The editing process is acceptable. However, the reviewers are very slow, dragging on for several months.

3.1 submit
3.2 under review (Both submissions were accepted for review, with one under review until 3.24 and the other until 3.11)
3.24 major revise
3.28 resubmit
3.29 under review (One resubmission completed review on 3.31, while the other is under review until 4.6)
4.6 accept
Overall, everything went smoothly. The editorial process was very fast, and the reviewers were friendly (one seemed to be a junior colleague and was very friendly, while the other was also friendly but asked some challenging questions, which were answered diligently). 
I plan to submit another article in the near future! Wishing everyone all the best!

It has been 2 months and 10 days since the minor revisions were submitted, and it's still under review, which is really dragging on.

In August of the 25th year, I asked for your review, but three reviewers declined. Later, in January of the 26th year, no new reviewers were assigned. I had to call the Elsevier journal manager through the official website for assistance in assigning new reviewers. Yesterday, the editor returned with feedback saying that my journal references were not updated to the 26th year, which made me angry. Why don't you know why I haven't updated? I submitted in the 25th year and you reviewed in the 26th year. Can I update it? If you don't want to review my journal, then don't. I am speechless.

You dragged me for almost a year, only to ultimately reject the submission. Avoid this journal, the editorial process is completely irresponsible.

The specified editing speed is fine, but I find the review speed quite slow, usually taking around 3 months. Is it because the editors are too meticulous or the invited reviewers are not active? It's hard to say. At this rate, there is a possibility of dropping to the third quartile.

Exactly the same, I'm impressed.

I submitted my paper at the end of January, and it has been almost two weeks now and it is still under review. This is the first time I have seen a journal that is so slow.

Have you submitted it for review now? I submitted it at the end of January and it has been two weeks but it is still in the review process.

Made a mistake, it has been five months.

The review has been pending for five months. Is this normal? The query was sent to three reviewers, but none of them accepted.

How come it's been a week and it's still not submitted for review? So slow. I'm in a rush to graduate.

This journal receives a large number of articles in the field of crystalline silicon photovoltaics, and its recognition within the industry is quite good, higher than the impact factor and ranking of IEEE JPV. I started submitting on December 22nd, submitted on the 25th, sent for review approximately a week later, invited 3 reviewers, 1 accepted the review, and the results were shown on January 9th. The reviewers highly appreciated our work, just suggesting to adjust the position of the figures. I plan to make the changes and resubmit next Monday. It took a total of 15 days.

OP, I would like to ask how long it usually takes for the first round of reviews to be returned? I submitted on November 4th and immediately received reviews from 4 reviewers, but as of November 29th, only one has completed the review. The editor sent an email saying they still need to collect additional opinions. How long do you think this will take? Thank you.

Dear experts, after "with editor" it went straight to "Decision in Process," does this mean I am out of luck? ಥ_ಥ
