Review is very slow. I submitted in March, under review in mid-April, then five months no changes in the status. After the status had stayed in under review for more than three months, I wrote a letter to the editor and did not get any reply. After that, I wrote two more emails and the editor informed me that the paper was under review.......Submit with cautious if you need the paper published soon.

The external audit is too slow. It has been five months and it still hasn't been completed. After urging them, they informed me that they would handle it as soon as possible. However, it is still under review now. It's really frustrating.

The introduction should outline the difficulties you want to address and the questions you want to answer, summarizing existing research and gaps in knowledge

Introduction is considered the state of knowledge before your research, while conclusion is the state of knowledge after your research

Submitted on May 3, 2017, accepted on December 12, 2017, minor revisions were requested in October, and were well done. However, due to personal reasons, there was a delay of two months, otherwise it would have been accepted in October. Overall, considering the short time frame for this journal, it can be considered reasonable. Journals in India are relatively slower

Experience sharing: Just got one accepted, it was really slow, took almost a year from submission to acceptance. Initially, the submission wasn't processed for about a month, no response after emailing two chief editors, so had to write to the Springer staff to explain the situation, then the article was under review. Then it was a long wait, about half a year later, wrote to the editor to inquire about the status, the editor replied saying that feedback from 3 reviewers had been received, waiting for the fourth one, if the fourth reviewer doesn't respond soon, a decision will be made based on the 3 opinions. About 2 weeks later, finally received comments for major revisions. Reviewers 1 and 3 were very thorough, made modifications to the manuscript and provided constructive feedback, reviewer 2 didn't provide specific opinions, just mentioned lack of innovation in the article. Frustrating, if my article didn't have innovation, I wouldn't submit to a journal with a rating of under 1.0. Following the reviewers' feedback, made revisions for about 2 weeks, the responses were about 20 pages long, even provided detailed explanations for issues that didn't need modification. After resubmission, back to under review status, about 3 weeks later, another round of revisions, the editor sent the article back to the original reviewers, the first reviewer had 2 minor questions, easily resolved. The second reviewer questioned the data processing method, pointed out missing important literature, and attached an article, after reading it, realized it was his own work, speculated that this reviewer was Japanese, likely a peer who felt upset for not citing his work. Found his article on ResearchGate, cited 4 relevant articles. After resubmission, back to under review status, accepted 2 weeks later. This article was really quite a journey, won't dare submit to Indian journals in the future, the article itself was not very innovative, lacking molecular content, limited options for journals. This journal is still very rigorous, just the efficiency is too low, with plenty of submissions now, the editor mentioned a rejection rate exceeding 70%

Sharing experience: Submitted in March, withdrew in October, it's really too slow, under review status lasted for six months, reminding several times in between was futile, sigh

Review Speed: 6.0
Experience Sharing: It is really very, very slow. Submitted in early March, under review in mid-April, and then no news for five months. Reminded the editor three times during this period, and the reply was: "Your manuscript is under review. We will keep a track of your MS status and revert back to you as soon as the review is completed. Please be assured there will be no more delay."

Experience Sharing: The review speed is very slow. I submitted my paper in March and it was under review in mid-April. However, the status remained unchanged for five months. I sent a reminder email after three months of being under review but did not receive a reply. I sent two more emails inquiring about the status, and the editor informed me that it is still under review. Please be cautious if you are in a hurry
