Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
Almost collapsed, it has been a year since I submitted, and after the first review, it was rejected in early June (this took less than 5 months). They suggested revisions and resubmission, and I obediently did so. After English proofreading, I resubmitted it on August 26th, and it took two months for the first review. The review comments were exactly the same as the previous rejection. On December 21st, the second review came out. One reviewer approved it, but the other reviewer found the Greek abbreviation to be non-standard and said that "in" should be "of" in the text. The editor strongly recommended proofreading. This time, I used the proofreading service they recommended, which cost 1689 RMB for 5900 words (they offered a 15% discount for the ongoing promotion). They requested it to be submitted before January 10th. Please wait for my update, if it gets rejected, I will say goodbye to the world...
