I received the submission a few hours ago. My supervisor believes that this journal has a high level of water in the publication process, so I advise caution in submitting here! The manuscript has already been transferred to a second-tier journal at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is currently in the minor revision stage. For those who are interested in submitting, I suggest transferring to another journal! We carefully select papers for peer-review based upon the usual criteria for publication in scholarly journals, such as the appropriateness, novelty, and general significance. The paper is not suitable for this journal, and our initial editor decision does not necessarily reflect the quality of your research. Thank you very much for your contributions to CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua.
