I personally feel that this journal has a lot of reviewers. In my experience, there were no less than 6. The comments raised were very detailed, many and sharp as well. The requirements for the grammar of the article are very high; the editor also pays high attention to the formulas and symbols; some minor errors can also be found. The review time is okay. However, several times of revision were required, and it seems that the time has become very long recently. This journal is a well-known journal in the industry and a top journal with great influence.

It is my first time to submit a manuscript to this journal, with the attitude of having it a try. I submitted the manuscript at the end of May 2020, and the comments of the first review were returned in two months. Seven reviewers were invited and the comments of five reviewers were returned. Judging from the personal experience of article publication, I feel that there were too many reviewers. There are usually about 4 reviewers for journals like Trans. After a month of revision, the revised manuscript was uploaded in early September, and it was soon sent for review. The notice of acceptance was received on September 25. It took nearly 4 months from submission to acceptance, which can be calculated as a very quick journal. The editor-in-chief is very efficient! Worthy of praise! I wish the journal will be better and better! It is said that the journal is a well-known and influential journal in the field of computer and network. And it is a Tsinghua University recommended journal in computer science category B. The editor-in-chief is very capable. In his early years, he had independently-finished article published in IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, and top journals in the communication field such as IEEE Communications Magazine, IEEE Communications Surveys

Fortunately, I had 2 articles accepted by this journal. It took 8 months on average before acceptance. There were three reviews and two revisions. I was exhausted and hard-working in each revision. The requirements were very strict, the review was very strict, and the quality was high. It deserves to be a top journal. The overall feeling is that it is much more difficult than IEEE Access, and it took a long time. The journal has very high grammar requirements, and the articles need to be polished by a professional team!

This is a well-known journal in the field of computers and networks. It is very influential, and the review is standard. I am fortunate to have one of my papers accepted. The review period was more than 5 months. I was required to return minor revisions within 2 months, and the paper was accepted within 1 month after the revision. Personally, I think that it is a very good publication.

I submitted another article, it has been over a month with the editor, what's going on? It has become so slow, even when I send emails to urge for the manuscript, there is no response.

The review speed was extremely poor, with the first review taking nearly a year. During this period, I contacted the editor and chief editor numerous times. The chief editor passed the responsibility to the editor, who ignored my emails. In the end, I had no choice but to withdraw the paper. The chief editor replied, "I am sorry that the previous editor did not complete the review of this paper. I will be carrying out the rest of the review of your paper."

The opinions of the two reviewers did not contribute significantly to improving the quality of the paper. The chief editor rejected it, and I subsequently submitted it to another journal, where it was accepted.
