[CVIU/Elsevier] Final minor revision submitted — does AE decide alone or send back to reviewers?
Hi r/academia,
Just submitted R3 to Computer Vision and Image Understanding (CVIU, Elsevier).
This round had only one minor comment from Reviewer 1 — purely a presentation
issue (harmonizing a metric value across sections, no new experiments or content
changes). Reviewer 1 explicitly stated in their comments that the manuscript is
suitable for acceptance after this clarification. Reviewer 2 had no further comments.
Two questions:
- In your experience with CVIU (or similar Elsevier journals), does the AE
typically make the final decision themselves for something this minor, or does
it still go back to the reviewers?
- How long did "Decision in Process" take at this stage before you got the
final outcome?
For context, our previous rounds were:
- R1 (major): ~4-5 days in "Decision in Process"
- R2 (minor): ~8 days in "Decision in Process"
Trying to set realistic expectations. Any experience with CVIU specifically
would be really appreciated!
