My first manuscript submitted to Physica is undergoing the peer review. It was submitted on December 28th, 2018. The comments of first review returned on March 25th, 2019. I sent it back after I revised the manuscript for two months. The comments of second review returned on August 6th, 2019. I revised the manuscript for a month and submitted it. From then on, the status has been under review. I feel very nervous! I hope for a good result. I will share the submission process in real time, for everyone to refer to.

The review speed of the first review is still very fast, about a one month to get initial feedback.

This magazine is relatively fast in terms of publication speed, with moderate quality and relatively easy to get accepted. Chinese authors have a higher publication rate in it, making it easier to get accepted. Authors without a paper can also submit

After nearly half a year, it was finally accepted. It wasn't easy. The first reviewer's comments were pasted incorrectly and it delayed the process due to the Spring Festival. However, it is currently a low-cost and low-benefit journal in Zone 3, so I hope it will still be a journal in Zone 2 in the future

The review process is extremely slow, it takes a week for editors to handle, and the reviewers have been silent after 4 months of review
