A while ago, it had reached Awaiting AE assignment, then it changed to Awaiting Technical Editor Scores, then it switched back to Awaiting AE assignment, and now it has become Awaiting Technical Editor Scores again. Does anyone know what's going on?

It has been 65 days since the return for rework, and it has been almost a month since awaiting AE recommendation. Is this normal? What should I do?

AI review is also drunk, did it finally give the opportunity to appeal for modification?

Dear netizens, does anyone know what it means when both "Awaiting AE Recommendation" and "Awaiting EE Decision" are present at the same time? (post minor revisions)

How long does it usually take from "Awaiting Technical Editor Selection" to "Awaiting Technical Editor Assignment"? Is Assignment the same as the reviewer reviewing the manuscript?

The minor revisions submitted on 4.13 are still Awaiting Technical Editor Scores. Is it normal for it to take this long? Or are we looking for a new reviewer?

May I ask how many days it took for you at that time? It has been 8 days now and I am also stuck at the third review.

Have you accepted it directly after two major repairs? I have also undergone two major repairs.

May I ask how many more days until the final decision? I have been waiting for the EE decision for a long time, the first two times were very quick.

How long does it take from acceptance to indexing for SPE J?

I received some AI review comments and went through several rounds of major revisions. However, before the last round could be submitted for review, the editor rejected it, claiming that I did not put in enough effort to make revisions. I have appealed and am now waiting for a decision.

Could you please tell me if there are any results now?

After waiting for so long for the decision, I still haven't received any results now.

May I ask how long it took for you to receive the results of your second major repair, and were you ultimately satisfied with them?

Honey-like speed, first submission returned for revision and acceptance after one month, second submission has been over a month and still Awaiting AE Recommendation.

Just received, both the large and small categories have all been divided into three zones, it's difficult to manage.

Is there any movement now? It has been a month for me as well.

Okay, thank you for your response.

My preference is still the previous one. You can think of it as a major revision, because the deadline for major revisions at spej is only one month. The editor thinks that you won't be able to finish it in one month, so you will have to resubmit it.
