6. On February 16th, the editor invited a third reviewer, which should be when I submitted the revised manuscript, changing the paper type from short communication to original research, requiring more reviewer opinions.

7. On February 27th, all reviewer comments were received, with two reminders in between, stating the need for the paper due to graduation requirements, and the editor directly accepted the paper on March 17th. The opinions of the new third reviewer were minimal, one suggesting to modify the abstract (seemingly generated from a template), the second requesting a generic statement on the originality of the research, and the third asking for references from five articles reviewed (as all five references had the same first author).

8. The entire process took 4 months excluding the invitation of reviewers for arbitration, which could potentially reduce the time by at least one and a half months.

9. The responsible editor is Chief Editor Christos Markides, who may not be the fastest but is compassionate and has been supportive throughout, I am grateful for the editor's compassion!

10. Lastly, I hope this comment can be helpful to everyone and wish all friends a smooth submission process and speedy acceptance of their papers!

Here is an explanation of the situation of this paper:
1. The first review took about 20 days, with two reviewers. It was later found out that the first reviewer rejected the paper, while the second reviewer requested minor revisions.
2. After about 15 days, the handling editor invited a third reviewer for arbitration, but no one responded. On January 15th, an email was sent to recommend another reviewer, who finally accepted and provided comments on January 21st.
3. The editor handled the paper on January 24th, giving a major revision.
4. The revised manuscript was returned on February 6th, with quick acceptance from STJ, WE, and UR. It was sent to two reviewers (now knowing that the rejected reviewer was not included).
5. On February 10th, all reviewers submitted their feedback, with both reviewers accepting the paper directly.

Objective evaluation:
· ATE, as a thermodynamics journal with significant influence, also has a high impact factor. It doesn't feel like a "low-quality journal" as some online comments suggest. It is still challenging to get published there! I have already had one paper accepted by ICHMT, although it has a slightly higher impact factor, it seems to be less well-known!
· Overall, the process is very fast, and the reviewers' response time is short. Excluding the time spent on inviting a third reviewer for arbitration, it feels like it could be accepted in as little as two months!

Is the review process really slow now? Submitted on 3/11 and it's still in "Submitted to Journal" status as of 3/19. So annoying.

I am the editor-in-chief of this Imperial College as you are. Currently, I have completed one review and submitted one; it has been five days, and it seems like the editor has not been processing my manuscript. The time in the system has not changed either, I guess they must be busy recently. The number of submissions to ATE this year has exceeded 2500.

Thank you, yes, I dipped for half a day and received the acceptance email in the evening, there was no dip during the first review.

Congratulations, everything is going smoothly for you. Is there still a DIP status for the final decision?

Still waiting, one of the three reviewers has completed the review. It's now the 5th day, almost half a year since submission, hoping for a good outcome.

Thank you very much to the Associate Editor PRADEEP BANSAL! Thank you to all the reviewers! The reviewers are very professional and friendly, and the questions they raised were very helpful in improving the quality of the article! The review period for reviewers at ATE is 14 days, and the review speed is very fast! The main delay is in the initial review, and the time taken by RRC at the end of each review is relatively long, but overall the speed is very fast! It took less than 3 months from submission to acceptance! I wish ATE all the best, and hope it will be promoted to the first division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences this year!
