In fact, the reviewers did not delay any time, and the time was wasted on finding the reviewers, dealing with the comments, and addressing the comments. It took almost two months until I received the comments.

My first article, about a material indoor experiment plus a little characterization. The information was transparent, there were schedule reminders when the reviewers accepted the review or the comments came back. The review speed was very fast, and it took about 1 month from acceptance to online.

I didn’t want to complaint but I was really speechless. I hope everyone will not be cheated. It took half a year. There were a minor revision and a major revision. It was rejected after revision. I am speechless.

The editing is great, but it took a lot of time to find reviewers.

Submitted in mid-May last year.
Received feedback in early August, with minor and major revisions.
Submitted revised manuscript in mid-August, and then no news.
Repeatedly followed up, and the editor always replied politely, but we don't know why the reviewer did not review it, causing a delay of six months.
Accepted in early March this year.
Now the journal has become fully open access, with requirements for submission format and self-citation rate.
