This requires attention, as this comment indicates - it is a rejection and encourages resubmission, giving a two-month revision time. Usually, this type of revision is difficult because it may involve fundamental issues, which we often refer to as major flaws. It could be a need to change the analysis method fundamentally or a problem with material selection, among others. Therefore, if we receive this editorial comment, we need to carefully examine the reviewer's opinions.

In conclusion, this journal is a very good longstanding publication, and we hope it continues to improve!

The final recommendation is to reject the manuscript and request resubmission.

北山以北花满山 2021-06-29

Dear XXX,
The reviewers have provided feedback on your paper above. They have stated that it is currently not suitable for publication in its current form.
However, if you believe that you can adequately address the reviewers' comments (included below), I encourage you to revise and resubmit your manuscript by XXX (date), XXX (year).
Please carefully address the concerns raised in the comments.
When you receive an email with editorial comments like this, congratulations! This is not a rejection, but rather a major revision request. If you make the necessary changes, there should be no problem. This is just a standard email with fixed wording. I have received similar messages for both of my articles, with only the dates changed but everything else remaining the same.

It is worth mentioning that this journal has a distinctive feature in finding reviewers. They often find reviewers who are very professional and knowledgeable in the relevant field, even experts like you! I suspect that the editor selects reviewers by referring to their published articles. Reviewers usually refute the issues in your article by citing articles from renowned experts in the field and suggest that you cite these articles as well :)

Additionally, there may be no minor revisions for this issue. Both reviewers' comments on my first submission were positive, but they did provide a few suggestions for minor revisions. However, the final decision was major revisions. Currently, the average time for major revisions is 20 days.

This submission indeed achieved the ultra-fast review level of 2.5 weeks for the initial review, as stated by the journal. Especially in the current situation of severe overseas epidemic, such speed in the review process is highly commendable! The journal first focuses on the article's format, language proficiency, and image quality. Before submitting, it is important to pay attention to a few points: the journal requires a line spacing of 1.5, text alignment should be left-aligned instead of justified, and it is recommended to use **'s proofreading services for language refinement.

Furthermore, the journal seeks multiple reviewers, generally more than 2, and sends out invitation letters to these experts for review. The number of experts who accept the review will determine the number of opinions received for reference. However, a minimum of two expert reviews is required for the completion of the requested review opinions. In my first article, there were two review opinions, while this article has three. It is essential to carefully address each review opinion and highlight the modifications in the revised text using red font.

I have been submitting for three months and have been in contact with the editor all along. I have sent several emails but no one replied. In the last email, they mentioned that the repetition rate was a bit high and decided to reject it directly. If they wanted to reject it, they could have done it more promptly...

Carpenterchan 2021-05-01

Finally finished recording! It took a whole month, and I had to switch editors four times in the process.

弈承 2021-04-27

May I ask how long your with editor will take?

木易1 2021-04-21

This journal receives a large number of submissions, and each editor typically has hundreds of papers waiting for review. The review process takes about 2 months after submission, and after the review, it takes another 2 months for revisions. It has been almost a month since the revisions were requested, and there is still no news. The following is the editor's response after two reminders. Friends who submit to this journal should be prepared for a long battle of at least 5 months or even half a year.

"I review revisions in the order I receive them. I read each one of them, so it takes me an average of 20 minutes, sometimes up to an hour. It takes me 4-6 weeks to get to a paper, as I always have about 100 articles in various stages of editing at all times."

lgogo888 2021-04-14

I don't know why, it has been a month since submission, but it is still "with editor".

小跟班 2021-04-11

Just asking everyone, has this journal always had an editor?

zhichen 2021-04-08

It took 7 months, although the speed was a bit slow, but the editor's attitude was still very good, and they replied to every email.
The article was reviewed twice and modified three times.
Finally, it was accepted.

Carpenterchan 2021-03-10

Submitted, it has been 14 days since then, changed 3 editors, still with editor, unaware of the outcome.

Han Zhang 2021-03-08

Hello, am I in the same situation as you? Are we being reviewed again now?

Han Zhang 2021-03-08

Hello, may I ask if there is any latest progress on your article now?

Same. M.B. edit it!!!

木易1 2021-01-27

The editor assigned to me is an editor from the United States, who strongly suspects that COVID-19 deaths have occurred.

木易1 2021-01-27

The editor of this journal is really extremely irresponsible. They have sent out twenty to thirty withdrawal requests via email, but haven't replied to any of them.

pylau 2021-01-25

The plagiarism check did not pass. I asked the editor for the plagiarism check report. Will they provide it?

观天澜 2021-01-25

I am also two months old and don't move at all.

木易1 2021-01-21

It has been 2 months since submission, and there has been no review or rejection. Is the editor so busy? I have sent 10 emails without any reply. I will not submit to this journal in the future.
