It took a total of 40 days to be accepted and 50 days to be published! Overall, the experience was pretty good!

On August 26th, it was shown that two reviewers were contacted but neither agreed to review the manuscript. By August 30th, the reviewers were already overdue, but the editor has not taken any action. This is the first time I have encountered an editor who only contacted two reviewers.

It has been a week and there is still no specific information on the review status. Does this mean it will be rejected?

I have encountered this type of multiple assignment editing before, where the editor-in-charge would pass on the feedback to the chief editor, who would then decide whether to submit it for review.

What does this mean? Can I ask?

Submitted on June 5th, final preproduction review on July 7th. This magazine is really efficient and nice. It is the top choice for short and efficient work.

Hello, I am also in this situation, it has been going on for a week, but I still haven't seen the reviewer. Is your manuscript currently under external review?

There is no need to rush, the subsequent editing was directly decided based on the opinion of one reviewer.

In the same situation, may I ask about the progress of the follow-up review and if it needs to be expedited?

Submitted for a week and rejected, I decided to submit to their subsidiary Optics Continuum. The efficiency is indeed impressive, but the rejection reasons are quite ordinary and there are even grammar errors. I suggest looking at other journals for submission, as it is not easy.

It takes about two months from submission to final acceptance, mainly due to the time spent on peer review.

Pretty fast, isn't it? It usually takes editors around 1 day to peer review.

The peer review has been ongoing for over a month now, with no progress.

Older established journals are not slow, they might catch up with fewer submissions during the Chinese New Year.

Is OL slower now? It has been in the editor's hands for over a month and there is still no external review feedback.

The quality check has been ongoing for a week. It may be due to the backlog of this journal. The last round of reviews took over two months, with one reviewer agreeing to review but not submitting. This time, the quality check has been ongoing for a week and has not been approved yet.

You are absolutely right, buddy.

I also haven't received any emails, what's going on? Have you received the email in the end?

That's okay, just wait a little longer. I waited for 10 days at the time.

After the initial review, the result was that the manuscript was accepted, but it has been stuck in the Preproduction Review stage for four or five days now. Isn't this just about organizing the comments from the reviewers and editors and sending them back to the author via email? Why hasn't there been any progress for several days?
