Although the article has been accepted, this submission was the most frustrating one.
2022/07/27 Submission
2022/07/30 Under review
2022/09/07 Major revision by two reviewers
2022/09/23 Under review again, and the nightmare began. The reviewers finished their review in a week, but the editor went missing. After one month, we had to remind them.
2022/11/04 Minor revision (one word error) Manuscript returned on the same day, but the editor went missing again. So we had to remind them on 2022/11/22. Unexpectedly,
2022/11/24 Major revision The editor unexpectedly reviewed the manuscript again.
2022/11/28 We submitted the revised manuscript and it remained with the editor. We had to remind them on 2022/12/10, and surprisingly,
2022/12/13 Minor revision The editor thought one of the highlights was not significant and requested its removal!!!
In the final submission, it remained with the editor again, and this time we had to remind them after a week.
2022/12/23 Accepted
The editor is Dallas G. Hoover!!! If we didn't remind, nothing would have been done! A very unpleasant submission experience!
