23/May/2019 submission; 3/Dec/2019 rejected. The rejection opinion was that in the second revision I did not revise according to the opinion in the second reviewer, resulting in quite sharp issues in the last review and the rejection by the editor. After the first major revision, only one reviewer’s comments could be found. The second reviewer’s comments were blank and there were no attachments. So, I thought that I passed the second reviewer. I had to resign myself to be unlucky. I don't want to appeal, looking forward to getting out of the shadow early. The editor processed extremely slowly for whom it takes a month to make a decision. If you encounter it, you will have no choice but consider yourself unlucky. They have wasted me half a year for their problems, and I will no longer submit to this journal.

It took about half a year from submission to acceptance, and it went through a major revision and a minor revision. In general, the editing efficiency was very high, and the time was wasted mainly on finding reviewers. It took two months for the first review, and nearly another two months for the revision during the Spring Festival. It was accepted on the next day after the resubmission of minor revision and published online soon. I will submit to MC if there’s a chance in the future. It’s highly recommended! October 31, 2018, submission. January 21, 2019, revise. April 22, 2019, minor revision. May 5, 2019, accept.

My paper focused on the study of the recrystallization process of aluminum alloys. After my submission to JAC was rejected, my submission to this journal was much smoother in comparison. Only three reviewers gave comments in total.

Does anyone know? The first review has been in revision for a month and has not been submitted for review. It is still in the hands of the editor, what should I do? Asked the Elsevier customer service and they said to email the editor, but there has been no response.

The editor did not send it for review, but directly accepted it on April 17, 2024.

The editor must review and provide feedback before we can see it, and we can speculate that the reviewer who provided comments is a new addition.

Excuse me, where can I see who the new reviewer is for the second review? I can only see a few reviewers on the Elsevier official account, but I can't see their names or other information.

Thank you for your reply, I have received it. I am currently revising the manuscript.

Any news yet? Why don't you send an email to follow up? It's really torturing me. I only received one review comment on my article, but the editor didn't wait and requested major revisions. After revising, I had to wait for over a month to hear back and finally get acceptance. It's so hard to find reviewers.

How can I view information about invited reviewers while in the "under review" status? Where can I see "Reviews completed" and "Review invitations accepted"?

Why is it so slow? One month with the editor, one month with RRC, and then another half month holding onto it before sending it back for review.

投稿后With Editor两个月，中间没消息，直接拒没理由，这个期刊可以拉黑了

After 10 months, it is finally received.

On the afternoon of April 2nd, the second reviewer accepted the review. By late evening around 9 o'clock, the review feedback was transmitted back. The current status is "Required Reviews Complete."

Thank you for your reply, big brother. The main issue is that every time the manuscript is reviewed, there are new comments, and the process takes a very long time. I don't know when it will end.

Completed on 31st March, 2024, submitted, With editor.

This slightly older journal has been like this in recent years. I submitted it in October last year and only received it in April. I can't find the reviewer, so be patient, there will definitely be good results.

(0) Thank | 噼里啪啦wool

The article was submitted at the end of May 2024 and is currently undergoing the second round of review. Does anyone know what's going on with this journal? There were two reviewers in the first round, and a new reviewer was assigned for the second round after revisions. After the second round of revisions, another reviewer has now been invited.

The review process is so slow. The second article has been accepted while the first one is still under review. It's been almost six months now and there hasn't been any feedback on the major revisions for over a month.

(0) Thank | 噼里啪啦wool

I still haven't received any news. Have you followed up? It's been two months already.
