After composing the Author Proof, wait for the proofreading email, which will only be sent to the corresponding author. I had to wait for 10 days before receiving the notification for proofreading.

It took 46 days from being hired to finally being published. It took a month from being hired to the final draft, and then another 15 days of waiting after the final draft.

You may have a point, but this time they have also changed the editing team, so they should be starting to make improvements.

The recognition of POF in the industry is really getting worse. The high self-citation rate indicates a strong emphasis on small circle culture, with many articles being from relationships rather than merit. It's now reasonable to say that being in the second tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not top-notch, as several articles have been of poor quality and lacking in innovation.

Excuse me, has the Composing Author Proof been completed? Can we just wait for it?

I recently just submitted an article, but it seems that the overall process is slower than before, and it has not been proofread yet. I wonder how much longer I have to wait.

Brothers, anyone know if the manuscript submitted for the first time needs to be in double-column format? I couldn't find a Word template on the official website, so does that mean a template is not necessary? But then the author instructions mention preparing a PDF version, which got me confused.

The first submission to POF exceeded my expectations! Although there was a change in the editorial board during the process, I was momentarily worried, but it turned out that my worries were unnecessary!

After submitting the manuscript, I received minor revisions after 2 months, and it was accepted two days after resubmitting.

Feeling a bit panicked, it's been 6 days since the proofreading was completed, but we still haven't started preparing for production. It's torture.

This journal seems to be slow in publication. I haven't received any proofreading emails since my paper was accepted.

The process was faster than expected, taking a total of 70 days from submission to acceptance. There were a total of 3 reviewers, one major revision and two minor revisions. After addressing the issues raised by the first reviewer and submitting the revisions, the paper was accepted by the editor, making the process relatively smooth.

Does this status indicate that the submission has not been sent for review and is likely to be rejected?

How many reviewers are needed in total, and how many opinions will there be from the reviewers?

You can make changes. Just directly edit the draft by the author.

What is the current situation with this journal? We have received feedback from three reviewers, but only two have responded. We have been waiting for the fourth reviewer for fifteen days, and there has been no update on their status. What is going on? Shouldn't a decision be made after receiving feedback from two reviewers? Did the editor disappear?

I also received this email, but where should I make the changes, or has it not been sent to me yet...

Dear academicians, the article has reached the proofs stage, but there is a problem with the author's affiliation information provided earlier. We need to change the sixth author's second affiliation to the third affiliation. Can we make this change directly in the proofs, and is there anyone who can provide guidance? Please help us out. Will making this change result in rejection?

How many reviewers have been found in total?

The longest time is probably half a month, but if everything goes smoothly, the response should come back soon. It mainly depends on the reviewers themselves. Stay patient, best wishes!
