2024.06.14 under review - I sent a reminder email half a month ago and it is still in this status as of now (10.08). Can anyone provide information on what is going on? It was found that the journal has sent out one round of review invitations (6 in total) but no one has been invited yet.

Mine is also almost done, luckily there is someone to review and approve it

I would like to ask everyone for advice. 
I submitted on March 21st, received "with editor" status on March 22nd, and was "under review" on March 27th. I also invited 7 reviewers, but so far no one has accepted the invitation for review. Is this situation normal? How long does it generally take for reviewers to accept the invitation and how long does external review usually last?

It's been 10 days since I submitted the minor revision, but it's still "with editor." It's annoying

Maybe the feedback is quite good, so there's no rush to make changes. Recently, we received feedback on a paper twice, and both times the responses came back quickly, with major revisions needed each time

Required Reviews Completed status has been over a month with no action from the editor yet. A follow-up email has been sent to remind them to wait patiently

The second review was carried out by only one reviewer, waited for three months during the process without pushing, and then two days ago it changed to "Decision in Process." Is it likely to be rejected?

One article from our group has recently been accepted, one has been given major revisions, and one is still waiting for the final reviewer at RRC

It's still under review as of January 9, 2024. The first reviewer has requested revisions for over a month, and the second reviewer has not yet submitted their feedback. What's going on?

I also have a major repair, and I have not received any feedback since December 7th. It's been a month and there have been no changes

During the Christmas holidays, the editors did not work, and we still have two articles from December last year that have not been revised

Really? It's already 12.21, only one reviewer has completed, the other one hasn't submitted yet, unbelievable

As long as it's about repairs, there shouldn't be any big problems!

Will this paper be rejected after major revisions in the first round of review?

We received acceptance within 2-3 months for all the submissions we made

I don't know what you're talking about. Our group focuses on cutting-edge and practically meaningful work, and we are still irreplaceable in this field's top publications

Indeed, not only slow but also inefficient.

You are really good at whitewashing. The editor is not careful at all. There are many errors in the paper, and some even got the basic common sense wrong.
An impact factor of 4, it's a journal with a medium to low level in the second tier.

Impact factor 4, lower-middle level in the second zone, not a top journal... It will definitely be in the third zone next year.

In the field of hydrometallurgy, the research group has published 8 papers in this journal in the past 5 years. The boss has already requested not to submit any more in recent years.
Objectively speaking, the level of this journal is average, and it is generally considered to be in the lower range of the second tier.
If the research group can publish two more papers in it, it will be easier to get accepted in the future even with lower quality work.
So, if you see someone publishing many papers in Hydrometallurgy, it is better to stay away as they are likely to be opportunistic and not serious researchers.

4.26 UNDER REVIEW is too slow.

The paper went through 5.5 months of revisions. I would like to thank Dr. Gamini Senanayake, the editor-in-chief, and the reviewers for their careful modifications, which greatly improved the quality of the paper. I am grateful for the following submission process:

October 20, 2022: Submitted
October 21, 2022: Assigned handing editor
November 2, 2022: Under review
December 3, 2022: Major revision with two reviewers. One did not express their opinion, while the other had a positive inclination. I was given one month to make the revisions, but due to contracting COVID-19, the deadline was extended by 10 days.
January 5, 2023: Submitted the revised manuscript and sent it back to the original two reviewers on January 8.
January 15, 2023: Minor revision with one reviewer's approval and the other reviewer raising some additional questions. I was given half a month to make the revisions.
January 28, 2023: Submitted the revised manuscript and sent it for external review on January 30. The external review process took approximately over a month, possibly delayed by one of the reviewers who did not provide feedback promptly.
March 12, 2023, to April 5, 2023: Underwent two more rounds of minor revisions without another round of review. The focus was mainly on addressing the questions raised by the editor. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Gamini Senanayake, the editor-in-chief, for his meticulous modifications, as it was almost word-for-word, which deeply moved me.
April 5, 2023: Received the revised manuscript and within two hours received the acceptance email.

Overall, the submission process went relatively smoothly. I hope the journal continues to thrive and improve!
