After submitting the manuscript, it went through the WE stage for 18 days, with a DIP in the middle. I once thought it would be desk rejected, but it was sent for review afterwards. The review process took a month plus a few days, and the minor revisions were given. The overall speed was very fast.

Has the review process lasted for six months? What is the current status?

How are things on your end? My RRC has been 17 days.

I submitted my paper approximately 19 days ago. Some of the review comments have been returned, and it has been in the RRC status for 17 days now, but I have not received any updates yet.

It seems that as long as one reviewer returns the review comments, it is considered as RRC, not waiting for all reviews to be completed.

I am currently in the "Required Reviews Completed" status, and it has been over half a month already. Can you please explain what is going on?

Submitted on July 10, 2025, revised for formatting on July 13, resubmitted on July 16 to WE. Under review from July 28 to July 31 by DIP, resubmitted on August 1 to WE. It has been the same since then, should I follow up on the progress? The peer review comments for the EI submission on July 30 have all been received, but there has been no movement on this one. A colleague submitted to the same journal with a manuscript number 5 digits higher than mine, and theirs was sent for review on August 12, while mine has remained stagnant.

How long has the senior student been urging for? I have been waiting for the external review for a month now, feeling a bit anxious but hesitant to rush it.

Look at the OP below, those who quickly accept changes also quickly adapt.

I have been waiting for three weeks as well, still pending with the editor like you.

It has been a month and a half with the editor, and writing to them only results in receiving a mechanical response for reevaluation. The speed is truly amazing.

Still under review now, the process is extremely slow. Two reminders were sent in between but received only automated responses. Think twice before submitting.

It's been almost 10 months, I followed up once, the response is under review, so I didn't follow up again

Why are all the upstairs ones so fast, and mine, which has been submitted for 16 months, still no news? Every time I ask, the response is still under review

wan18, have you reminded the editor?

(0) 讚！ | pan潘胖2

After reading everyone's comments with a trial-and-error mindset, I fell for it directly. With the editor, there was no response for a month

Hello, it has been two months since submission. Have you been with editor yet? Have you emailed the editor for an update? I submitted mine as well and it has been two weeks with editor

The research content is the synthesis of rare earth materials, and the submission experience is good. Metallurgical journals generally have a low impact factor, and I hope your journal will continue to improve!

It was not until November 12th when it was submitted for review. It took almost five months to submit it, my goodness!
