It took nearly half a year. Initially, it was difficult to find reviewers, and more than 20 were approached, but only two agreed to review. As a result, a third reviewer was found by the second editor and the decision was made, leading to another round. However, the final outcome was positive, thanks to the editor and reviewers!

This article is my first SCI publication, and it is quite innovative. It is important to submit to reputable journals as the editors truly value innovation. Of course, there are cases where experiments may not be highly innovative, but good writing skills compensate for it. However, innovation is essential. The peer review process is also a matter of luck. Initially, I would have received reviewer comments quickly, but the second reviewer disappeared, so I had to wait and find another one. It's important to have the right mindset because submitting articles can have both good and bad luck!
