Understanding a proposed schedule of a journal special issue


For my first time I sumitted a manuscript to a journal special issue months ago. The special issue had a proposed schedule as follows:



  • Submission deadline: 1st date

  • Papers reviewed: 2nd date

  • Revised papers reviewed and accepted : 3rd date

  • Notifications to authors: 4th date

  • Publication: Approximate date


A- If it is supposed to send a revision on the (3rd date), does it mean that review comments/scores will be delivered at the (2nd date)? In my case I didn't get review comments even after many days of the (2nd date).


B- The (3th date) mentions "Revised papers reviewed and accepted". Does it mean papers are accepted for granted after the first review round and need only a revision? I thought that usually there are 2 review rounds before final decision.
