The submission was made on June 12th, and the editor quickly acknowledged it. Then it was sent for review, with a total of three reviewers. The first reviewer promptly responded with their opinions and agreed to publish it. The second reviewer took around two weeks to provide feedback and allowed ten days for revisions. The forum responses were timely and the suggestions given were constructive. Finally, the third reviewer presented their opinions and agreed to publish. After all three reviewers agreed, the editor provided further revision suggestions, which were made and accepted. The process from submission to acceptance took approximately 1.5 months, which was quite fast.

Submit to acceptance within 2-3 months, with 2 rounds of revisions. The first round of revisions is moderate, while the second round is minor. Each round allows for 10 days, with the option to request an extension. If we rush, as long as our response is prompt (our first response took a full 10 days, while the second round of minor revisions took 1 day), the reviewers and editors reply promptly, sometimes within 2-3 days, although it could also be due to good luck. The reviewer's comments are also fair and constructive, not simply rejecting the paper with a single comment about lack of innovation, but rather providing thoughtful suggestions for improvement, making the research more rigorous and suitable for publication, similar to the suggestions made during internal meetings. When we first submitted, we carefully selected recommended reviewers, not necessarily well-known experts, as they are usually busy and might ignore such emails. Instead, we chose reviewers who have published extensively on our research topic and are more relevant as first authors or corresponding authors. However, the editor did not use our recommendations and chose reviewers independently. In conclusion, when submitting a paper, try to fill in all the optional fields with sincerity.

I submitted my article in March, made two revisions in June and July, but I haven't received any response from the editor even after sending emails. I have changed editors three times already. Is there a contact phone number where I can inquire about this?
