Verified Reviews

Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.

The journal is a good journal, but it is just too slow. I hope they can improve the speed of manuscript handling in the future. It can be said that the submission system of this journal has accompanied me from 2020 all the way to 2022...

December 2020: Submitted
February 2021: Rejected with encouragement to resubmit
March 7, 2021: Submitted again (with editor status took three months to start reviewing, not sure why, because the processing speed was quite fast for the submission at the end of December 2020...)
August 13, 2021: Major revision
September 30, 2021: Submitted (originally given one month for revisions, but the amount of revisions was quite significant, so I applied for an extension of one month)
December 1, 2021: Major revision
December 7, 2021: Submitted
January 21, 2022: Accepted

Sorry, I just saw the message. After the first review, it usually takes 1 to 2 months to receive the review comments. The editor may have a large workload in handling manuscripts, so each step requires a long wait. Generally, the rejection rate for submission is low. Please be patient and keep up the good work. > <
