The contribution level can be viewed in the submission system and can also be viewed when replying to comments, provided that you have not made any changes. I modified the contribution level at that time and can't remember the details of the first submission, but I roughly explained it to the reviewers based on my memory. Specifically: 1. I did not keep good original records, so I can't remember the original contribution level. 2. The table explains the latest contribution level and reasons (provide explanations for important modifications to the contribution level made by the editor based on memory). 3. Scan the signed declaration document and the author's consent.

Excuse me, has it been resolved?

Did the submission succeed? Is it because the "Provide additional information" section is not completed, so I can't submit mine either?

Employed from the 5th to the 25th, with the possibility of rework.

The feeling of writing is just so-so... not very confident.

Everyone, why can't I submit it? Unable to generate PDF.

I am also the editor-in-chief, but my lack of originality led to my paper being desk rejected.

Where can I check the contributions of the author when they first submitted their work? I didn't pay attention when submitting, is it possible to check after submitting?

What should I do if I don't remember the author contribution when I first submitted the manuscript? Can I still find the author contribution that was written at the time of submission?

Is the weekend editor of this journal not working? I submitted my article on Friday afternoon and it was still not published by Sunday.

May I ask which editor it is?

May I ask how many opinions RRC finally received?

Do we need opinions from three reviewers for this journal? Two reviewers have finished their reviews, but their opinions are conflicting. Will the editor respond?

The writing is a bit verbose, so I'll add a few more words to share with new contributors:
1. Don't change the order of authors and contributions randomly, which will delay the review process. When replying for the first time, I didn't change the order of authors, just made slight adjustments to the specific contributions, which took a week of back and forth.
2. I haven't seen an official template for writing papers yet. If there is one, you can refer to the information in the submission system and the submission guidelines for the requirements on images and text. The text requirements mainly focus on the cover letter. (I wrote the main body according to the requirements of the submission with my own template)
3. Paper tracking: Follow the official WeChat account of Elsevier Research Publishing Service, enter the manuscript number and corresponding author information to track it; or enter "track your submission" through the link in the email received by the corresponding author.
4. The speed of this journal's editing is quite good, but sometimes reviewers are a bit inconsistent... I wish everyone good luck in getting their submissions accepted.

2026.01.26 revision submitted (One of the reviewers seemed to have a complete change of heart from their initial positive feedback to a negative evaluation in the second round, lightly criticizing with some data (trying not to be too harsh...), and requesting additional simulations as per their requirements. Reviewer 3 agreed to accept (thank you to this reviewer), a new Reviewer 4 was added, addressing the issues and providing additional data in the response.)

2026.01.31 under review (0, 0, 2)

2026.03.02 accept (2, 2, 3) (Reviewer 4 recommended acceptance, new Reviewer 5 recommended acceptance, sincerely grateful for their recommendations and relevant suggestions, the logical and overall quality has indeed improved. Those days, I was really worried about having to revise again, and even considered switching to another journal.

I suddenly realized that the word "accept" looks really nice, wishing everyone to see the acceptance they desire.)

The new editor-in-chief Clare of AM may not be friendly towards China, as both of the submissions were directly rejected.

I really like additive manufacturing (although it is not the main focus of my research), and it feels very romantic to publish an article in this journal named "Addictive Manufacturing"! I hope the journal will continue to improve!

What's the status now, brother?

I was rejected very quickly the day after I submitted my application for the first time. This time, after submitting it, the status has been stuck for several days.
