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.

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?

Before sending the manuscript for the second review, the original reviewer has been showing "waiting due", will the review be delayed if the reviewer does not accept it?

It's no use resisting, just accept it. From now on, all the manuscripts will be submitted to COL.

ZKY is awesome, if you don't believe it, you're missing out. Once you believe it, that's the way to go. All future submissions should be sent to COL.

No, I'm looking for a reviewer.

Two minor revisions were requested, but the editor rejected them directly. The rejection felt a bit like nitpicking, with various experiments to supplement the length of the article.

Will the submission be rejected directly by the editor if there is no information about the reviewers after ten days in the peer review process?

Translate the following passage into English: "比较快"

(0) 讚！ | 之道

The speed of the review process mainly depends on the reviewers' review cycle. Initially, there were three reviewers, with only one agreeing to review. After half a month, two more reviewers were found, and one agreed to review. My review time was around 40 days. The review comments were: one major revision, one minor revision, or acceptance. After making the revisions and submitting additional materials, the paper was accepted without being sent for a second review.

OL strictly limits the length of articles.

I have not submitted yet. Can I ask if the submission to OL cannot exceed 4 pages? Is it also not allowed to pay extra for the additional pages?

Please add the email address. If you cannot add it, remember to turn off the automatic translation of the browser! Hope to submit for review quickly.

Hello, did the reviewers have specific reasons for rejection in the previous two rounds of review?

I submitted to OL three times. The first two times, after the review, they requested major revisions and then rejected the manuscript (the feedback indicated that the revisions were feasible). This time, they requested one major revision and one minor revision. After completing the revisions, the manuscript was sent for review again before finally being accepted. Overall, it seems that the submission process is quite luck-dependent, and the editor's decision tends to be more conservative.
