JOURNAL OF DRUG DELIVERY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

One round of peer review took 35 days, and all four reviewers accepted the revised manuscript. A total of 21 issues were identified, and the editor requested major revisions, including the addition of some cell experiments. The revised manuscript was submitted one month later for a second round of peer review, which lasted three weeks. Because the reviewers' comments were all addressed as requested, the manuscript was accepted without further revisions. However, the editor found some language issues and recommended the use of a proofreading service. The manuscript was returned one week later. The submission was made on September 1, 2021, and the acceptance was received on December 20, 2021. The publication was released on December 24. The entire process lasted for three months and 20 days.

I initially submitted once, but due to various reasons such as language barrier, it was rejected. Later, I made some improvements and submitted again. After a month, I received review comments from two reviewers. One had 21 suggestions, while the other had 5. It took me 2 months to revise the manuscript, and it was accepted after 3 days of resubmission. Overall, the speed was quite fast. Although I was slow in making revisions for 2 months, the results were still satisfying. Finally, I managed to submit it and can graduate now.
