Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
The submission was rejected twice. The first time was due to formatting issues and a requirement to upload the WB original strip. The second time was because of grayscale scanning problems. After communicating with the editor-in-chief and following their advice, the submission was successful on the third attempt. Two months after submission, the manuscript was returned with two minor revisions. After making the revisions, the editor-in-chief was unsatisfied with one of the answers given and requested further revisions. After the third round of revisions, the manuscript was accepted. The submission was made on February 28th, and it was accepted on June 9th. The online publication date was June 20th. The editor-in-chief was very meticulous and friendly, and the processing speed was fast. However, it is regrettable that the rating dropped below 3 immediately after acceptance.

The impact factor is not very high, and it is only in the third quartile. However, the reviewers and editors are very rigorous, and they raise professional questions without intentionally making things difficult. To be honest, the article has shown significant improvement after revision. The process is also very fast, so graduating students can give it a try.
