I really can't stand it anymore, it's too slow. The feedback is very professional and serious. On the second revision, there was only one comment on July 22nd, which was not accepted for a month. I sent an email and the reviewer finally accepted it. But now there has been no news.

Brother, have you received the package yet? It's been over 50 days since I sent it and I haven't heard anything.

Submitted on April 8th, major revisions in mid-June, returned for major revisions on July 16th, still under review as of August 26th. Couldn't help but urge yesterday to see if there would be any news in the next few days. It's okay if it's rejected, I can't wait any longer. The editor also made irrelevant comments during the major revision, asking me to test the distribution of oxygen and hydrogen elements...

Submitted to 9 reviewers, initially accepted 1, then accepted 3. 2 reviews have been completed. Now it's time for RRC. Fellow researchers, have you encountered a similar situation? Does it seem like a long shot? The editor has not yet compiled the reviewers' comments.

Hello, after this submission is completed, does it require all authors to agree on the editing before it can be reviewed?

In the field of metal corrosion and protection, the editorial process is very efficient, and the three reviewers are also very quick. The review comments were provided within 3 days of submission, with a total of 22 comments. The reviewers' suggestions were very professional and after making the revisions, the quality of the article significantly improved. This has been the fastest review process since submission, and I hope to return to the second tier journal this year.

Can the anti-corrosion coating on the surface of metal materials be promoted in this journal? Can anyone provide some information about it?

Have you found any relevant literature on the work function of your sample, or is there already information on your sample in the documents provided by the editor?

I also want to ask how to explain and calculate the C 1s of this XPS, the work function is confusing.

Classmate, may I ask what direction you are in? You shouldn't be this slow, according to reason.

How long does it take for the review after the major revision? It has been almost a month since my major revision and the review is still ongoing.
