Submit in mid-September 2026 (it is best to use a school email, otherwise it will take half a month to change the email), receive revision comments in mid-December (specific times for UR, RRC, and DIP are not remembered), revise by the end of December, WE—>UR—>RRC in January 2027, DIP from February 3 to March 3, and finally accepted. Personal experience: Once the journal decides to review, external reviewers will return comments in about 2 weeks, but the editors will take about 20-30 days to process. Finally, thank you for everyone's submission experience, and wish you all a smooth submission process.

Students can use personal accounts, but they need to explain in the cover letter.

Hey, I wanted to ask, I submitted my manuscript and it was returned to me, saying that every author must use the school email, and cannot use QQ or NetEase email. I'm wondering if every author really needs to use the school email? Do students even have school emails?

Hey, I want to ask, I submitted an article and they returned it to me, saying that every author must use their school email, not QQ or NetEase email. I'm wondering if every author really needs to use a school email? What about students? How can students get a school email if they don't have one?

Can the journal be upgraded to the second district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences next year? The impact factor and citation score are both good, and I hope the journal will continue to improve!

Hello, what does "consulting customer service" mean? Is it looking for an editor?

Bro, I got rejected after the first review of RRC, did you have this status at that time?

Bro, after my first review in RRC, I got DIP. Do you have the same status?

This journal’s quality has significantly declined. Editors struggle to assign reviewers with appropriate expertise. The reviewers for my manuscript did not thoroughly read the paper, and one requested experiments unrelated to the study. These issues waste authors’ time and reduce the journal’s credibility.

If there are really no reviewers available, can we apply to edit ourselves? I feel like I'm hanging by a thread.

All dates will be updated, it's just a matter of timing. The "track" can only be seen after it has been sent for external review. These dates are recorded by myself, and once it is updated to the next state, the previous state's date will not be visible.

Can this status update be seen on the EM, or on the public account, or on the track? How do we know when to invite new reviewers? What is the acceptance rate?

Can we see the date changes in the status update on EM, or on the public account, or on Track? How do we know when to invite new reviewers? Also, what is the acceptance rate for this?

My editor basically invites new reviewers every 1-2 weeks, adding 2-3 new reviewers each time, with one instance adding 6 new reviewers. It wasn't until about 50 days into the process that a reviewer finally accepted the review.

I am on the 2nd of September morning now, and no one has accepted the manuscript. Brother, you have invited several rounds of reviewers, and I really hope to meet good editors and reviewers.

Different research directions will have differences, my direction is obviously slower than the several people upstairs who were hired, and no one has been reviewing the manuscript for the past month and a half. I once thought that it would be rejected due to a lack of reviewers.

Could I ask the blogger, how long does it usually take for reviewers to accept a submission? Is it generally possible to receive revisions by March?

The reviewers are responding very slowly. It was submitted for review on May 9th, and only one out of the two reviewers has completed the review so far. The editors are also slow to respond, so friends in the predictive field should think carefully.

The end, it still feels a bit mysterious, with efficiency fluctuating, taking two months in total. Hopefully, all students can take this into consideration.

The next step is to go to Decision in Process. It has been stuck for half a month.
