On March 24, 2025, the editor provided major revisions, with a total of 19 comments from two reviewers, and gave a 21-day revision period. The first review took nearly four months, hoping to complete the revisions as soon as possible.

After various reminders for submission, I decided to pass on DIP. Should I reject it or just reject it quickly? Ah, it's just a regular journal in Zone 2 of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the cost-effectiveness is unmatched...

How is it going now?

On February 12, 2025, RRC is still the same. The last reviewer did not reply, and the editor did not respond at all. Is it really just pure negligence? I will not submit to them again in the future, the cost-effectiveness is too poor.

Today I decided not to wait any longer. The third reviewer is probably running away or deliberately delaying. After reading the comments of various authors, I estimate that the editor will continue to wait and delay. It's probably going to take half a year or a year to get started. I might as well directly urge the customer service to review the manuscript. The editor can make a decision as soon as possible. It's better to accept a rejection. Perhaps I can catch up with graduation and job hunting by submitting to a faster journal earlier. This is the most anticipated rejection during the Ph.D. period. With the current competition pressure on young people, no one can bear a year or more of the review process...

Submitted on December 4, 2024, assigned to editor Niedzwecki
Hope this submission can be processed quickly. It is the 6th article during my doctoral period, nearing graduation. I originally wanted to publish in an open-access journal to find a job, but my advisor insisted on submitting to a prestigious journal. Although the journal has high industry recognition, the processing speed is extremely slow. I heard it could take up to one to two years. It is frustrating to be forced to submit to such a journal when I am about to graduate. Regardless of the reasons, this behavior is definitely not in the best interest of the students.
In conclusion, I hope this submission will be successful and accepted before graduation. If not, I will have very little hope of finding a good job. I also hope that other doctoral students can avoid encountering such advisors. It is really disheartening to be in this situation nearing graduation.

August 2, 2024
Reviewer one raises a question, reviewer two's comments are detailed, minor revisions are made and resubmitted.

August 21, 2024
Reviewer two has no comments, reviewer one starts to be difficult, stating that the article, experiments, and simulations are good, but lack innovation (not mentioned in the first round???).

August 23, 2024

September 3, 2024
Editor invites reviewer one.

September 16, 2024
Reviewer one accepts the invitation.

As of September 30, 2024, still under review.
The editor is responsible, but the journal has low constraints on reviewers, leading to slow review speed (reviewer two) and varying reviewer levels (reviewer one). It is a well-established journal in the field of ocean engineering, those not in a hurry can try, but those eager to graduate should consider submitting to the neighboring journal Ocean Engineering.

It's a great journal and worth submitting to! The processing time may be a bit slow when the editor is busy. I sincerely hope that the impact factor can increase this year, as the current 3.9 is a bit low

After a year of experience, finally hired. The review requirements are strict, except for the long time, the quality of the article can be guaranteed.

I have been submitting for over a year. I made a revision after 8 months, and it took almost another half year for it to be reviewed. I have been under viewer the whole time. I have read some comments from the host, and I urged them to make a decision, but I am too afraid to keep pushing. However, there is still no result and I am really frustrated. I am stuck in a dilemma. If I don't push, I'm afraid of wasting time. If I push and they reject it, it will be a waste of over a year. Sigh, everyone should be cautious when submitting.

The first review comments were received 7 months after submission. After the revised submission, there has been no news for 4 months. It is indeed a good journal, but it has a long review cycle. I also heard that many people reviewed manuscripts very quickly, and I hope they can share their experience.

One of the best journals in the field of ocean engineering. The quality requirement is very strict, and the review speed is not fast. Those who have confidence in your article and are not in a hurry to graduate can try it. I published 2 articles, and they went through a lot of twists and turns. The first article took 18 months back and forth, and I revised 6 times in the middle.

Under review for 11 months, I was not in a hurry at the time so we didn’t urge it; later it kept under evaluation for 2 months, we urged the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief replied that the scope does not meet, WTF! ! ! ! ! ! ! Under review for so long a time and the scope is wrong???!!! A whole 13 months was wasted . . . I can’t deny that the journal is indeed a good journal, but it’s a bit disgusting for doing so. When you submit it, you must set a psychological expectation.
