OP, can you share with me if there are any other journals that I can switch to?

后撤不走步 2021-12-08

It should have gone to arbitration. The major revisions have been under review for about 3 weeks, and then it took an additional 2 weeks for the decision to be made. Today, it changed to the "Awaiting Reviewer Assignment" status, so it seems they are looking for another reviewer to make a judgment. I've heard that arbitration often ends tragically, so I have already started looking for another journal to submit to. T﹏T

Mm, thank you, Big Bro. I received the acceptance email today, finally no longer need to worry and be afraid.

I have experienced the fastest afternoon of minor repairs, usually not exceeding three days. The minor repairs are almost accepted, patiently waiting.

Ann029 2021-12-05

Uncertain, but also with good outcomes, good luck.

后撤不走步 2021-12-05

Thank you so much. It seems that I have more bad luck than good. By the way, may I ask, for a rejected paper, are there any other suitable short-term journals or letters that I can submit to?

Ann029 2021-12-05

Looking at the last feedback received, the opinions of the fourth reviewer on the two articles I previously rejected were not good.

后撤不走步 2021-12-05

Does the criticism you mentioned mean that it will be directly rejected in the end, or will there still be an opportunity for revision? I always feel like mine won't be good enough.

阿白 2021-12-04

Boss, how long have you guys been using the minor repairs? I submitted it two weeks ago and it's still under review now.

Ann029 2021-12-04

There should be results soon. The letter is still quite fast. I have also been arbitrated before, and both times the opinions were not good.

后撤不走步 2021-12-04

Oh, thank you so much! May I ask, how much longer should I wait in this situation? Should I not need to remind you? To be honest, I don't have much confidence in this article either.

Ann029 2021-12-03

Waiting for a decision for more than 10 days is a bit abnormal. Normally, results are given within 1-3 days. It seems like your case might have gone into arbitration, so you might need to find another reviewer.

后撤不走步 2021-12-03

Excuse me, I would like to ask all the experts here, is it normal for me to be in the "awaiting decision" status for more than 10 days? Does the duration of time have any relation to the rejection rate?

tanfuren 2021-11-26

May I ask how long it usually takes for the editing decision? It has been a week for me and there is still no result...

阿白 2021-11-24

Hello, boss. I would like to ask, after submitting a minor revision, will the status "awaiting reviewer assignment" still appear?

2021.8.28 Submission
9.28 Rejection and Resubmission
11.6 Minor Revision
11.12 Acceptance
The overall process was fast, and it was relatively easy to publish content with certain level of innovation.

guaier 2021-10-14

The speed is fast, there are four reviewers, and they are all satisfied after the revision. High requirements for innovation.

2021-7-9 submitted
2021-8-8 Reject (Resubmission Allowed)
2021-8-26 resubmission
2021-9-17 Minor Revision Required
2021-9-24 resubmission
2021-10-2 Accept
Two reviewers, about 10 comments from the first review, none of them were very sharp, most of them were asking for clarification on the rationale of some assumptions in the paper. After making revisions, the second review only required minor adjustments. One reviewer asked for the addition of complexity analysis, while the other asked for a citation to their article. After resubmitting, the results were received a few days later.
It seems that the complexity requirements for the paper in the CL (Conference/ Journal abbreviation) are not high, as long as the innovation is clear and the writing logic is clear. Due to space limitations, many contents can only be briefly described in a few sentences.

May I ask, what is the difference or impact between single-blind and double-blind? Which method do you use? Does it affect the review process? Thank you!

Post on 2021-7-29
Received the first round of reviews on 2021-8-25 (reject-resubmission allowed)
There were a total of four reviewers, with the first three questioning the rationality and novelty of the paper's system model. They provided a full page of comments and had high expectations for grammar. The last reviewer did not provide any comments. I am preparing to make substantial revisions.
Also, I would like to ask the experienced researchers here, what is the likelihood of successfully resubmitting to this journal after making significant improvements? This time, due to certain reasons, I rushed the preparation of the submission, and there are many technical and grammatical issues in the paper. The reviewers have provided many comments, and I am unsure if the chances of acceptance are high after making major revisions.

Hello, may I ask if it is possible to add references when uploading the final draft?

Hello, may I ask if it is possible to add references when uploading the final manuscript of IEEE CL journal? Thank you.

The journal is very efficient, notifying the results one month after submission. Rejection allows for resubmission, which is equivalent to major revisions. After resubmission, the results were returned in 9 days, indicating minor revisions. Among the three reviewers, only one reviewer had comments, and this reviewer seemed a bit troublesome.
After revising again, the editor did not send it to the reviewer, but reviewed it themselves (praising the editor for being nice) and pointed out two grammar issues for minor revisions.
A few hours after the second round of minor revisions was returned, an acceptance notice was received.
Finally, I wish CL (the journal) continued success.

Last year, I submitted an article during the epidemic, and it was rejected but accepted after resubmission. Both rounds of reviews took a standard one month to receive the results.

On April 15th this year, I submitted another article, and on May 16th, I received a rejection and was asked to resubmit. There were three reviewers, with two having almost no comments and one raising 10 relatively minor issues. I made the revisions and returned them on May 30th, and it was directly accepted on June 20th. Today, I just submitted the final LaTeX typesetting and copyright agreement. The first four pages are free, while the fifth page costs $220.

The previously mentioned "free within 4 pages, $220 for 5 pages" refers to the page charge for accepted papers.

看不懂写不懂 2021-06-16

The speed is really fast, with a cycle of 15 to 30 days, mostly within this range. Writing in English should be faster if done well. The difficulty doesn't seem small either, depending on the research direction and content. IEEE Letters are really popular, especially for us master's students. They have great impact, really impressive.

After being rejected and resubmitted twice, it was directly accepted for publication. The revisions mostly focused on grammar errors. It is said that some papers were only accepted after being resubmitted three times.

Just make sure to revise well if given the chance to resubmit. You can use free websites like Grammarly to check for English grammar errors. Up to 4 pages are free, while 5 pages cost $220.

There were a total of three reviewers. The comments from the first three reviewers were all positive, and they all recognized the innovation. The Associate Editor (AE) also provided some suggestions. However, we encountered an annoying reviewer 2. Initially, we thought we could directly accept the paper after making the necessary revisions. However, reviewer 2 was not satisfied with the responses to the AE's questions and asked for further clarification, as well as raising an unrelated question. The other two reviewers indicated acceptance. Therefore, the AE requested minor revisions this time. Even after addressing the concerns, reviewer 2 remained dissatisfied and raised the same questions as before, as well as two additional unrelated questions. The AE did not adopt reviewer 2's opinions this time and accepted the paper directly. Some reviewers can be really annoying and seem to intentionally make things difficult!
