How are things going now?

PHYSICS OF FLUIDS used to hold a high position in my mind, but since a pseudo-scientific article in my field was recently published, I have serious doubts about the journal's quality. The paper even received comments from the founder of our field, as seen in the last sentence of this webpage: https://pubs.aip.org/aip/pof/article/37/10/109101/3368360. "We have reviewed recent papers on geophysical fluid dynamics published in Physics of Fluids ¹⁸⁻²⁸, and have not seen any like reference Y25, which both abandons classical physics theories and lacks mathematical modeling. Given the numerous issues with this article, we hope readers do not consider Y25 as a significant challenge to tidal theory."

May I ask what's the current situation now?

No change yet, why haven't we found a reviewer?

What's going on with POF? The data is dropping in Q2. I used to envy my colleagues in the same group who were doing wholesale water at POF and wanted to join them, but now it's not even as good as the ordinary structured journals I used to publish in.

I already have 5 reviewers, but I am still on the verge of collapse just to respond to their comments. The reviewing style is different from before.

Now POF has become much stricter, the associate editor will first raise many questions, and then must find four reviewers, which is still challenging.

It should be just submitted for review, and it takes a long time to find reviewers. The editor gave some suggestions first, and then it was sent for review.

My situation is that editors must wait for responses from three reviewers. After searching for a month, only two reviewers replied. The editor sent an email saying that the deadline had been exceeded but the required number of reviewers had not been met. I have seen others say they had to wait for responses from four reviewers, so in the future, it should be at least three reviewers.

Is there a case where the editor directly provided ten review comments, but after revisions, it has been stuck at the "securing reviewer" step?

Mine too, it's been close to a month and it's still "Submission Check by Journal Office Started".

Submission Check by Journal Office Started. This has been stuck for over a month. Does anyone know why?

Before submitting for review, there will be an initial review by the editor. After two days, the editor will send back their feedback, and only minor changes will be needed before submission. Don't worry, it's not a rejection.

It seems like we did not receive any notification about the linked account.

However, not all authors in the journal articles are associated with ORCID.

Reply to the comment above: You should ask all the authors to check their emails to see if there are any unread messages. It seems that POF requires all authors to link their ORCID accounts, which might be the reason for this.

I am also doing the same. Let me revise and resubmit the manuscript with red markings after formatting. Currently looking for reviewers.

May I ask if there are any results yet?

Has there been any progress? I am in a similar situation, also looking for reviewers, and suddenly a decision was made.

Feedback on major revisions will be provided 33 days after submission. Revised manuscripts must be resubmitted within 27 days. Once resubmitted, a decision on acceptance will be made within 9 days.
