Is the format very strict? Which document on the official website should I refer to for modifications?

Returned one month after the first submission, it was rejected, but the editor gave a chance for resubmission. After making revisions for two months, it was sent back to the same two reviewers. One agreed to accept it, while the other reviewer provided more than ten suggestions. The editor gave four weeks to make the revisions. After conducting some additional experiments, it was returned after 26 days and received an acceptance notification approximately two weeks later.
The editor and reviewers were extremely responsible and very professional. The editorial department of the journal was very friendly and made extremely meticulous revisions to the language and format after acceptance.
I am pleased to inform you that our referees and Associate were happy with the changes that you have made and that no evidence of untoward image manipulation was detected. Your paper is therefore acceptable for publication. The journal accepts less than 15% of the papers that it receives, so congratulations on your achievement.

Hello! What field are you working in? You mentioned that the format requirements are very strict. Specifically, are you referring to images or text? Do all the results require pictures of academicians?

If possible, try to supplement with experiments, and if not possible, carefully consider reasons for appeal, but a humble and cautious tone is essential. After all, major revisions also have a certain rejection rate

The reviewers requested me to conduct additional experiments, but my samples have run out/the experiments have already been completed. Will my paper be rejected if I directly state that my samples have run out?

This is the first time I published a SCI paper in my life. The approximate timeline is as follows: it was received on November 13, it entered “under review” a few days after submission. If there is no change within a week, it will enter the first review stage. It will last for about a month. The editorial office will reply to you within 30 days to inform you of the review progress. The editorial office was really responsible. They sent a letter to urge the review experts that they had better finish the review within one month. Due to my personal reasons, I didn’t pay attention to the mailbox. In about 30 days, the editorial office replied that they needed to upload the original result of a certain figure before they informed the review result. Due to my personal reasons, it was mistaken as spam. The editorial office urged several times. Thanks again for the patience of the editorial office. Minor revise was required on December 22. In the minor revisions I basically did not make up the experiment. They were all format requirements. Once again, note that the format requirements of this journal were extremely strict and perverted. The format comments alone are dozens of pages. I resubmitted it on January 3th, 4th and 5th are weekends, it turned out that it was accepted on January 6. This wave of operations stunned me. I also told the editor that I needed this article urgently, but it turned out to be too fast. Thank the editor again greatly. How do I say the acceptance? I submitted it once, and it was 100%. Hey, but the official rate is 15%, but the editor was really good, the foreigner's tone in the communication process was very gentle, humble, like a peer. In addition, I admire the serious attitude of the foreigners. Their modification of my article word by word moved me.

Experience sharing: My first time publishing in SCI, submitted to Diabetologia. The timeline is roughly as follows: received on 11-13, entered under review a few days after submission. If there is no change within a week, it enters the first review stage, lasting about a month. The editorial department will inform you of the review progress within 30 days. Thanks to the editorial department's responsibility, they will remind the review experts and try to complete the review within a month. Due to personal reasons, I did not check my email carefully. Around 30 days later, the editorial department replied that they needed to upload a certain figure of original results before informing the review result. Due to personal reasons, I mistakenly thought it was spam. The editorial department reminded me several times, and I am grateful for their patience. Minor revision: 12-22. Due to my graduation requirement for the article, I urgently needed it. Fortunately, I received the minor revision comments before Christmas. Note that foreigners usually have a 10-14 day Christmas break. Foreigners had previously advised to send the original figures before Christmas, but unfortunately, I missed the message. The minor revision mainly focused on formatting. Note again, the formatting requirements of this journal are extremely strict. Resubmit: 1-3. The 4th and 5th are weekends. Results accepted on 1-6. This whole process surprised me. I had previously informed the editor of my urgent need for this article, but the speed was still too fast. Thanks again to the editor. As for the submission hit rate, I only submitted once, so it's 100%. However, the official rate is 15%. The story is not over yet. After acceptance, there are still several steps before the official online publication. Due to my urgent need for this article, I remember one night during the Spring Festival when I was busy formatting the article until 4 a.m. Yes, you read that right. After acceptance, the editor will still ask you to format the article. Online: 2-20. Official publication in May. The process was indeed tiresome, but the editor was really good. The communication with foreigners was very gentle and humble, like a peer. Their seriousness in editing every word in my article touched me. Thanks again to the editor and to my teachers and classmates for their help. Keep up the good work!

