Jun 11 2020 Submitted; Jun 13 2020 under review (first review lasted for one month); Jul 8 2020 major revise; Jul 23 2020 revision submitted (revised for half a month, details and many issues were explained in the article, but the reviewer should have not read carefully); Jul 24 2020 with editor; Aug 2 2020 under review (second review lasted for half a month); Aug 16 2020 revise (both reviewers had no problems, and the editor let us edit the language); Aug 23 2020 revision submitted (a week after serious revision, the whole article was revised); Aug 25 2020 completed accept (two days). It lasted for two and a half months (75 days) in total. Generally speaking, it is relatively lucky. As long as there are enough innovations, thorough content analysis, and correct response to reviewers, it can generally be quick. As for the difficulty, it’s not easy to evaluate, because I’m just a master and an academic novice, and it was just my second article. I’m not qualified to say it’s difficult or easy, which can easily be misleading. I personally felt it is moderate. If you think your article is OK, you can try it. After all, I didn't think I could make it at first, and my boss asked me to submit. Declaration: My school is a non-985 or 211 university, the team has no authority in the industry, and we didn’t share the byline with any authorities.

Everyone’s eyes are sharp. As for some comments, it can be seen that they are just abnormal samples, from someone who talk casually, confuse the audience, and were irresponsible! Those guys, please leave the academic circle as soon as possible! First of all, let me declare that there was no author with senior titles for this paper, and we do not have any relationship with the journal. My personal submission experience is as follows: 26 Oct 2018 Completed; 04 May 2020 Accept. The total duration is about 19 months. The first review comments were returned after about 4 months, which is basically the same as IEEE Trans. First a major revision was required (with three reviewers), then a minor revision, and then a major revision (because of a new reviewer was added suddenly), and then a minor revision was required (an additional reviewer was added). Fortunately, this additional reviewer agreed to accept it. The editor-in-chief newly required the language to be improved. After careful polished, it was returned and got accepted in two days Whether the journal is good or not, it is an important reference that who the editor-in-chief is! The editor in chief is responsible for checking the quality of papers! Witold Pedrycz, editor-in-chief of Information Sciences is a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, a member of the Royal Academy of Canada, IFSA Fellow, and IEEE Fellow. In comparison, Sven Dickinson, editor-in-chief of IEEE TPAMI is IAPR Fellow. Haibo He, editor-in-chief of IEEE TNNLS is an IEEE Fellow. It can be seen that the editor-in-chief of Information Science is not bad at all.

The overall evaluation of the article is very strict. The speed of review is still slow.

The graphic summary is usually a combination of images in the article. As for the highlights, I forgot. If it is a required field when submitting, then it must be submitted.

(0) Thank | ZnMNCr

Are graphical abstracts and highlights required in LaTeX? Can a graphical abstract be directly taken from the article's figures?

Submitted for rework on July 8th, we have been waiting until the 31st. Is the summer holiday editor on vacation? The processing is a bit slow.

As far as I know, the review process has been completed. The editor will provide you with the decision after considering the opinions of the reviewers.
