How long does it take for submissions to be reviewed? It has been a month since I submitted my manuscript, and it has been in the "Under Consideration" status on Research Square. I am not sure if it is still with the editor or if it has been sent for review.

How do I know if my article has been sent for external review?

How can I get the invoice for the article processing fee? It has been several months.

I would like to ask, what does it mean when there is an empty status after "Manuscript Under Consideration"?

It is a domestic journal, selected as one of the journals with the most academic influence in China in 2023. External reviews typically look at the direction, and it is normal for the review process to take two to three months

The first external audit takes about 130 days, and the second one takes around one month.

Is it a domestically produced journal?

May I ask how long the external review took? It has been updated once under consideration in the meantime, but there has been no response. It has been 45 days already.

After sending for external review, it will continuously be "Manuscript Under Consideration". Once the external review is returned, a new "Manuscript Under Consideration" will appear again, and in the following days, there will be "Decision Made" and then "Decision Sent to Author".

I want to ask if this journal has a Latex template?

Very effective editing team. The feedback on our paper is very professional. It should be a very experienced professor in a small field. Very helpful for both the paper and future research. Thanks again!

Indeed, it is the worst journal I've ever encountered. After making the revisions, they have not provided any updates.

The engineering section in domestic journals is relatively hardcore. I hope it doesn't mislead others when submitting contributions.

2021.8. End of submission
2022.1. Mid-term reminder
2022.2. Mid-term first revision
2022.2. End of revision
2022.3. Mid-term acceptance, format modification
The summary is as follows:
1. Most submissions within the group were accepted, with two reviewers. It is easier to encounter familiar people from within the country, making it relatively less difficult.
2. The APC (article processing charge) is too high, costing more than 20,000 RMB.
3. The impact factor (IF) is not particularly promising, but it is definite in the first quartile.
4. The selection of similar journals in China is gradually increasing, such as the Fundamental Research by the National Natural Science Foundation and Engineering by the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The APC is cheaper, and the difficulty is more worth the challenge.

The status of the manuscript after submission to receiving the review comments is always "manuscript under consideration". If you don't understand, please don't mislead others.

November 2020: Submitted for publication.
December 2021: Received feedback and made major revisions.
January 2021: Resubmitted and accepted at the end of the month.
February 2021: Continued making formatting modifications.
March 2021: Officially published.
The journal has good quality standards and high formatting requirements. The editorial efficiency is high with quick responses. The reviewers are professional and provide constructive feedback. However, the publication fee is a bit expensive.

The worst magazine I have ever encountered, it has been in the hands of the editor for two months without being reviewed. How long can this trashy magazine survive?

2020.01.05 Submission; one month later, major revision was required; 2020.03.12 revision submitted; 2020.04.08 accepted. It is the current top journal in the field of instrumentation, especially in the field of MEMS. The next class of journals only has an impact factor of two or three. The speed of the review depends on the direction. Our direction is relatively popular, and the review is relatively fast.

First review required a major revision. One rejection, one minor revision. It took half a month to revise and get accepted, but the review is a bit slow.
