Brother, after my first round of revisions, they said my paper had risks. The second round of revisions was minor, but the third round has been pending approval for a month now

After the first minor revision, I was told that my paper may be suspected of peer manipulation and needed to be re-evaluated. After the re-evaluation, I was given another minor revision. However, after the second minor revision, the paper entered a pending approval status directly. This status has been ongoing for a month. During this time, I asked the editor, who said it was undergoing quality checks. Has anyone encountered a similar situation, and how much longer will it take to be accepted?

Reviewer's comment: There are some innovative aspects, but it's better to reject it

Choose according to your workload, mine is too heavy, and reviewers suggest submitting to a different journal

I would like to ask OP, are you still waiting for further instructions? I have been in the AE assigned status for over half a month. Will it take much longer?

Has the problem been resolved? I also encountered this situation recently and I don't know what to do

Looking at the recent events, Hindawi Publishing Corporation is basically in big trouble. They seem unable to handle their normal business at the moment. I submitted an article for minor revisions in December last year, and it has been pending approval for 4 months. During this period, they suddenly claimed there were risks in the peer review process and needed further review. After waiting for 2 more months, it was still pending approval. When I emailed them, they either didn't reply or sent template responses that didn't solve any problems. I promptly withdrew my submission and sent it elsewhere. Open-access journals are so slow and have a bad attitude. I advise against submitting to Hindawi to avoid being in the same situation as authors from the previous batch, who got their articles published but then the journal was removed from SCI without being indexed, which was quite foolish.

Hello, may I ask if this journal has any requirements for article length?

Last November, I also sent this confirmation. You can just reply directly. It's really slow, until now there is still no initial review result, and the editor does not reply to emails. They even changed an academic editor in the meantime, but still no response to emails.

I subscribed to this magazine at the beginning of the month, but received a modification request that says "We would like to receive your confirmation of the final authorship for this manuscript." After replying to the email, it seems like the editor did not receive my message. I have reminded them several times to reply to my email. Has anyone else encountered this situation, friends...

After a major revision on November 16th, the paper shows "UNDER REVIEW". How long does this status usually last?

Finally, it's my turn to comment. My first SCI paper in the field of robotics. The specific timeline is as follows:

- 6.12: Submitted.
- 7.12: First review comments received. Two experts provided 14 suggestions, and the editor requested minor revisions.
- 7.20: Finished revisions and submitted.
- 9.23: Second review comments received. Two experts provided 3 suggestions, and the editor requested major revisions (the 3 suggestions left me speechless). In fact, both experts had provided their comments on August 12th, but the editor delayed for over a month, claiming they were awaiting expert opinions. It's truly unbelievable.
- 9.28: Completed revisions and returned.
- 9.30: Accepted. In fact, on September 28th, the expert opinions already indicated acceptance, but it was delayed for two more days.

For those planning to submit their papers, you can refer to this timeline. The process is not as fast as imagined, and the experts' revision suggestions are not overly strict.

From submission to the first review took a month and a half. There were just two minor revisions, which were completed and uploaded within two days. One day later, it was accepted. The layout fee was a bit expensive.

The journal homepage displays an acceptance rate of 39.5% (191 out of 183) and a publication fee of 2300 dollars. The acceptance rate and publication fee are somewhat exaggerated even for open-access journals. More than half of the editorial board members are from Italy and China, and the latest issue published several pages full of articles written by Chinese authors. If master's students are in a hurry to graduate, they can consider submitting here, but it's a bit far-fetched to claim that it is strict and influential.
