The first SCI paper was very friendly. I wrote it in a very average way, without much innovation, but I was still quite happy after it was accepted. I submitted it on February 18, 2025, and it was reviewed quickly. On May 6, 2025, I received feedback from two reviewers, which took 3 months. The first reviewer had 4 comments, which were relatively easy to address. The second reviewer had 6 comments and wanted me to add a comparative experiment. I argued my case and did not add it. I made the revisions and submitted the paper on May 27, 2025. It was accepted on July 3, 2025. Then there were some formatting issues, and I had to pay $2570. Overall, I still feel very good about the experience, although it was a bit expensive.

One week for review.

I have been submitting for three months, and it has always been "Under Review" without changing. Is this status normal?

Is the review process so fast?

Both the first and second reviews can be completed within one week, the biggest advantage is the speed. It's good for emergency use for graduation.

Is the reviewing process of this journal very slow recently?

The reviewers don't seem to know what they want. They recommended several articles for me to read, but it turns out they were all written by the same author. These articles have nothing to do with my work, yet I am required to study and follow them. One reviewer asked strange and irrelevant questions about a basic topic with existing precedents. After submitting the revised manuscript, it was ultimately rejected. It's hard to believe this is an open-access journal. It's been over four months, and I have had to deal with eight different reviewers, each time making changes according to their feedback only to be assigned to a new reviewer.

Brother, after my first round of revisions, they said my paper had risks. The second round of revisions was minor, but the third round has been pending approval for a month now

After the first minor revision, I was told that my paper may be suspected of peer manipulation and needed to be re-evaluated. After the re-evaluation, I was given another minor revision. However, after the second minor revision, the paper entered a pending approval status directly. This status has been ongoing for a month. During this time, I asked the editor, who said it was undergoing quality checks. Has anyone encountered a similar situation, and how much longer will it take to be accepted?

Reviewer's comment: There are some innovative aspects, but it's better to reject it

You are better off rejecting me

Choose according to your workload, mine is too heavy, and reviewers suggest submitting to a different journal

I would like to ask OP, are you still waiting for further instructions? I have been in the AE assigned status for over half a month. Will it take much longer?

Has the problem been resolved? I also encountered this situation recently and I don't know what to do

Looking at the recent events, Hindawi Publishing Corporation is basically in big trouble. They seem unable to handle their normal business at the moment. I submitted an article for minor revisions in December last year, and it has been pending approval for 4 months. During this period, they suddenly claimed there were risks in the peer review process and needed further review. After waiting for 2 more months, it was still pending approval. When I emailed them, they either didn't reply or sent template responses that didn't solve any problems. I promptly withdrew my submission and sent it elsewhere. Open-access journals are so slow and have a bad attitude. I advise against submitting to Hindawi to avoid being in the same situation as authors from the previous batch, who got their articles published but then the journal was removed from SCI without being indexed, which was quite foolish.

Hello, may I ask if this journal has any requirements for article length?

Last November, I also sent this confirmation. You can just reply directly. It's really slow, until now there is still no initial review result, and the editor does not reply to emails. They even changed an academic editor in the meantime, but still no response to emails.

I subscribed to this magazine at the beginning of the month, but received a modification request that says "We would like to receive your confirmation of the final authorship for this manuscript." After replying to the email, it seems like the editor did not receive my message. I have reminded them several times to reply to my email. Has anyone else encountered this situation, friends...
