Three reviewers, two of whom have submitted their comments, while one reviewer has not submitted any comments yet. It has been over three months since the first review and there has been no feedback. Is this normal?

Is arbitration generally more likely to end badly than well?

Where can I upload my cover letter when submitting my manuscript? I couldn't find the corresponding section.

The initial review was a bit slow, but after the first revision, it was accepted within three days.

Have you arbitrated?

According to the EES manuscript tracking system, after two reviewers submitted their comments, how come two more reviewers were added? There are now a total of four reviewers, which seems unreasonable.

Okay, I also received a rejection and resubmission from an editor, with three reviewers. I will try to resubmit this month and hope for good luck for all of us.

I'm not sure either, but I think it should be. It's a resubmission after rejection.

Are the previous three reviewers still being sent?

Submitted in June this year, with three reviewers, two major revisions and one rejection. The editor asked for the rejected paper to be resubmitted. After making revisions based on feedback, it was resubmitted on September 1st. On the 6th, it entered peer review, and it's been two weeks now without any further updates. I hope it's not because the revisions were not done well and the reviewers have found many issues. If that's the case, it will be really frustrating.

Is that so, any progress?

Reviewer 1 gave us a rejection and suggested resubmission. However, they did not grasp our innovative point and cited several articles that were not accurate. We can refute and explain them all. We have already responded to the comments of two reviewers, and have also written an appeal letter. We will try to submit the appeal to the editor within a week.

Submission made on July 29th.
Revised comments returned on September 4th are all correct.
Resubmitted revised manuscript on September 12th.
Until now,
The efficiency of manuscript processing is a bit slow.

I am not sure why Reviewer 1 gave a reject and resubmit decision, so the editor should have done the same. You can first supplement the opinions of these two reviewers, and then ask the teacher to email the editor politely to inquire about the situation.

Boss, our another paper was rejected by EES yesterday. There were two reviewers, one recommended rejection with resubmission (high novelty rating), and the other suggested major revisions (top 5% novelty rating). The editor decided to reject the paper and suggested submitting to Materials Horizon. We feel the editor was a bit harsh, as we reviewed the comments and found that Reviewer 1 did not fully understand the paper, but all their questions can be addressed. Both reviewers' comments can be easily addressed, and it seems that not many additional experiments are needed. Do you think we should argue our case? Thank you.

The editorial process was fast, with the manuscript spending no more than a day in the hands of the editor.

You can check the recent amount of posts on EES. Sometimes, when there are too many submissions, the editors are too busy to keep up. When I have fewer submissions, they can accept them in minutes (an example around me). But when there are many submissions, it can take 2-3 weeks, and I am just one example (facepalm, laughing).

Thank you for your reply. I don't quite understand the first part. Why can we slow down processing with two positives? I hope it's 1 and 2, can't afford to hurt 3, last time it was rejected after arbitration.

(0) 讚！ | 飘来飘去的蒲公英

There are three possibilities: 1. Both reviewers are positive, but there are a lot of edited manuscripts. 2. Both reviewers are positive, but the editor is on vacation (like what happened to me before, I waited for two weeks in vain). 3. One positive and one negative, the editor is looking for an arbitrator for review.

May I ask if it is normal for the manuscript to still be in peer review for 10 days after two reviewers have submitted their reviews through the tracking link? It seems like the editor has not yet processed the manuscript.
