The same situation, hahaha, garbage journal.

I don't want to give a single star, this journal is very strange, especially with the current editor Alfred French. I had a good experience with the editor five years ago. I had three reviewers, two of whom recommended acceptance. I made serious revisions. The editor probably took a Christmas break. The revised manuscript had only one reviewer, who recommended publication after the second review. However, this editor rejected it with a very trashy reason. The editor rejected me goddamn it! I waited from November until February for this. It used to be top before, but not anymore. No wonder it has been downgraded, getting worse and worse. I hope it closes down soon.

Lightning protection, brothers. The initial review took over a month with four reviewers, and after revisions, there was a delay of over two months because one of the reviewers never responded. In the end, all three reviewers accepted the paper, but the editor inexplicably rejected it with a strange reason? What is the purpose of peer review?

The reason cannot be found at the moment.

Is there still the saying that manuscripts must meet the standard? The ones submitted at the end of the year should also be published in 2025, right?

After submitting the manuscript, it was matched with an editor for review 18 days later, and underwent preliminary revisions (adding line numbers on the left side of the article). One day later, it was submitted to the editor. After waiting for 25 days without entering peer review, an email was sent to the editor to inquire about the status of the manuscript. Two days later, it was rejected due to not meeting the scope of the journal (even though similar research papers have been continuously published). It may be that the journal has reached its quota for submissions at the end of the year.

Boss, may I ask if there is any information from the reviewers in the submission system about the News about your peer review process? For example, will it be displayed if a reviewer has finished reviewing?

Okay, thank you for the answer.

Sometimes it may also be slow, and it depends on luck. Last year, a manuscript took about a month to be reviewed for the first time.

I envy your efficiency. It has been over two weeks now, and I haven't received any feedback from the reviewer. I'm not sure if it's just coincidentally during the Christmas and New Year holiday.

Now think about it, the more people receiving the manuscript for review, the better. This way, there will always be someone who responds quickly. Otherwise, some reviewers may be busy and take longer to respond, which will prolong the review process. It's hard to say exactly how long it will take. Sometimes there will be two reviewers for the first review, and an additional reviewer may be added for the second review.

The peer review process took less than 2 weeks and required three reviewers. I was one of the six people who agreed to review, and after the opinions of three reviewers were received, the editor made a decision directly without waiting for the others. The decision to revise and recommend suggestions for Cellulose was made by the associate editor, and there were no issues in the end, so it was up to the editor-in-chief to decide on acceptance. I feel that the editor-in-chief will carefully review the quality of each article. This process took a bit longer, as after my article was resubmitted following the first round of revisions, the three reviewers quickly responded with their opinions. After waiting for over a month, the editor-in-chief said that a few small modifications were still needed. Once the revisions were made and resubmitted, the editor-in-chief accepted the article the very next day.

How long have you been peer reviewing? How many people's opinions are needed for this review? I currently have three reviewers agreeing to review.

Second submission, the process was quite familiar. This time it was very fast, accepted in less than 3 months, thumbs up! Thanks to the editor, thanks to the reviewers, thanks to the editor-in-chief!

It's been a week since the second revision was submitted and the technical review was approved. Has it slowed down again recently? Does anyone have the same situation?
