At present, the RRC has been three weeks, neither returned for revision nor rejected, the editorial department is completely paralyzed, and it is still unclear who the editor is.

What does this mean? The article has been submitted for review but no invitation has been sent to the reviewers, and the responsible editor doesn't know who it is.

I am also in the same situation. There has been no news since RRC on March 2nd. Ask who your editor is, are they always like this?

May I ask what is the status of your paper now? I am also the reviewer for this paper, and it has been two weeks since the second round of review with no updates.

Is Chun Mann Chin the main editor?

I submitted on January 13th, but the two reviewers I found in the middle disappeared. I have followed up twice, but there is still no new reviewer assigned.

2026.1.3 submit
1.5 under review
1.14 Two reviewers have submitted their comments
2026.2.26 still no response from the editorial board
For those rushing to graduate, do not submit here, the process is extremely slow. I have seen some first round submissions taking several weeks to come back, so be cautious.

Please update the final result. I submitted to this journal on December 6, 24, underwent 3 rounds of revisions, with the final submission on February 7, 26, and acceptance on February 20, 26. The entire process took about 15 months. I cannot blame this journal, as they did need this article. However, I will not submit to this journal again. 15 months, my patience has been worn thin. I suggest consulting with the editor if there are no comments for a week.

Can I ask which editor it is?

The article was submitted on August 8th, 25 years ago, and the first review was completed on November 4th. Three reviewers and an editor provided nearly 40 comments for revision. The revised version was resubmitted on December 2nd, and then again on December 12th. The final decision was made on December 19th, with minor revisions requested by January 16th. One reminder email was sent in between, with no issues from two reviewers but a small image problem raised by the third reviewer, along with two additional points from the editor. The revised version was submitted on January 17th, and after the reviewers' final assessment on January 22nd, it returned to the revise-resubmit cycle. The waiting period seemed endless, and while feedback for another article has been received, there is still no news on this one. Regardless of the outcome, it seems unlikely that any future articles will be submitted to this journal, as the process has been torturous for both the author and their mentor, with efficiency levels that are frighteningly low.

Throughout this process, the editor was truly responsible, changing reviewers every 14 days, continuously changing...

After the repair, it has been in the editor's hands for nearly a month. Can we send an email to inquire about this situation?

A bitter submission experience.
June 23, 2025, submission
July 24, 2025, major revision, 3 reviewers, with 7/7/10 comments respectively, and editor with 13 comments
September 11, 2025, revised
September 20, 2025, editor finally sent for review, and I sent a reminder email halfway through, but the editor said it would be before October 16, but ended up delaying for nearly two weeks
October 28, 2025, major revision for second review, only one of the three reviewers replied, agreeing to accept. The editor felt it wasn't enough, so two more reviewers were sought, one of whom replied with 5 comments. Strangely, most of the comments were on the original text, which I had already revised. Could it be that the editor sent them the manuscript I submitted in June?
November 16, 2025, revised for second time
December 11, 2025, third revision! The previous reviewer had replied on the same day that the manuscript was acceptable, but the editor still raised several issues, mostly related to the SI.
December 31, 2025, revised for third time
January 22, 2026, acceptance
The editor is Rafael Kenji Nishihora, judging by the name, he should be of Japanese descent.
Seven months, a full seven months! I passed my intermediate title defense in December. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It tortured me for so long, but at least I don't have to worry about the thesis for the advanced title in five years.
In the end, I would like to say - avoid pitfalls, if you can avoid submitting, then don't submit!

I would like to ask how many reviewers are needed to complete the review process for this journal before providing feedback?

A very bumpy submission experience.

August 14, 2024, submission.
October 7, 2024, major revision, with 3 reviewers providing 4/4/10 comments respectively, and the editor providing nearly 10 comments. Initially, two reviewers requested revisions and the editor added another reviewer, causing a delay in the first round of review.
October 27, 2024, revised submission.
November 17, 2024, editor sent for review.
December 11, 2024, minor revision, with 2 reviewers requesting revisions, but the editor only included one reviewer's comments in the email: acceptance, and also requested some ORCID information.
December 12, 2024, revised submission.
January 15, 2025, acceptance.

The editor is Salvatore Federico, who typically takes more than 10 days to process manuscripts each time, but seems to be more reliable than the other two editors, with fewer complications. He is quite responsible and provides fair comments. However, the journal is extremely slow, and I will definitely not submit to it again or recommend it to others in the future.
