Major revision given two weeks
Submitted revision on November 21, 2025, and still waiting
It's actually quite slow... First review took four months.

Can this publication also take half a year for review? (Nervous)

Hello, big brother, I would like to ask if only the corresponding author can see the review status in the system, and other authors cannot receive any messages.

I am also in this stage, and I have no intention of doing so.

Bro, I have a question. After being hired, do we need to provide an original non-AI generated cover image for the paper? I saw it written in the task assignment.

It is possible that the two reviewers took too long to provide their feedback, so the editor accepted the submission without waiting for their comments.

May I ask how long it typically takes for this journal to process submissions from submission to acceptance? How does it compare to IEEE TIM? Currently, AFM has rejected our submission and provided us with this transfer link.

With reference to soft robotics, the current impact factor is not advantageous, the founding time is not advantageous, and the overall reputation of open access needs to be improved. Fortunately, there are still many domestic leading teams and potential new talents being invested. Therefore, it is unrealistic to dream of reaching the top tier within the next two years; reaching the second tier would already be considered as achieving the target ahead of schedule.

Can I ask you experts if this journal has a chance to be upgraded to the first tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences this year?

Hello, are there any other statuses between "manuscript submitted" and "major" in the submission process?

I provide a timeline:
1. Submission: November 30, 2023
2. Major revision: April 5, 2024
3. Submission of revised manuscript: May 8, 2024
4. Minor revision: June 10, 2024
5. Resubmission of revised manuscript: August 8, 2024
6. Paper acceptance: August 21, 2024
The whole process feels a bit long to me, about nine months. It didn't feel very quick, so I thought I would provide a reference for everyone.
