Verified Reviews
In mid-April 23, received comments from the external review, the editor provided minor revisions and a provisional acceptance of "Accept but incomplete".
The overall opinions of the two reviewers were positive, with one suggesting adjusting the order of the concluding paragraphs and the other recommending adding a discussion of the literature.
During the process of revising the article, inquiries were sent to the editor regarding unclear issues, and quick responses were received. Finally, it was officially accepted on April 24.
The journal editor is serious, responsible, and highly efficient. Highly recommended!
Originally, it could have been published in May, but during that time, the journal office mistakenly got my email address wrong, and I didn't receive the manuscript link for over a month.
Later, I proactively contacted the editorial office to resolve the issue.
The response was still quite fast, and I was able to receive timely replies from the editorial office.