It has been 40 days since the first review, and it has been under review. Should I write a letter to the editor to urge him?

Experience sharing: The article was just accepted, and the stone in my heart finally landed. Share some experiences in submission, hoping to see more research from China published. This article was first submitted to Diabetes Care, sent to three reviewers, and then rejected. Subsequently, based on the reviewers' opinions, a major revision was made, and then submitted to Journal of Autoimmunity and BMC Medicine, which were both rejected. Realizing that the article might have some issues, I immediately sought help from my overseas supervisor. After waiting for a month, the supervisor still gave relatively positive feedback, pointing out the shortcomings and highlighting that the positive points were hidden, and the negative results were placed in too important a position. The article structure and title needed major changes. After more than a month of revisions, it was submitted to Diabetologia. The submission was under review immediately, note that this does not mean it was sent for external review. If external review is not done, the result will be given in about three days. The first review took 23 days, the efficiency was still high, and the two reviewers raised more than 30 questions. There was no major flaw, which gave me a bit of confidence in the final acceptance. Because it was a clinical article, no experiments needed to be redone, I reanalyzed the data and added a figure. The editor suggested finding a native speaker for language editing, emphasizing British English, so I quickly spent money on AJE's language polishing. The revised manuscript was uploaded after 20 days. Approximately 10 days later, the second review comments came back, requiring minor revisions. One reviewer had no comments, while the other raised five more questions based on the first reviewer's feedback. At this point, the editor started to review seriously, raising three more questions. Feeling confident about the revisions, I submitted them in three days. Four days later, the editor requested minor revisions again, indicating that it was not sent for external review. The three questions were all further inquiries from the second review, which made me nervous. I didn't want to upset the editor, so even though there were only three questions, I carefully revised for three days and provided detailed responses. Finally, after waiting for 8 days, the article was accepted. This journal has strict formatting requirements and raises formatting issues in every revision. The acceptance rate given in the acceptance letter is less than 15%

Review speed: 1.0 | Submission Hit Rate: 25.0 Experience Sharing: It is the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. The journal's acceptance rate is less than 20%. The number of submissions in a year is approximately around 1700, with around 300 articles published, which indeed calculates to a 20% acceptance rate. ScholarOne's submission system really gives people a headache, as not many journals represented by "under review" indicate that the manuscript has been sent for external review. Diabetologia will change to "under review" status after submission, indicating that the manuscript is either with the editor or with external review experts, and the status will only change once a decision has been made. Generally, if it is still "under review" after 7 days, it is basically sent for external review (there was a case in the past where a paper in our group was rejected after 3 days without external review). If you are unsure, you can directly write to the editorial office, and they will quickly reply whether the manuscript has been sent for external review

After waiting one month, we received our reviews. The reviewers raised very good questions; among them, several small experiments and a large number of animal experiments were suggested. We addressed all the reviewers’ comments but struggled with completing some of the experiments. One of the reviewers didn’t mind that we didn’t complete all the suggested experiments, but the other reviewer was not satisfied. The journal refused to accept our manuscript unless we completed all the animal experiments. Unfortunately, I couldn’t complete them because I had to graduate. If you’re not trying to graduate, I’d try for this journal – the reviewers’ comments were extremely pertinent.

Experience Sharing: Submitted an article, received external review after a month, the editor and two reviewers praised the innovation, but both reviewers raised nearly ten questions. Some requested additional small experiments and a large amount of animal experiments. After carefully addressing and struggling with the animal experiment issues, one reviewer was satisfied, while the other reviewer refused to pass due to the animal experiments. The journal rejected the submission and encouraged resubmission after completing the animal experiments. However, due to the urgency of graduation, there was no time to complete them, so I had to reluctantly give up. The reviewers' feedback was very constructive, and if time permits, it is worth considering communicating with these professionals

Experience sharing: Submitted a paper on basic research on diabetic nephropathy. The external review took one month, with the editor and two reviewers praising the innovation of the paper, but both reviewers raised nearly ten questions. Some requested additional small experiments and a large number of animal experiments. After carefully answering and struggling with the animal experiments, one reviewer was satisfied, while the other reviewer was stuck on the animal experiments and did not approve. The journal rejected the paper and encouraged resubmission after completing the animal experiments. However, it was too late due to the urgency of graduation, so I had to reluctantly give up. The feedback from the reviewers was really insightful, and if there is enough time, it may be worth considering exchanging ideas with these professionals
