Submitted on April 2, reviewed on April 4, just in time for the holiday. However, compared to other journals, LWT is indeed very fast in reviewing. Most articles are reviewed within a day, which may be related to the research direction. Several of mine were under review the same day, with 11 invitations and 3 acceptances. Two reviewers completed their reviews on April 15, with the editor issuing a direct RRC, then a Major revision. One had no objections, while the other made a few symbolic suggestions and added a few references. The decision was returned on April 29, with one reviewer completing their review in 6 days while the other refused to review for an entire month. Finally, the editor accepted the article on May 30, after experiencing three holidays, which would be unimaginable for a domestic editor. In summary, as long as your article has no major issues and some innovative points, as long as the editor sees potential, there should be no problem. A good editor is truly important, as encountering an irresponsible editor could prolong the process significantly. Just for reference, another article was reviewed within a few days, but two reviewers disappeared. The editor then sent it to over twenty more reviewers, totaling over forty. Two accepted with no objections, one raised structural issues, leading to a disagreement and continued review for over three months, resulting in around 4-5 months including R1 and R2. Each reviewer has their own interpretation of the same article, some may find certain issues insignificant while others are more meticulous, but ultimately, it is up to the editor. Luck plays a crucial role in this process, depending on the type of reviewers and editor you encounter.

When WE transfer to UR, will there be an email notification, or will it just silently update in the system?

Thank you, senior brother. Today I checked and it shows "under review". I hope everything goes smoothly. ?

Faster, mainly depends on the editing time. Mine is around 6 days UR, because it's right before the May Day holiday, and it's possible that the editor has already submitted but if the reviewer doesn't accept, UR won't show up.

Is there any senior who has recently invested in LWT? How long does it take for rework after the first review, currently it has been four days, thank you all.

Same question, have your word count exceeded? Has it passed the initial review?

Does anyone know that this journal has very strict requirements for word count? Is it necessary for research papers to be under 5500 words?

After eight months and four major revisions, I was rejected. The last two revisions were mainly rejected by the editor without even being sent for review. They kept finding faults and even asked questions that had already been addressed in the previous revision. In the end, it was rejected without any reason given. I don't understand why they made me revise so many times if they didn't want to accept it.

May I ask how many reviewers' opinions are there?

The difficulty level is moderate. The submission deadline is at the end of May. The first round of feedback will be received in August, and revisions should be made in September. Acceptance will be confirmed a little over half a month later.

The initial review decision is a bit slow. WE was suppressed in the first 22 days, and the 23rd day was based on the scope of the journal. It feels like a decision should be made within a week, otherwise it will waste the time of the submitting authors, especially those facing graduation.

That is indeed quite good.

The editor may have made the decision directly without sending it for review.

Why is your return so fast? I returned it on 2.10, and it's not UR yet on 2.13?

The layout fee is relatively expensive now, with an annual submission volume of around 5000.

Submission on 2024.10.19
With editor on 2024.12.02, lasted for 6 weeks, the date changed once, feeling anxious and restless, worried that if the overseas holidays fall in between, it will be delayed until after the new year. So I tried to urge the submission by replying directly to the email sent to the corresponding author (although the email was forwarded back and forth, but rest assured, someone replied after it was sent), and the customer service replied on the same day, saying that the time has indeed been long and they will help me forward it to the editor.
With editor on 2024.12.06, it seems like the editor has started reviewing.
Under review on 2024.12.07, can see that a new editor has taken over. This Portuguese editor is really responsible.
Required review completed on 2024.12.11, thank goodness, only 3 reviewers completed the review.
Major revision and reconsideration on 2024.12.14, received feedback from 3 reviewers with a total of 17 comments. Submitted on the 18th. The same day was with editor.
Under review on 2024.12.22
Required review completed on 2024.12.25, the editor is really dedicated.

Online on 2025.01.01.
