Are you with the editor now, zkq22? Has it been sent for review?

We still don't have contact with the editor. Does this journal publish online once a month, slower than a quarterly journal?

I am just like you, submitted on 4.7, and it's still Manuscript Submitted as of 4.15. This journal is really dragging its feet.

What should we do now if we haven't reached with editor yet? It's frustrating to waste a whole week!

I also want to urge, but I can't see who the editor is after submitting it for review. Should I urge customer service?

Every 10 days there is a reminder, but it's useless. The editor just goes online and there is no action at all. I give up.

The first trial took over 3 months, and the second trial will be completed in just 2 months. India editor [smile]

I haven't received any feedback for three months after the first review. I really want to withdraw my submission.

I didn't expect everyone to be in this situation. Why don't we just withdraw the submission and resubmit it?

I submitted it on April 7th, and it is still Manuscript Submitted. It's really slow.

How come everything suddenly started to drag on? I wish I had known earlier, it would have been better to submit to an international heat and mass transfer journal. What a lazy bunch of editors.

What is this editor doing! Hasn't processed the manuscript for a week???

The overall process is quite smooth, but waiting can still be quite agonizing.

After submission, it took 4 months to be under review, and then the reviewers also delayed for two months. After revisions, it took another two months to be under review before acceptance.

Submitted on December 30, 2025, With editor on the same day.
Under Review on January 1, 2026.
Reviews complete on February 17, 2026, with one minor revision and one major revision. However, the boss was on holiday for the Chinese New Year, didn't check the email, so didn't inform me.
Reviews complete on February 27, 2026. Received feedback, started revisions.
With editor on March 18, 2026, barely meeting the deadline of March 19. Under review on the same day.
Second round of review completed in 5 days, accepted.

It was accepted in less than three months, the reviewers' level is also very high, and they are probably not Chinese (the reviewer who provided minor revisions even diligently helped me improve grammar in handwritten form). I hope the journal will continue to improve.

The only downside is that there have been some issues during the proofreading stage. The editor made over 80 changes to the formatting in the proofreading system. When our boss logged in, he thought I made the changes and sent me an email scolding me late at night, saying it was the first time he had seen a student changing the format in the proofreading system, which he considered unnecessary.

Who understands the feeling of redemption when receiving a paragraph from the boss, highlighted in yellow, bold, in red font, with exclamation marks and question marks, just before going to sleep.

The article was submitted on November 4th and revised on March 1st, but one expert has not responded yet. It's been over four months, too slow.
