It's just a fourth-tier open-access journal, and I know my paper is no good. It was under review for almost four months, and finally got rejected by the editor, the reason being that it did not fit the journal's scope. I don't quite understand this reason

Although open source has been suppressed, the quality is still acceptable. It is a well-established power journal that is also recognized within the industry. It has been revised several times back and forth, and the reviewers are very meticulous and professional. The review speed is highly praised!

The first trial took 7 and a half months, and the second trial took one month to be employed.

Already invested for nearly three months, still under external review.

Thank you, bro. Does "Under Review" mean it's under external review?

The external audit took a long time, and it was revised three times.

Brother, is the external audit taking a long time?

It took 8 months to hire, and because it was not too urgent, there was no rush for submission.

After submitting, it has been pending editor assignment. How is the general speed? How can I urge it if it has been pending?

May 2022, initial submission
June 2022, first-round comments received, major revisions
August 2022, second-round comments received, accepted
Overall, the process was fast, but the journal's publication fee is expensive, and the impact factor and submission rate have declined significantly.

May I ask if there were any reminders during the five months of the first trial in 22?

The first review is currently under review for three and a half months. It's really slow even though it's open-source, I really don't understand. I hope the result is better, so it can justify waiting for such a long time.

In the 21st year, the initial review and first review both took one month each. 
In the 22nd year, the initial review took five months, and the second review took three months. 
It is possible that this is related to the reviewers.

Submitted at the end of October 2021, accepted in early April 2022. Went through two major revisions during the process, but overall it was satisfactory. After all, it is a well-established journal in the field of power systems and has a certain level of recognition. The only downside is that it is open access, which makes it expensive.

The review process was very slow, taking over 7 months for the first round of review. The second round of review took over 1 month. The first round involved 3 experts, and 2 new experts were added for the second round. Based on the evaluations from the experts, it can be generally seen that 2 experts expressed support in the first round, while 1 expert expressed support in the second round. After revisions and answering questions, it is estimated that a total of 4 experts were convinced. Finally, acceptance was granted.

I submitted it on January 12, 2021, and it has been in "Pending Editor Assignment" status all along, waiting anxiously ?.

May I ask if there is a template available for this journal? I could only find PDFs on the official website.

Sorry, I apologize if I didn't explain clearly and caused a misunderstanding. I don't have money, and I also despise myself. I said that I would do the same thing. Sorry for not despising you anymore, I only despise myself because what I said was just empty words.

Just to clarify, when I mention cooperation, it means genuine collaboration rather than just having someone's name on it. Isn't it better to exploit capitalism together than to give money from Chinese people to the UK? So why look down on others? Just because you have money? By the way, my research area is deep learning and data mining in power systems. If anyone is interested, we can work together on something.

Although I despise you, I also did the same thing, you know? It's a pity.

I suddenly discovered a huge bug in the IET journal. Although the IET subsidiary journals are open source, all articles by authors affiliated with British universities are exempt from APC (Article Processing Charges). If you want to publish in IET journals for free, you can collaborate with me.
