. Why is the speed of reviewing manuscripts getting slower and slower?

Did you ask for a database submission when applying? How should we submit this information?

(0) Thank | 我昨天没吃饭

It is suggested to do things within one's capabilities. The reviewers of this journal are extremely unprofessional, their research direction is completely different from the submission direction, they provide some very disgusting comments, and then still insist on their wrong opinions after modification. The review process is very long, with the first review taking five months.

Normal process, I will spend approximately one month on writing, then over a month with the editor, and followed by three months of external review. I will submit the manuscript in March and receive feedback for revision on August 1st.

It has been over a week since I submitted my manuscript, and it is still with the Journal Administrator. It has not been with the editor yet. Can anyone who has recently submitted to this journal please help me check if this speed is normal?

Feedback on minor repairs was given at the end of May after the initial investment in January, and acceptance was given in August.

The submission process takes six months, which is considered relatively fast compared to other journals in the past two years. The editorial team is also very good. The initial review took over two months and then required major revisions. The second review also took over two months, and the paper was accepted without further revisions. One of the reviewers agreed to accept the paper, while the other Associate Editor (AE) said they had not received a response for a long time. The AE made the decision to accept the paper after determining that the necessary changes had been made.

It's been three months since the external review, and I sent a reminder letter, but still no response? Do the editors of this journal not check their emails?
