Overall, this journal has a relatively low difficulty for submission and is sponsored by Curtin University in Australia. The time from submission to publication is relatively short, but the external review process is lengthy. Once the review is passed, the subsequent process is very fast. I would like to express special thanks to Dr. Hongmei Yao, who is likely a Chinese woman. I sent two reminder emails during the process, and she always responded promptly and patiently answered questions. The only slight drawback is that the journal has a relatively low annual publication volume, so it takes at least three months from acceptance to publication with a volume number. If you want to quickly obtain a volume number, please consider carefully before submitting.

In general, the difficulty of submitting to this journal is not high, but it requires innovation. Dr. Yao Hong Mei, the editor, is very prompt in handling the submission and is easy to communicate with. She is a good editor. I hope the impact factor continues to rise and wish this journal continued success.
