The initial distribution of editing tasks was indeed too slow, taking almost a month to reach the editors. However, the editing speed was very fast after that. The first review took about 20 days for major revisions, and after the second review, it was directly accepted.

How are you doing now? It's been almost a week since I started 1-3-9, and almost two weeks since your stage.

Hello, are you currently with the editor?

Thanks to Elizabeth's editing, the response speed was very fast after communicating with the Elsevier customer service, which caught up with the graduation deadline.

Senior, why is the article I submitted on March 16th still being submitted to the journal today, even though we are heading in the same direction?

(0) 讚！ | sciyiqu

Submission of the manuscript on 21st December 2025.
Editing feedback received on 24th December 2025, requesting modifications with the article word count not exceeding 5000, and submission of an abstract figure.
Resubmission of the manuscript on 26th December 2025.
Major revision feedback received on 18th February 2026, with feedback from two reviewers providing a total of 13 suggestions, all of which were constructive and included requirements for more experiments. The deadline for major revision was set for 19th March 2026.
Return of major revision feedback on 17th March 2026.
Reviewer 1 completed the review on 20th March 2026, but Reviewer 2 had not started the review for a long time.
Editor sent a reminder to Reviewer 2 on 1st April 2026, but the review was still pending.
Second reminder sent on 10th April 2026.
Reviewer 2 started and completed the review on the same day, entering the RRC status on 12th April 2026.
Acceptance on 15th April 2026.
The editorial efficiency was satisfactory, with delays due to the Christmas and Easter holidays. There was also a delay in one instance, which required contacting the Elsevier customer service for assistance. The journal in the field of sensors is stable and influential in Zone 1, but if in a hurry to graduate, the timeline needs to be considered.

Submitted on 3.16, and still in STJ, so slow.

Slow, too slow. And it was already marked as complete on the official account, how come it can be changed to "with editor" again after a while?
