I believe most of you doing PhD or MPhil here had published in some journals or going to publish in the near future. 
Since the trend nowadays is "publish before viva voce/publish before you can graduate", I have a few questions that I'm interested to know about:
1) how long does it take for your paper to be accepted into a journal?
2) normally what kinds of questions does the reviewer brought up?
3) when do you start writing a paper? After data collection? In the middle of your enrollment? Beginning of your enrollment?
Thanks for sharing
1) It depends on a lot of factors. Could take months or even up to a year! But normally, the reviewers would get back to you with their comments one to three months following first submission (if it does pass the editorial stage).

2) Data validation (more experiments). Reasons for doing/choosing so and so (if it's not clearly stated). Redundancy (over-lapping in the results and discussions).
3) Just like writing a thesis, one should keep writing as one progresses. But I doubt many do that. The next ideal way would be to start writing once you have (or going to have) enough data.
PS: Science-based
