It took about 12 months from submission to the first round of feedback. 
After revising the manuscript according to the initial feedback, it only took 2 months to finally get accepted. 
It's hard to say whether this is high or low efficiency. 
The reviewers' feedback was quite harsh, perhaps because they are from the same industry.

Can I ask everyone for some advice? I want to follow up on a submission, so I'm wondering which editor would be best to email.

Hello, may I ask to which journal in Zone 2 did you submit after withdrawing the manuscript? Was it accepted so quickly?

(0) 讚！ | 接accept

After withdrawing and revising the manuscript, it has been submitted to another journal in the second tier. It is recommended to consider submitting to this journal if you have the time. It will definitely take about half a year to get accepted. If you don't have time, you should hurry up and move on.

One reviewer did a major revision, and another one was invited by the editor for a month, but then withdrew the submission.

The submission process took five months, with one major revision and one minor revision. Luckily, both the editor and reviewers were efficient!

Submitted on January 29, 2023, accepted on August 6, 2025, a bit slow. However, the comments provided by the reviewers are valuable and will be helpful for the next steps.

It seems like I have to push for it. I pushed a bit, and it became 006, but still no one is reviewing the manuscript. Could it be because the reviewers are all on vacation now, or maybe the invited reviewers are not a good match for the article so they are not accepting it? Oh, the slow progress is frustrating.

When the journal enters the UR stage, the corresponding author will receive an email reminder, which includes a webpage link and a way to check the progress through the Green Bubble service number.

I have pushed for the manuscript, reminding once on June 18th, it entered the UR stage on June 20th, but so far no one has received an invitation for peer review, which is quite disappointing.

How long did the major repair last?

Have you urged the editor to find reviewers, buddy? I have been 0-0-3 since May until now. I reminded them a few days ago but I don't know if they will send out more invitations. I suspect this editor only goes online once every six months and hides the rest of the time.

Hello, how can I see the number of reviewers? I can't see it in the system after submitting for review.

(0) 讚！ | Solaris511

Is it the decision of this reviewer to reject the submission, or is it because there are not enough reviewers?

This is ridiculous, bro. How long does it take for him to review a manuscript? I have been waiting for almost two months and the status has not changed at all. I have been urging them to find reviewers, but they have not sent out any invitations. Are the reviewers they are waiting for never going to accept? Is this journal run by sloths?
