Carolmachong, how long has your under review status been going on for?

(0) 讚！ | Nick

After two months of submission, received major revisions comments, the reviewer was very good at PUA, in short, the overall direction was fine, but a lot of detailed suggestions were given. After one month of major revisions, waited for almost half a year, probably the original reviewer could not be found, and had to go through two more rounds of major revisions, only to be rejected directly by the editor-in-chief. It is suggested not to submit to this journal if your study leans towards engineering applications, as the reviewer's questions were very amateurish.

7.19 awaiting reviewer assignment
7.20 awaiting reviewer scores
During the initial revision, the editor provided 5 comments, while the two reviewers provided a total of 17 comments. In the week before the revision, the editor changed it to a minor revision, which was quite magical!

I couldn't get in touch with the original reviewer, so I had to change to a new one for the second review. I've been waiting for 4 months for the second review. I'm really scared that the original reviewer has disappeared!

It's been about a month and a half, but I am awaiting reviewer scores. In the old system, I could check the status of the review, the first review took about two months, then awaiting AE recommendation, followed by awaiting DE recommendation, and finally awaiting EIC decision. In fact, the handling by the associate editor, editor, and chief editor is relatively fast, adding up to only about a week. I suspect the slow process may be due to difficulty in finding reviewers. After my major revisions, one of the reviewers could not be contacted and had to be replaced, leading to a 4-month wait for the second review before ultimately being accepted. I suggest you can send a polite email to inquire with the editor, usually they will give you a response. Good luck!

May I ask how long it took for the initial review to start after you submitted your application? Mine has been under review for over two months now.

The first submission to EJSS was accepted after a major revision. The review process was very strict, with many comments from the reviewers and editors. The review process was not fast, so patience is needed when submitting an article.

The 8000-word limit for this journal refers to the word count excluding references, not the entire text being limited to 8000 words. This condition should be fairly easy to meet, right? Mine is around 6000 words excluding references
