It's been nearly two months since I submitted it, but I haven't heard anything back

I would like to ask, what does "with reviewers" mean? Does it mean that it has already been sent for review or that it is in the process of inviting reviewers?

Hi, may I ask how to check the detailed status of the submission? Right now I can only see the current status

What is the current status now? Can you see the historical status there? I can only see one status, which is always Under Review

The review comments stated that "the paper must be kept within the 3-page limit to be published in PTL, unless it complies with the 4-page format, in which case the limit is increased to 4 pages. For more details, please refer to the Editorial of May 1, 2012."

Hello, I would like to ask, it has been 16 days since I submitted my contribution, why is it still "with editor"? Is this normal?

The process from submission to acceptance took about 3 months, which went smoothly and at a good speed. There were two reviewers. It seems that this journal values innovative ideas, and as long as the idea is novel, even if the writing is not perfect, they will provide an opportunity for revision.

The submission process is still very fast, and the editing process is handled very promptly, usually taking one or two days. The majority of the time is spent in the review stage. Submit quickly if you want to publish quickly!

May I ask how much is the fee for submitting to this magazine? In total, how much money does it cost to directly submit the manuscript? Thank you.

Can I ask if the original poster will still send the revised manuscript back to the same reviewer after the two-month revision period, or will it be returned to the original reviewer? And when resubmitting, is it necessary to upload the response to the previous reviewer's comments?

The magazine's processing is very fast, the editor is very nice, and the email replies are prompt. It's a great magazine. There aren't many free magazines like this anymore, so the Chinese Academy of Sciences should really protect it. Voluntary payment, open-access magazines have higher impact factors and faster speed, but they are too expensive for green peppers.

The magazine's feedback is very prompt. If it is in the "with editors" status, it means they have not yet found enough reviewers to review the manuscript. The specific time depends on when the reviewers agree to review it, so it's a matter of luck. The subsequent status is "under review".

May I ask about the approximate timeline? How many months will it take to receive feedback on the first trial result?

Formerly a second-tier journal, unfortunately, its impact factor did not keep up with the trend. Although it has now become a third-tier journal in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it still requires a high level of innovation. It does not accept recommended reviewers (there is no such section for submission), so the review process is relatively fair. The chosen reviewers are highly specialized and provide direct and insightful feedback. The journal has a fast processing speed, but it may take a long time to find reviewers, so the speed depends on the efficiency of the review process. There are also page requirements for articles.

The initial review took four months, mainly focusing on the efficiency of the reviewers. The selected reviewers were very strict, and their opinions were quite professional. The formulas were also carefully scrutinized, unlike those quick-publishing journals.

May I ask if the original poster has any updates now? I have also been waiting for almost a month, and it has been almost another month now, but there hasn't been any progress.

There were two reviewers, the first reviewer gave some general suggestions, and some suggestions were given from the general direction. Major revision and resubmission were required in the comment; The second reviewer was professional, and the comments raised were very critical and practical, and minor revision was required. The editor gave two months for moderate revision. The manuscript was submitted after revision, the first reviewer had no questions, and the second reviewer thought that one question was not clear enough, and required one more round of moderate revision. It was accepted after a revision. The review was quite strict, even if there was a problem, it would be returned to the reviewers for review. The speed was very fast, and the review comments were returned within 20 days in the first round. However, it took two months for two rounds of review, and it took less than two months in total. 2020.7.2, submitted; 2020.7.21, moderate revisions requested within 2 weeks; 2020.7.29, with editor; 2020.7.30, with reviewer; 2020.8.6, moderate revisions requested within 2 weeks; 2020.8.8, with editor; 2020.8.18 with reviewer; 2020.8.23 accept as is.

I really do not recommend you submit here. An article of mine about optics has been reviewed for 9 months. Before my submission, I saw that it takes a long time to review the manuscript. I personally thought that my research direction was not that unpopular, and it would not take so long to review the manuscript. However, it took 9 months already... I have urged many times during this period, the editor has never responded to my emails. I am so amazed... Overall I feel that the editor is not very responsible, at least not used to checking emails. I’ve sent too many emails intermittently within two months. But he replied to none of them. It is recommended that friends who are anxious to choose other journals to submit. The 9-month review cycle is really unaffordable...
