Can authors other than the corresponding author submit revised manuscripts?

The review process is fast, typically taking around 40 days

Why was I rejected? Where did you end up going in the end?

It has been 4 months and still no news. If the reviewer doesn't have time, why accept the submission? I really don't recommend submitting to this journal. It's from a Tier 4 journal, but one could mistake it for a top-tier one

Rejected, feeling upset

What's going on, everyone seems to have received their Decision on the same day, but it's been almost a week for me, I'm getting anxious.

Contacting the reviewers took more than a month, and the initial review has been almost 2 months, totaling 4 months.
The first review result was major revision, overall quite friendly, and gave one month to make changes. The revised manuscript was accepted a week after submission

My case will not be reviewed until four months later, so you don't have to worry. Just wait patiently

I am also still in contact with reviewers after more than two months, it's really too slow

Does this journal require payment if it is not open access?

May I ask, in general, when the reply editor provided a website, I sent three revised manuscripts, but it has been two days and the content of the second review has not been updated. OP, on which day did you update?

May I ask when the general editor usually responds? He provided a website, and I have sent the revised drafts of three files, but it has been two days and the content for the second review has not been updated yet. OP, on which day did you update it?

The second review was actually a very minor issue. Personally, I felt it was completely unnecessary, but I still provided review comments. Luckily, it didn't have to go through another review and was accepted directly.

After 4 months of experience, finally received the minor revisions for the first trial. The evaluations were quite positive and it was fixed within 3 days. The image size should be between 2-3 megabytes, neither too big nor too small, and there are also requirements for the image type. The paper, code, and data must include instructions on how others can access them. The formatting was revised three times, hoping it will be helpful for other contributors. Looking forward to a favorable outcome.

Where can I see if there is a proofreader available? I can only see "under review" on my end.

It's also strange on my side. I submitted an article in December last year. At that time, the quality of that article was not very good, but the review process was very fast. I submitted it on December 7th, and it went under review on the 8th. The results came out on January 4th (although it was rejected). In April this year, on the 20th, I submitted another paper with the same topic but different content. On April 25th, it was assigned an editor and then returned, saying that there was no need to upload pictures, only the complete paper including the pictures needed to be uploaded. After resubmitting on April 26th, it was assigned an editor on May 12th. It briefly went under review for a few days, and now it has changed to "under consideration-editor" status, with "Not Assigned" displayed under the editor section. I want to ask if any seniors who have submitted articles before or other people who are currently submitting have encountered similar situations? It's like wasting a whole month, and I dare not rush, so now I'm completely stuck.

Dear seniors, I would like to inquire about the current status of this journal. I submitted an article in December last year, and although the quality was not great at that time, the review process was very fast. I submitted on December 7th, and it was under review by December 8th. The result was out on January 4th (although it was rejected). On April 20th, I submitted another paper with a similar theme but different content. It was assigned an editor on April 25th but was then returned, stating that there was no need to upload images, only the complete paper including the images. After resubmitting on April 26th, it was assigned an editor on May 12th, briefly under review for a few days, but now it has changed to "under consideration-editor" status, and the editor's section shows "Not Assigned". I would like to ask if any seniors who have submitted or others who are currently submitting have encountered a similar situation? It feels like wasting a whole month, and I'm hesitant to send a reminder. I'm completely stuck now.

This speed is really slow. It has been over three months, and I am still looking for a reviewer. At this rate, it will take at least half a year to get any results.

No news, it has been 61 days already. I have sent a reminder letter in between, and the reply was that they are still trying to find reviewers. The paper is related to optical instruments. At this pace, it is estimated to take around four to five months.
