I have been reviewing this for 24 days, with only one reviewer requesting major revisions.

How can we know whether the reviewer accepts the submission or requests major or minor revisions?

There is a problem. This is my first time learning about this journal, and I see that they are currently accepting submissions for a special issue on natural fibers. However, when I try to submit, there is no option for this special issue. What is going on with this special issue?

Around a week later, I encountered this editor who would increase invitations almost every week until enough reviewers accepted.

Submitted on May 28, 2025, it was under review the same day and received comments from a reviewer. Revised on June 13, 2025. Returned for revisions on July 11, 2025, as I had some personal matters causing a slight delay. Accepted on July 18, 2025. The process was quite fast, I am happy! Just not sure if I can return to Area 1 T next year, but I am already dreaming about it. I found out that when I was preparing to submit, it was still listed as Area 1 T of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Although it is no longer the case, I am still very happy. Always striving for more.

May I ask how long after inviting the first reviewer did you invite the second reviewer?

I have read a lot of experiences here and would like to share mine. Submitted on 5/19, under review on May 26, invited 7 reviewers but only 1 accepted. The editor then invited 22 more reviewers, with 3 of them accepting and providing feedback. Major revisions were made on July 1, returned for further revisions on July 12, resubmitted on July 14, and finally accepted on July 16. The whole process took 2 months. The editor was very efficient.

@lili666 When did you submit your application? I submitted mine on June 10th. How long have you been under review?

It has been almost two months, and only one of the four invited reviewers has accepted and completed the review.

Translation: I am also in the same situation, do you have any updates?

You are really fast, I haven't been invited by a reviewer for a month.

Like you, I invited 8 people in the first round, only one accepted and completed the review. It has been 20 days and there has been no change. I just sent an email directly to the journal to urge them.

I want to ask everyone, how long does the editor usually wait before inviting a second round of reviewers if the first round of invitations are not accepted? I have invited four reviewers in the first round, but only one has agreed. The remaining three have not responded in 18 days. How long will the editor wait before re-inviting them?

The previous submission was processed quite quickly, but this time it has been with the editor for over twenty days.

Two reviewers can make decisions directly.

Submitted on February 24, revised on April 4, received about 60 comments from 4 reviewers. Revised and resubmitted on May 8, revised again on June 1, with 2 acceptances, one minor revision, and one major revision. Submitted the final revision on June 12, received feedback on minor revisions on June 21, with one acceptance and one minor revision. Submitted the final revision on June 25, and finally accepted on July 1. It went through 3 rounds of revisions, mainly due to one reviewer raising a lot of questions, which caused some delays.
