I applied for the RRC to DIP program for just one week, and at that time I thought it was quite fast. However, unexpectedly, the return of RRC for rework got stuck. May I ask where did you see how many reviewers completed the review process?

The first-instance RRC saw the opinions of two experts two months ago, and it remains the same now.

May I ask if you are in the initial rrc for so long or in the rework rrc? I am currently stuck in the rework rrc, it has been two weeks already.

Is it normal for RRC to be two months late? Sending emails is not working, do the bosses have any other ways to urge the submission of the manuscript? Please help!

Isn't a UR of two weeks normal? Generally, one to two months for a UR is considered quite fast.

The reviewers were prompt in their reviews, but the editors were a bit slow. Overall, the process went smoothly.

I submitted my manuscript in September last year, but I still don't know the result. Can I send an email to remind them? It seems that reminding via email in the comments section doesn't work very well.

It's been two months already, but there's still no progress. How about you guys?

The article was submitted on August 9th, 25, and received initial feedback from three reviewers in mid-November (major revision). After revisions were made and resubmitted by the end of November, the article went through the Christmas and New Year holidays. In early February of 26, minor revisions were requested by the second round of reviewers, and the article was accepted after the revisions were made.

This was the first time submitting to this publication, and there were no restrictions on word count or number of figures. The editorial team and reviewers were very friendly and professional. The process would have been quicker if not for the holiday season.

I have no impression of whether there is a "with editor" step.

Overall processing speed is average, with a relatively long first review time, friendly review comments. Results are expected by the end of January, as the editorial department may still be celebrating Chinese New Year.

It's been over 20 days since I submitted my manuscript to STJ, but there has been no progress. Is the editorial department all made up of personal connections? I am frustrated.
