During the submission period, I received help from the experts in the comments section and now I want to share my submission process. Overall, this journal is quite good in the magazine, but there is some delay in the editing process. Sometimes the manuscript has been in the hands of the editor for 2-3 weeks. Therefore, the authors need to be patient.

January 17, 2024: Submitted.
April 19, 2024: Major revision. Three reviewers, two of whom had positive feedback, while one felt that there was too much technical content in my writing, which did not meet the high popular science requirements of the journal. However, the Associate Editor was quite understanding and allowed for major revisions.
May 27, 2024: Resubmitted for revisions.
July 28, 2024: Minor revision. Both reviewers with positive feedback accepted the revisions. The other reviewer felt that I met the popular science requirements of the journal but provided a few minor suggestions.
August 14, 2024: Resubmitted for revisions.
August 30, 2024: Awaiting recommendation.
September 18, 2024: Awaiting decision.
October 10, 2024: Accepted!

I hope all authors will have successful submissions! Graduation, promotion, and attainment of prestigious titles such as Outstanding Young Scholar and Academician will come soon!

It has been a year and a half, and it is still in the first review. In the middle of it, my submission account was hacked, and now I can't log in to the system. I'm so dizzy.

How much is the journal page fee?

May I ask, if the status changes from "under review" to "awaiting recommendation" after one month, does that mean it is likely to be rejected soon? They shouldn't be able to review it that quickly, right?

What is Open Call? Also, I see that the journal name is IEEE NETWORK MAGAZINE? Is this a magazine?

Just to clarify, I applied for an open call, with the hope that this information will be helpful for colleagues who also applied for an open call

During the submission period, I read a lot of comments from everyone and gained a lot. Now I would like to share my submission experience.
I submitted on 10/24/2023, and after about 3-4 days, the status changed to under review.
On 02/26/2024, the status changed to awaiting recommendation (this should be when the AE has enough review comments to make a decision), and then 2 days later it changed to awaiting decision (this should be when the AE made a decision and passed it to the EIC to make a final decision), and then waited for about 2 more days.
On 03/02/2024, I received major revision comments, which were quite positive overall.
On 03/12/2024, I returned the revised manuscript.
On 03/24/2024, the status was awaiting recommendation.
On 03/26/2024, it was awaiting decision.
On 03/28/2024, it was accepted!
I hope this information is helpful to everyone. Good luck to everyone in their endeavors.
Just to add, I submitted to an open call, hoping to assist colleagues who are also submitting to open calls

"It was submitted on December 15, 2023, and it's already been almost three months but it's still under review. What's going on?"

It has been about ten days to less than 20 days since it stopped. I plan to submit to another journal later, it's really hard to get into SI

Submitted in April 23, currently in the third round, in "Awaiting Decision" status for nearly two months with no updates at all, not sure if it's the chief editor who hasn't reviewed or something else. Please let me know if there are any changes, thank you~

The review process is extremely slow, it has been almost a year and yet the first review result still hasn't been released

Congratulations first, after all, it is still SCI Q1. May I ask how long did it take to receive the comments after the first review?

When I submitted and repaired, I was still in Zone 1, but when I was accepted, I was demoted to Zone 2...
