After the revisions are requested, does it go directly to minor revisions once it becomes "awaiting reviewer invitation," or are there other changes in between? My manuscript has been in "awaiting reviewer invitation" for a long time after revisions were requested.

After receiving the response to the first review, it first showed "awaiting reviewer assignment", and then 10 days later it changed to "awaiting reviewer invitation". Does this mean that the reviewer for the first review has left?

Hello, may I ask if the confidentiality review statement was sent to you by the editor, or did you download it from the official website yourself?

Received the email as well, previously only needed to submit after being hired, not sure why they submitted before sending for external review, really worried that it will take a lot of effort but still won't be sent for review. ?

After no classmates submitted the paper, we have to submit a confidentiality review certificate for the paper submission. We didn't need to do this before, what is going on, guys!

I have always been inclined to speculate on the quality of editors with the worst malicious intent, but I did not expect it to be so low. The character of the editor cannot withstand scrutiny in the end.

This journal is indeed very trashy. Without even looking at the content, one can tell that the editorial level and quality are extremely low just by looking at the background.

The most mediocre and unfair metallurgical journal in the industry.
