Hello, I would like to ask, I am a major revision, and now after submitting the revised manuscript, it shows "Awaiting Decision". Shouldn't it be "Under Review" first before "Awaiting Decision"? I am worried about rejection.

Me too! We have a revised manuscript that was submitted over 20 days ago, and it is still under editorial review.

I would like to ask how long is the review period for Deputy Editor Ren Bin? Is it normal for a submission to have been waiting for over two weeks without being sent for review?

I would like to ask about the reviewing speed of Deputy Editor Ren Bin. It has been over two weeks since the submission and it has not been reviewed yet. Is this situation normal?

After two rounds of external review, the first round resulted in only one review comment (minor revision). The editor requested revisions and resubmission. After resubmission, three new reviewers were sought to assess the changes. It appeared that the first two reviewers had recommended rejection and minor revision, so a third reviewer was brought in for arbitration. The third reviewer suggested major revisions, and after the editor integrated all review comments, major revisions were requested. Following the major revisions, the paper was accepted approximately 20 days later.

Teacher Ren is very nice, efficient, and easygoing. The AC editors in China are also very good, and one of my articles has already been accepted by Teacher Ren.

I don't know, I submitted an article to the editor 10 days ago, but it has not been reviewed yet.

It's only been two weeks, but I have been under the deputy editor's supervision for over a month since transferring from EST. Maybe foreigners are just slow when it comes to holidays.

Has there been any submissions recently? The associate editor has had two weeks and still hasn't sent for review or rejected it. This has never happened before.

I have been in the Editorial Review status since November 24th. How long will this take? It's so slow.

Why is the review process slower now, with more reviewers? Is everyone in the same situation? How long is the review period now, does anyone have any experience to share?
