After two rounds of major revisions and three rounds of review, the paper has finally been accepted! The reviewers were very responsible and their suggestions greatly improved the quality of the paper. The editors were also responsible, making it a good submission experience.

The number of submissions is too high now. Last week, I submitted a paper and received a desk rejection after four days, the reason being that the volume of submissions is too high. So now, getting published depends on luck. The moment the handling editor clicks "approve submission," the fate of your paper is decided. If you are lucky and get assigned to a handling editor familiar with your research field, your paper will be sent for review. If you are unlucky and the handling editor is not familiar with your research or is not interested, your paper will be rejected directly. This is not necessarily related to the quality of your paper. So, don't be discouraged, quickly submit to another journal.

It could also be a standard rejection reply, as I have recently received rejections due to submitting too many articles.

Is there a problem with this journal? It does not match the civil engineering direction, but does it match the physiology direction?

A research article conducted in the middle of last year was initially intended to be submitted to a journal on clean production. However, considering the average reputation of the journal, my doctoral advisor recommended BAE, which was more suitable. After making some modifications to the article to align it more with the field of architectural environment, it was submitted.

On 26th January, the article was submitted and by 28th January, it was under review.

By 20th November, the first round of review was completed, requiring major revisions. Reviewer 1 provided over 30 detailed comments, while Reviewer 2 had three more general comments. 

After making the necessary revisions, the article was resubmitted on 16th December and was under review the next day.

On 2nd January, the second round of review was completed, still requiring significant revisions but with fewer comments. Reviewer 1 had eight comprehensive comments while Reviewer 2 had no further comments, indicating acceptance.

The final revision was submitted on 14th January, and the next day it was under review again.

On 21st January, the review process was completed, and the article was accepted. 

Good luck to everyone! Wishing you all an early Happy New Year!

Can this journal be checked for progress on the Elsevier public account? Mine is already under review, but I couldn't find any results after inputting it.

My article has been accepted. The journal editor should have been on vacation in August, so mine has been sitting with the editor for quite a while.

This journal needs to find several reviewers. The status is updated daily and we have been constantly looking for reviewers. It's a bit worrying.

I am in a similar situation as the original poster. It has been almost ten days since I submitted my revisions to the editor, but they have not sent it for review.
