It took 48 days from submission to acceptance, which is still quite fast, and we addressed the comments from four reviewers.

Around eight or nine days.

Could you please tell me how long it takes for the editor to respond after the second review submission?

The process is very standardized, the review process is also fast, and the review is quite professional. It is a top journal in fluid mechanics.

It usually takes about 2 months from submission to acceptance of the article. However, I have a question. This journal publishes a lot of articles in each issue, but only around 20 are indexed in SCI. I wonder why. For example, Volume 36, Issue 9 had 18 indexed articles; Volume 36, Issue 8 had 21 indexed articles; Volume 36, Issue 7 had 11 indexed articles...

I would like to request a leave of absence. How many days does the process of submission check by the journal office for the second review usually take? It has been a week already and it seems like it is still in the starting phase.

The comments have been sent to the system for registration by the corresponding author, and they cannot be seen elsewhere.

Hello, I would like to ask where can I view the review comments? I couldn't find them in my email either.

The previous journal didn't respond for 6 months, and I happened to receive an invitation to review for POF, so I withdrew the manuscript and submitted it to POF, which was very fast. The first review took 26 days, with 2 reviewers, and they didn't have many comments, both saying it was okay. This was the simplest feedback I have ever received, so I can only say I was lucky. I revised the manuscript in 2 days, and it was accepted for publication after the second review. The whole process took 34 days, with the editorial department taking 3-6 days to process overall, which was slower than before. The efficiency of the associate editor on the same day was very high, and the reviewers had a deadline of 14 days for review.

I noticed that some articles on the journal website have been selected as Featured articles and Editor's picks. I would like to ask the experts, what is the difference between these two designations, and are they highly regarded?

Anyone who has registered will be invited to review the manuscript. Many students who have just started their postgraduate studies are reviewing the manuscript.

The journal process was very fast, with four reviewers assigned. Two of them were not very engaged, while the other two had average expertise in the field and their suggestions seemed amateurish. Ultimately, the manuscript was rejected and the appeal was unsuccessful.

It is worth mentioning that the author has not yet obtained a doctoral degree, and this was their first submission to this journal. They had not previously published any articles related to fluid mechanics or attended conferences in the field. However, a few days before the rejection, the author received an invitation to review for the journal, even though the content of the manuscript was completely unrelated to their area of study and they did not know the authors. Feeling unable to properly evaluate the manuscript, the author declined the invitation.

The current reviewers and review quality at the journal are questionable – who are these reviewers?

There is no template for the word, so please organize it neatly by yourself. You can refer to previous literature for formatting.

Is this journal good? I feel like it's getting more and more rubbish.

This journal is doomed. The associate editor is just a lecturer from Shanghai Polytechnic University, and the review process is like a matter of life and death. It's a tough pill to swallow.

Hello, how can I download templates for Word? I have only found templates for Latex.

May I ask for the opinions of several reviewers?

May I ask how many reviewers' comments were received?

The main focus of the study is the overall resistance analysis of the porous media inside the cooler, and the research subject is relatively niche. It is probably the engineering articles on POF that are being criticized (bitter smile). However, the study also meticulously analyzes the meaning of the formulas for porous media, as well as the precautions and handling methods for the coefficients; it took some effort to figure it out when doing it myself.

Overall, the submission system of AIP is very user-friendly for authors, much better than that of Alexandria Engineering Journal!

Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory, rejected after 11 days of initial review
Alexandria Engineering Journal, rejected after 41 days of initial review (median acceptance time 80 days)

Physics of Fluids, 5 days for initial review, 51 days for external review, 20 days for revisions, 3 days for acceptance after resubmission, 10 days for formatting and final proofreading, and another 8 days for online publication. Upon checking Web of Science, it is estimated to be indexed early next month. The entire acceptance process took 78 days, with online publication taking 97 days; another month is expected for indexing.

It took 46 days from submission to acceptance. The opinions of the three reviewers were all quite friendly. The timeline is as follows.

I returned to the top again, which was unexpected. The research group I am in no longer allows submissions to this journal.
