Did you receive a second review after the major revision, or did you accept it directly?

Hello, I would like to ask how to check if an editor has logged in to view it?

(0) 讚！ | aaa

I would like to ask everyone, I found a total of two reviewers, both of whom have provided their reviews. However, the status in the system still remains "Under Review" and the date has not changed. If it does not change to "RRC", will the editor still review and make a decision in this situation? Thank you!

Submission on 2024.05.02
Major Revision on 2024.06.17
Revised on 2024.07.07
Accepted on 2024.07.16
The review process was very fast, the reviewers' comments were very insightful, and after adding some key data, the paper was accepted. The time given for major revision was also sufficient, and the paper was accepted one week after the revision, which was very efficient.

Does this journal require an OA publication fee?

The reviewing process was very fast recently, with the initial draft being quite detailed. The reviewers raised few questions, and the paper was accepted in less than a month.
Submitted on 6.3, it reached the editor on the same night.
Under review on 6.4, 11 invitations were sent out.
Five reviewers agreed to review.
Returned on 6.23, with 2 major revisions and 1 minor revision. The overall feedback was very positive, mostly concerning format and description issues. The revisions were completed in two days, but it took three days to submit.
Returned on 6.28, with delayed feedback due to holidays abroad.
Accepted on 7.2.
Proofreading on 7.3.
We hope everyone's submission goes smoothly!

Could I ask what options users have for licensing? I don't understand what CC BY 4.0 means.

Sure, I would like to ask what kind of user license options are available for you? Is it CC BY 4.0?

Hello, may I ask what the user is allowed to choose? The CC BY 4.0 place.

I have sent out one round of invitations for peer review but have not been able to find any reviewers. Should I contact customer service proactively, or wait a few days for a second round of invitations?

I have been unable to find out how to handle reviewers, buddy how long have you been waiting, and how many rounds have reviewers been invited

It has been seven days with the editor, but there has been no news at all

The review process is slow, possibly because my field is quite interdisciplinary and I haven't been assigned a reviewer yet. The whole process is taking a long time, and even after revisions, it still took a long time to be accepted

Share a terrible experience.
Submitted in December 23, successfully entered external review.
In early March 24, returned for revisions, with two experts and one editor, with almost 20 suggestions from each expert, as well as nearly 20 comments from the editor, all about guidelines in the author instructions, such as formatting issues (e.g. they only want a maximum of 6 figures and 4 tables).
Returned for revisions in mid-March 24 with nearly 20,000 words of response from both experts and the editor.
By mid-April 24, expert reviews all came back, stayed in "with editor" status for a few days, very confused, as in the past, after a DIP decision in a journal under Aisweil, the next steps were usually reject/revise/accept. It was the first time it turned into WE after DIP.
The decision came out in May 2024, rejected, one expert agreed to publish, another expert said there was still lacking some literature, listed a few articles for me to reference (you know, it's usually his own articles, just add them to flatter him). Out of the blue, the editor rejected it, saying the discussion was poorly written and a certain image was unclear.
Speechless, why bother sending it for external review when the editor has so much power, with all positive feedback from the experts yet he can veto it with one vote, it's truly unbelievable.
Finally, the editor is Eldon Rene, PhD

Teacher, it has been almost a month since I resubmitted my manuscript for revision after the first review. All the expert opinions have been received now, and the status in the system changed from DIP yesterday to With editor today. Is this situation normal? (For other journals of Elsevier that I have submitted to, I usually receive the decision directly after the DIP stage and have not experienced this situation of a second round with the editor

I submitted to this journal for the first time, but it's been two days and I still haven't heard back from the editor. How long does it usually take for the editors to process submissions?

2024.3.18 Return, sent for review on 3.19
2024.3.23 Review ended
2024.3.24 Decision in process

This journal, like JEM, ultimately requires final approval from the editor-in-chief

This is my second submission to this journal. The last time I submitted, the journal was only in the third quartile, but I saw its potential! The Impact Factor was only around 3.0 in 2020, but it increased to over 5.0 in 2021, just as predicted. By 2022, it soared to over 7.0 and quickly entered the second quartile, with a direct TOP ranking last year! 
Submitted on 13th February 2024,
Under review on 19th February 2024,
Four reviewers agreed in total,
On 2nd March 2024, two opinions were received. The editor logged in repeatedly to review but did not make a decision, speculating that the feedback was satisfactory and waiting for the other two opinions.
From 8th to 10th March 2024, the editor logged in three times for review and approved it on 10th March.
There might be a chance to enter the first quartile in the future, and I have high hopes for this journal. The only downside is that the layout is a bit unattractive
