I am in a similar situation. It took four months for the first review to be given a major revision, and I have been waiting for the reviewer's score for over two months for the second review.

Will the summer TE handle the manuscripts?

The first review takes about three months, the second review takes about three months for minor revisions, and the third review takes two months. Altogether, it took ten months and one week before I finally received the acceptance notification. The reviewers were very diligent, responsible, and pleasant to communicate with. The editors were also diligent, but their processing speed was really slow. Wishing everyone good luck!

It's been more than ten days, is it July vacation already??

Hello, the time difference between our submissions is not much. May I ask what your current status is?

However, it is really slow. It has been exactly three months since the paper was submitted, and it is still in the reviewer scoring stage. I don't know if it can be returned in four months.

For the past two months, it has been in "Awaiting Reviewer Scores" status. I have sent an inquiry email about the status. ADM quickly replied, stating that the paper is already under review and there are no delays.

I am also waiting for the first review for three months, major revisions; it has been two months since the second review and it is still under review. Have you sent an email to follow up?

There are too many manuscripts, the editor will control the quantity. Don't worry.

I have been waiting for two months for the first revision and second review, but the status has not changed. Does anyone know the reason for this? Is it possible that a new reviewer has been added?

It should have been rejected.

Could you please clarify whether being listed as "awaiting EIC decision" directly after "under review" means that the manuscript has been rejected without being sent for external review?

May I ask if there will be a reminder for re-review after RR? I have been waiting in TE for a month and a half now, but still have not received any feedback.

How long have you been in TE status? I haven't heard anything for half a month.

7/7 ADM reminded SE
7/15 Still Awaiting TE Assignment
It's been a month and it still hasn't been submitted for review. Might as well just have it returned.

Is it received in the past few days? Many people in the comments are stuck on SE.

The response letter is over 30 pages long, nearly twice the length of the manuscript, and includes additional experiments. Tmech has strict requirements, so we dare not be negligent.

Excuse me, may I ask all the experts, is it not possible to see the status of the old system of this journal? Is the status of the new system complete?

(0) 讚！ | wjfhaha

After Tmech's review comments are all returned, the status will still be Awaiting Reviewer Scores until the backend editor starts handling it. So it may not necessarily be the reviewer's fault... Is it confirmed? After going through two minor revisions, it has been stuck in Awaiting Reviewer Scores for almost a month and a half.

Bro, let's skip SE today.

SE is on vacation? Mine has also been stuck at SE since 7.8.

I will wait until the morning to see if SE can handle it. Just now, the result was given directly and there were no comments from SE in the review.

How do you know the SE was skipped? Wasn't there an opinion from the SE?
