The first time for submitting to ND. I do research in the multi-agent collaborative control direction. It lasted for 4 months, first review for 3 months, second review for 1 month, then it got accepted. There were two reviewers before and after. 18 Jun 2020 submitted; 12 Sep 2020 major revision; 21 Sep 2020 resubmitted; 27 Oct 2020 accept. Generally speaking, the journal has high requirements for innovation in papers.

Be careful! I have published some articles in other journals before. I want to give it a try to NODY before graduation. From submission to rejection, it took one year. 16 Jul 2018 submitted; 2 Nov 2018 major revision; 1 Dec 2019 resubmitted; 12 Mar 2019 major revision; 20 Apr 2019 resubmitted; 08 Jul 2019 Reject. Although there were a lot of problems during the first revision, I personally felt okay. In the second time, new reviewers raised some sharp questions, but I had to add proofs and experiments. I was so afraid but it finally got rejected. I was not convinced and wrote to the editor in chief, requesting an arbitration, but I am still waiting for the reply. Students who have good papers in the top hands of the second district and have plenty of time can try NODY. Unexpectedly, they give the author three or four months for each major revision.

NODY is a highly professional journal with strict requirements on innovation. The reviewer's opinions are pertinent and objective. The editor handles the external review quickly. His response to the author is a bit lagging but very polite. There’s no limit for the length of the manuscript, or any forced self-citation phenomenon. Our paper is 24 pages long and includes 77 references, none of which are from NODY. The manuscript submitted in October 2018, and after major and minor revisions, it was accepted and online in March 2019. The efficiency is quite high.

In this research field, many leading authors publishing articles in this journal. After I submitted my paper I realized the editor in chief passed away.

May I ask how many reviewers are assigned to your submission? We have two reviewers here, but the second reviewer has not yet provided feedback.

Control direction for the first time to invest in this journal, did not expect the speed is really fast, in comparison, IEEE journals are too slow, share the submission record, hope it can help others.

Have you received the revised manuscript email, layer host? It's been over two weeks for me, does it really have to take a month?

The third submission was a transfer from NN, with a similar speed to the second submission, taking almost 2 months from submission to acceptance. Both AE and reviewers were very efficient. There were a total of two rounds of revisions:

- Submitted/With Editor on February 24, 2025
- Under Review on March 5, 2025
- Revision Requested on March 22, 2025
- Revision on March 31, 2025
- Revision/With Editor on April 1, 2025
- Under Review on April 1, 2025
- Revision Requested on April 5, 2025
- Revision on April 6, 2025
- Accept on April 9, 2025

Malicious reviewers

Let's mainly consider the comments from the reviewers. If both are minor revisions and there are no other comments by the deadline, it is likely to be accepted with minor revisions. If the two comments are leaning towards rejection, we may need to wait for more opinions from other reviewers.

Excuse me, how many reviewers' opinions are needed for a revision request? Out of the 10 reviewers invited, only two agreed to review.

The staff of the partition seems to have always ranked journals with a high proportion of Chinese authors and high investment. "Nonlinear Dynamics" has always been recognized as the top international journal in the field of nonlinear dynamics, the absolute king of the nonlinear field, and the top level of Area 1 in the same field. Look at the units, individuals, and quality of articles published in this journal. If the partition continues to be so chaotic, it is purely deceiving outsiders, and will only accelerate the loss of credibility of the partition, eventually becoming a joke, speechless!

The speed is a bit overwhelming, and there are malicious reviewers.

2025.04.05: Revision comments are in, major overhaul. Four reviewers, two neutral, one moderately positive, one positive.

In about a month, due to controlling the amount of publication, there are too many backlog manuscripts.

Hey experts, how long does it take to receive the publication method selection and proofreading notification after this journal is accepted? Accepted on April 2nd.

It seems difficult to invite reviewers this year. Last year, the review process was very quick. This year, the same journal invited over 10 reviewers, but only three accepted the invitation.

Boss, the process you edited earlier is so fast, lucky you~~~

(0) Thank | moomssh

Dear experts, I see that everyone with the editor is very fast, basically it takes 1-2 days to get there. I have been waiting for 3 days and have not started the technical review yet. Does the editor have any opinions on my article? Oh no.

(0) Thank | moomssh

The first time I invited 5 reviewers, 3 agreed to review, but only received 1 review after 3 months;
The second time I invited 2 reviewers, both agreed to review. After receiving 1 review, the editor gave a "Revision requested" in about a week, which lasted for over half a month (originally thought that the second round of review would have to wait for another 3 months, and this submission was made during the New Year and Spring Festival holidays, so it felt relatively fast).
There were a total of 2 sets of revisions, both minor, and the editor requested them to be completed within two weeks.

I am too. One reviewer has already responded, while the other has been waiting for two months.

The second trial started on February 2nd, 2025. It has been two months and we still haven't received the results of the second trial.

(0) Thank | Lifeili001

With the same feeling, the first invitation was sent to 5 people, 3 agreed to review, and finally only received 1 review opinion; the second invitation was sent to 2 people again, both agreed to review, but only received 1 revision opinion in the end.
