I also applied at the end of May, but it hasn't been reviewed yet.

It has been over a month since the editor started working on it. Are there any buddies who submitted their work in May and have started the review process? Should we remind them to speed up the review? It's really too slow.

On the AE homepage, there is only one editor left, and it has been almost a month with the editor.

Newcomers submitting their work can be really anxious. It's been a month and I'm still "with editor," without any information on how to contact the editor. I'm even more afraid that it might not be good to rush the editor. It's just difficult.

Recently, the editing process of AE has been somewhat slow. With the arrival of new editors, there has been an overwhelming number of submissions from domestic authors. I have submitted multiple times and have also served as a reviewer.
The processing speed of the beautiful chief editor is very slow. If it is handed over to other senior editors, the processing will be much faster. That's why some people are quick while others are slow.
Please do not speculate randomly. Being co-chief editors, it is possible that Chinese chief editors are better to some extent.
AE and ECM are already top journals in the field of engineering and energy. To go further, we must focus on materials-related research. Everyone can strive to make breakthroughs in energy materials and break free. The speed of reviewing for materials journals is incredibly fast!

This scholar, I think you should adjust your mindset. When facing the tragedy of the paper, the first thing you should reflect on is whether your own paper needs improvement, rather than using conspiracy to accuse an excellent journal. I am a mechanical doctoral student, specializing in vibration energy harvesting, with no background and no endorsement from influential figures. This is my first submission to APEN.
December 13, 2021, submitted to APEN;
February 4, 2022, received reviewer comments, the editor requested minor revisions (15 days, without specifying major or minor, but considering the timeframe, it can be considered minor revisions);
Early March, received second round of reviewer comments, one reviewer accepted the paper while the other provided three additional questions;
In April, received third round of reviewer comments and the paper was accepted.

Very good journal, the editor is also very good, the reviewers are very professional, and it was accepted after two minor revisions.

Hello, is it clearly stated as "rejected" in your system? If the email only mentions resubmitting after making revisions, it is just a rhetoric used by the journal for the second review, which means you can simply return the revised manuscript as usual. I have encountered a similar situation before (where it wasn't stated as "rejected" in the system).

This journal is really problematic. No wonder my classmates from Tsinghua University say it's a garbage journal that plays favoritism and self-citation. In my experience, after submitting my paper, it stayed in the status of "inviting reviewers" for 2 months (couldn't find reviewers and couldn't withdraw the submission). I had no idea what was going on. Later, I found out that the editor had been neglecting it. After sending two reminder emails, it finally went for review. It took 4 and a half months to receive the first review. The reviewers' comments were mostly positive and neutral, which, based on my experience with this journal, usually means minor revisions. So why was it directly rejected? In the email, they said I could revise and resubmit. Who taught them the habit of rejecting and then asking to resubmit? I don't understand. Also, who is responsible for the review, the reviewers or the editor? If it's the editor, please give the result sooner and don't make people keep reminding you. If it's the reviewers, please respect their opinions. I have two friends who also submitted to this journal and they had a similar absurd experience.

The submission cycle is too long... Submitted on 1.18, changed to "decision in process" on 5.18, it's been a month and still no news. Has anyone encountered this situation before? Does it really take this long to make a decision? Overall, the time is also quite long, 4 months for review, and it seems like it will take another month or more for the decision... If there are a few more rounds of revisions, the entire cycle might end up being 8 months or even 1 year.

Starting this year, Elsevier has added a new service to track the dynamics of reviewers. They will provide you with a link that will show: 1. Editors sending review invitations to several reviewers; 2. The number of reviewers who have accepted the review invitations; 3. The number of reviewers who have completed the reviews.

So nervous, so nervous, hoping for good luck.

Yes... "会的。。。with editor" means that it has not been processed continuously. Only after processing it will we know if it can be submitted for review...
dawei1109 2022-06-08
Hello, I took a look and found that the link in the track leads directly to the submission management.
TaylorSwift 2022-06-08
There is a link for a track.

Hello, I would like to ask where I can see the status of invitation for reviewers.
dawei1109 2022-06-08
It has been more than ten days, will the editor still not review it and directly reject it?
TaylorSwift 2022-06-07
Friend, may I ask how many reviewers are needed for the second review process before it is accepted? After my paper was rejected and resubmitted, I invited 2+ reviewers, but I still haven't received acceptance from the second reviewer.
ray321 2022-06-07
Still with the editor, it's been almost a month. Why is it taking so long?
melo0410 2022-06-07
I have been inviting the reviewer for a month just like the brother upstairs.

5.18 Submission
5.20 With Editor
6.06 With Editor for 16 days now, the last time I submitted, the editor's response was quite fast, why is it so slow recently?
TaylorSwift 2022-06-06
I want to know how many opinions Xiaoxiu gave to the reviewers. I also had my paper rejected and resubmitted, but I have been unable to find a second reviewer. It has been almost a month and I am stuck.

I have been submitting to this magazine for about 7 or 8 years. In recent years, I have submitted very few articles. This time, the review process was very quick, with feedback given within a month, but unfortunately, my submission was rejected.
It is normal to have differences in academic viewpoints, and rejection is expected. However, the review comments this time were truly disappointing. Previous reviewers were very diligent and would provide specific and practical questions, allowing you to see their perspectives on your research problem.
In comparison, the comments this time were lacking. They were all generic and cliché, such as lacking innovation and insufficient analysis. It is evident that they either didn't carefully read or didn't understand the article.
As a self-proclaimed top journal in the field, the editors should directly reject such review comments and not tolerate blind evaluations by reviewers. This will only affect the reputation of the journal.
dawei1109 2022-06-02
Brother, how are you doing behind me? I have been with the editor for a week.
