The status remained blank around March 10th until it changed to In Review on the 21st. Does In Review for this journal mean it is sent for external review?

This is the most comfortable journal I have ever submitted to, and it is also my first overseas SCI Zone 1 journal.

The first review sent to two reviewers, both of whom provided very positive and rigorous feedback, each with 3 pages of PDF comments, and read through the entire manuscript. After the revisions, a third reviewer was added for the second review, all three reviewers recommended acceptance. The "decision in process" on January 17th indicated that the acceptance of the article had been confirmed, and the editorial department needed to do copywriting. After returning the proof, the article was accepted directly. In summary, it was a very good submission experience.

The first review has been ongoing for over three months, but recently there has been a small change - the specific progress table for the review cannot be seen. Does anyone know what's going on?

After nearly 5 months of the first trial, a minor repair was made, and a few days later, the interface showing "decision after accepted" appeared. It has been stuck here without any changes. Does anyone know why?

After the editor was assigned, there was a gap, and then another editor was assigned, followed by another gap. It's been over half a month now. Does anyone know what's going on?

Thank you for the comment, may I ask if my status is "decision in process"?
1 major revision, 1 minor revision
I don't know why it shows "decision in process" twice. Currently, I have the status "accepted," but then it immediately started "decision" again. I'm not sure what's going on.
Could you please provide an explanation?

It's just that the online time is too long. I have accepted within 4 months, but I haven't posted online yet! Still waiting!

Yes, recently I received a paper, and after receiving the revision comments, my advisor asked me to change all the colors to gray. The fee for this was quite expensive!

How long does it take for the journal to be sent for review after being assigned to the editor?

(0) 讚！ | 北油沉积小陈

The first revision was accepted directly, taking 3 months in total. The online time was just a bit long.

I discovered that the pictures in this journal are all in gray. Can we submit colored pictures? Will there be a charge for colored pictures?

Alas, I submitted yesterday and received a rejection email from the editor today... They said that my research is too limited to a small range of individual cases, and suggested Lithos... Well, actually, it's quite tactful, the wording is very gentle, not bad... It's just a pity that it wasn't sent for review.
