It took almost a month from submission to major revision, with the Chinese New Year in between, not sure if it had any impact. Overall, it went smoothly and it took about a month to get accepted.

Received manuscript (pr stage) on December 4, 2024
Author confirmation + author biography + resubmission on December 10, 2024 (It seems that the resubmission refreshed their acceptance speed, otherwise seven days is too slow) (ur stage)
…
Confirmation of article processing fee on January 3, 2025 (this confirmation is inexplicable, waited almost a month for this news? Very anxious ◎_◎;)
Major revision on January 29, 2025 (received a major revision at five o'clock on the first day of the Chinese New Year -_- still need to go through mdpi, three reviewers, requested to complete within ten days, all are superficial revision comments)
Returned manuscript on February 6, 2025
…
…
February 26, 2025 (out of the three reviewers in the system, only one had a second round of comments, and this comment was also an acceptance for publication. The editor gave a small comment and returned it on the same day. P.S. Remember this editor)
March 6, 2025 (I couldn't stand it anymore, saw others receiving acceptance for their articles within two days at the final revision stage, mine has been silent for a week, so I sent an email to follow up)
March 7, 2025 (Another editor replied saying the editor who was handling my article had left ? and I need to wait patiently for a new editor to handle it)
March 10, 2025 (Accepted for publication)

Please do not use QQ email. This is my first time submitting to MDPI, and I don't understand it. I had to make changes back and forth twice.

Academician, what stage are you at now? I have been PED for more than 10 days.

What does the email look like? At which stage did you receive it?

(0) 讚！ | 嘀嘀嘟嘟

I PR for 10 days at that time, sending emails to urge them to review the code, also checking if each author has confirmed the confirmation email. However, the submission is almost due, so let's wait a bit longer. Good luck.

Maybe the student has taken a break from learning how to code.

Hello, may I ask how the process is going now?

Hello, I am also in the field of instruments and meters. I would like to ask if you think it is easy to have submissions accepted and published in this field. Are the requirements for the content of the papers high?

(0) 讚！ | 贰叁

The first reviewer's opinion was average, while the second reviewer's opinion was quite good. The first round of revisions was given 10 days, and on the second day of submission, the first reviewer provided additional comments, requesting the addition of references, and gave 5 more days. After resubmission, it became "pending editor decision" within two days. It has now been pending for 17 days, and there has been no response from the editorial assistant to emails. Why is this happening?

Do you know how long it takes for PR to become UR? Why is my submission still in PR since I submitted it on February 18th until now, the 24th? Does that mean it's been rejected? ?

After submitting the manuscript, the Assistant Editor sent an email stating that they need the institutional email addresses and educational research backgrounds of all authors. Is it mandatory to provide all of this information?
