Hello, senior, I would like to ask how long is considered normal for a peer review in this journal, and is it certain that the peer review status indicates that it has been sent for review? Is there a possibility of a situation where the peer review takes a long time but the paper is still directly rejected by the editor?

Actually, the review process was relatively fast. I feel that the main issue was that the editor was not very attentive. It took about a month to receive the review comments after the first review was completed. I had to send an email to remind them. The first review mainly focused on language and related issues, which were relatively easy to address. It took about a month to make the revisions. After about 15 days, the status changed to "reviews completed" again. I sent two emails to the handling editor during this waiting period, but received no response. Because I was about to graduate and in a hurry, I submitted the article to the editorial department. They responded immediately and said they would help me. In the afternoon, I received a reply from the handling editor. It seems that I really need to directly contact their boss. When the manuscript came back, I only needed to make some language modifications according to the editor's requirements. I have to admit that the editor was really meticulous. They even made changes to every sentence in my manuscript. They highlighted some parts that were not changed and asked me to modify them myself. But it's funny to see that the date of the editor's modifications was the same day I sent the reminder. Maybe they just forgot about my manuscript. Two emails didn't work. I saw a comment before asking if it's possible to remind the editor. I think it's acceptable to remind them after a certain period of time. The editor will help you and the overall speed will be faster. Finally, I wish everyone success in submitting their manuscripts and I hope the journal continues to thrive!

Hello, I just submitted this magazine. May I ask how long it took for you to come back under review?

The paper took a total of 8-9 months from submission to acceptance, during which it went through one major revision and one final editing.
