Brother, may I ask, am I now at Awaiting EIC Decision, Awaiting Decision. Is it Awaiting EIC Decision, Awaiting Decision Approval the final stage?

Brother, may I ask, I am now in the second review, and my current status is Awaiting EIC Decision, Awaiting Decision. Does this mean I have not reached the final stage yet?

I feel the same way. Seeing three different statuses all at once can be a bit overwhelming. How are you doing now? Would you like to chat and catch up a bit?

How come the second round came so quickly, and inexplicably all five people accepted.

"awaiting decision" isn't it already at the editor's? Why is it still with the reviewers?

It is possible that the extended review period is simply due to the second review being sent back to the reviewer, who did not have time to review it.

The second appeal is awaiting decision for almost a week now. Does anyone know what's going on?

Today revised, 5 people, over 30 comments, each person with 6-7 comments, the number of pages in the paper soared after revisions...

There is a 21-month-old child upstairs. It's terrifying.

Here is a reference for everyone: it has been 21 months, with one major revision in between, and I have never seen a publication process as slow as this one, it is still under review.

The IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics has recently come under criticism for its rapid increase in publication volume and excessive reliance on journal self-citations. The journal's 2024 Impact Factor (IF) published in Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports is 10.9, but when self-citations are excluded, the IF drops to 5.2, meaning that approximately 52% of the metric comes from internal citations.

Many researchers believe that this phenomenon raises concerns about the journal's true external academic impact, especially in the context of a significant expansion in the number of published papers and a perceived decline in paper quality. Despite these indicators, Web of Science has not taken formal action against the journal, possibly because Clarivate focuses more on overall citation behavior in their evaluations, rather than just the self-citation rate. Additionally, the journal is affiliated with IEEE, a longstanding and highly reputable publishing institution.

This situation has sparked broader discussions in the academic community: under similar conditions, do traditional large publishing institutions receive greater leniency in literature indexing agency reviews compared to smaller or less prestigious journals?
