Does anyone know if it's normal for the assignment of reviewers to still be ongoing after 20 days?

The journal's official website has been updated:
The website registered in WOS is the Optica Publishing Group's website https://opg.optica.org/col/home.cfm
(Optica Publishing Group, formerly known as The Optical Society of America, OSA)

The journal's own websites are:
Chinese: The Chinese Optics Journal website hosted by Chinese Laser Press (CLP): https://www.opticsjournal.net/Journals/col.cshtml
English: Researching, owned by Chinese Laser Press (CLP): https://researching.cn/col

It seems that for submitting to the OSA website, registration for an OSA account is required.
For the latter two websites, clicking on submission will directly redirect to the ScholarOne system by Clarivate.

The initial submission was to PR, after the review, feedback was given but it was rejected by the editor. It was suggested to submit to COL, initially forgot about it and submitted to other journals which did not work out. Only then remembered to submit to this journal, as PR had been submitted before and there was feedback from reviewers. After submitting to COL, the editor provided a few suggestions and after making the changes it was accepted. However, the speed of handling manuscripts in this journal is indeed quite slow. Originally, it was in the 3rd tier, but after the latest ranking table came out at the end of the year, it moved up to the 2nd tier. Instantly, graduation seemed within reach, hahaha.

Submission on April 29, 2024
Review process begins in mid-May 2024
Feedback for major revisions given on July 8, 2024 (19 comments from three reviewers, all of which were constructive)
Revisions completed and submitted on July 15, 2024
Acceptance notification on July 28, 2024
Expected publication in September 2024

Overall, the review process was relatively fast. Some classmates who submitted in the same group were rejected immediately, but it did not affect the timeline. The paper has been upgraded to a Tier 2 journal. Despite the general decline in impact factors in optical journals, it has managed to hold its ground. Hopefully, domestic journals will continue to improve.

Hello, I recently submitted to Chinese Optics Letters. May I ask what status the article shows after submission? It has been one week since I submitted, and it is currently still "submitted"

Quite fast, the manuscript was submitted on April 1st, sent for review on the 2nd, and we received the first round of comments on the 12th, which were acceptable from two reviewers. We were given 10 days for revisions, and the paper was accepted on April 29th

It is normal for things to move slowly. I waited for a month and a half for the initial review

Is it normal for the status to change from "submitted" to "Awaiting Editorial Board First Review"? It has been two weeks since my initial review and there has been no change

It's too slow. I waited for two months to receive the review comments, and was given one week to make revisions. After the revisions, I submitted again and waited for one more month, but it is still in the stage of being scored by the reviewers. I don't know if I have to wait for another two months.

How is the status of the article now, OP? It went from being assigned AE to being submitted, I don't know what happened.

I have been waiting for over a week, and now the status has changed from "submitted" to "Awaiting TE Assigns Reviewers"... People in the same group said that the review process is fast and I would receive feedback in about two weeks. Why did it take over a week for my article to be assigned to reviewers? I'm confused.

After submitting my article to COL, it is now awaiting admin assigns AE. After a few days, it changes to "submitted." It has been a week now. May I ask what comes after "submitted"?

I am also submitting to COL. May I ask what happens after "submitted"? After submitting, it becomes "awaiting admin assigns AE", and then after a few days, it changes to "submitted". It has been one week now.

The current status has changed from "awaiting EO decision" to "submitted." May I ask what the next step is? Please let me know, thank you.

The text translates to: "Currently, it has changed from awaiting EO decision to submitted. What is the next step? Thank you."
