Do any of the older brothers and sisters who are reviewing know how long it will take to complete the review?

How long does this journal give reviewers to review? It's been 2 weeks in the hands of the reviewer and there has been no movement.

11.9 gave minor revisions, returned on 12.6, accepted by editor on 12.24, forgot to verify all authors' Orcid credentials in the middle, so it was delayed until January to be officially accepted, proofing was not completed until mid to late January, a total of four and a half months. The reviewers were hard to find but very rigorous, wishing RSI continued success.

Does anyone know why the manuscript was accepted and then returned? I can't find the acceptance letter that was sent before.

Most of the time is spent on finding reviewers.

This well-established journal has strict and professional reviewers, but can be difficult to find (due to rejecting low-quality submissions);
The research field is niche, but the editors are dedicated.
A foundational piece of work, foreign peers are interested, hoping the journal continues to improve.

Submission in June. 
First review result in September: one suggestion for minor revisions, one suggestion to reconsider after modifications. 
After over a month, second review result at the end of October: one with no issues, one stating suspicion of AI in certain paragraphs. 
Rejected. 
AI issue not mentioned in the first review, but used as reason for rejection in the second review. Like.

It's over.... Today the status went directly to: Decision Letter Being Prepared. It was not sent for external review. I guess I need to start preparing for the next one. Sigh.

The status of Associate Editor Review has been stagnant for 10 days with no changes, it's a bit slow....

The journal review process is quite fast, and finding reviewers is also quick. Two reviewers were assigned, one of whom completely did not understand the article and rejected it, while the other suggested minor revisions. The editor directly rejected the article, which is truly speechless. Shouldn't this kind of opinion be sent to a third reviewer? It is really frustrating. Watch out for the Chinese deputy editor with the surname Lu.

We are still waiting for the second reviewer, it has been over ten days.

After more than a month of receiving feedback from the first reviewer, the second reviewer was invited, but they disappeared. After inviting another reviewer for a period of time without any results, the editorial team eventually made a decision based on the feedback from the first reviewer.

Wow, it's been 60 days and I have been rejected by 6 reviewers. I still haven't been able to find a second reviewer.

May I ask how long have you been in peer review? I have been in it for 11 days now.

It's been 12 days since the Associate Editor Review, is this journal so slow?

(0) 讚！ | nvcfb

The comments from the first reviewer have been returned for 3 days, but the second reviewer has not been found yet, causing anxiety.

During the days when you were acting as the deputy editor, it has been a week now, and nothing has changed.

It took 13 days to review, hoping to meet lenient reviewers and lenient editors.

It has been 5 days already, in the same state as you. Remember how things are going now.

The status has been stuck at Associate Editor Review for a week. It used to be reviewed very quickly before. I wonder if it's because there are too many submissions during graduation season.
