Verified Reviews

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

Submitted on June 30th, major revisions on October 5th, submitted again on the 14th, minor revisions on November 16th, and finally accepted on December 7th. There was only one reviewer, who had a particularly good attitude and even provided suggestions for improving the abstract. The only downside was that the process was too slow.
