Many authors are very concerned about the speed of publication when publishing their papers. Generally speaking, the review of papers needs to go through three links. In the paper review, the external review is one of the three links. In order to ensure that the quality of the paper meets the publishing standards, journals and magazines contact experts of corresponding majors to review the paper. Subjects with more professional content have more external comments, such as science and engineering.
Many authors are also asking how long the external review will take. This question can't be answered specifically, because it is related to the efficiency of external reviewers and whether the paper has been rejected and revised many times because of poor content. The external evaluation of papers is strict, and the opinions of external evaluation are also very important for the successful publication of papers. There are two experts in the external review of general papers. If they agree, the editor may not ask other external reviewers. If the two experts disagree, the editor needs to contact another person. Therefore, the personnel of external audit experts have a great relationship with the evaluation results, which is also the reason for the long time of external audit. For most papers, if there are two reviewers, there may be about 20 revisions. If you modify an article every day, you can basically finish it within the specified time. Therefore, after receiving peer review opinions, the author must carefully revise them one by one to show respect for peer review experts.
