On August 27th, I emailed the editor to inquire about the progress. On August 28th, they notified me that the paper had been accepted. After two or three days, they asked me to revise the manuscript. This speed is quite fast, as it took less than 5 months from submission to acceptance.

Today I checked the system and it's still in the "In Review" status. It seems like it will take another month or so, possibly until around August 16th.

How is the progress going now?

On July 9th, the revised draft was submitted, and the status showed initial review. On July 16th (today), it shows In Review. Is this an internal or external review? It feels a bit strange.

This is the third round of review for me, and it may not be further reviewed because the email only shows the editor's comments without the reviewer's comments. It is unclear how long this will continue.

How many rounds of external audits?

(0) 讚！ | jack tomas

I had an external audit on May 28th, and the second review came back on July 7th. It was a minor revision, and the reviewers seemed to have no objections. The editor gave a few suggestions, so now we have to wait and see how long it will take to hear back after this round of submission. Both reviewers had no objections, so it is likely that the editor will review the manuscript.

How long does it take to receive the proof or online?

After going back and forth for a year, making three rounds of revisions and even polishing it once, it was finally rejected without any reason. I am so frustrated, what should I do?

May I ask if there has been any progress, OP?

I submitted my paper on July 17, 2025. The status changed to "Under Review" on August 8, 2025. I received minor revisions on February 13, 2026. I revised the paper and submitted it on February 24, 2026. The paper was returned due to minor errors on the title page on March 15, 2026. I resubmitted it on the same day. As of June 4, 2026, I have not received any decision. I have missed the opportunity to defend my final thesis at my university and now have to wait until next December.

Have you been published yet? It's been exactly 3 months since I accepted your submission, but I still haven't received the proof.

The revised manuscript was submitted on May 9th and then entered the Initial Checklist status. It was seen in the In Review status on May 28th. How long does the second round of review usually take?

It is an external audit.

(0) 讚！ | fjcyue007

I submitted it at the end of March and it seems that the Initial Checklist may take about a week. It was sent for review at the beginning of April, and feedback was received in early May for revisions. I made the revisions within a week and resubmitted it. It is still in the Initial Checklist now. The process is not slow, it's quite fast.

Submission deadline by the end of December 2025
Major revisions in early February 2026
Return for revisions by the end of February 2026
It has been in "In Review" status all this time. Has anyone's paper been accepted in March or April this year? It seems like the journal is paralyzed. The official website is not updating papers regularly, and there are even rumors of papers being accepted and then rejected. I don't know what's going on...

The paper was received in January and the proof has not been published yet since late February. The journal's official website has been very slow to update recently, and mainly publishes articles by foreign authors, giving the impression of controlling the amount of articles being published.

I am about the same time zone as you, but I still haven't paid the fee or provided proof.
