I have reviewed a manuscript for this journal once. Overall, the review process is slow, and a paper has to go through several rounds of revisions. There is a certain requirement for the originality of the articles, and the quality of the articles is acceptable. However, due to the large increase in the number of submissions, the reputation has declined somewhat, and I hope it does not become a journal focused solely on making money.

Submitted on August 7, 2024, the article was published on April 15, 2025, with approximately half a month between acceptance and publication, including three rounds of revisions. The first round took a relatively long time, with about four months from submission to assignment of reviewers and receiving the first round of feedback.

2024.12.04 Submitted
2024.12.23 Requested revisions (forgot to delete author information)
2025.1.13 Submitted revisions (corresponding author's email did not receive emails, co-author 1.12 received reminder email to know how to revise, couldn't see what needed to be changed in the system, so just wrote a request for revisions)
2025.1.14 Technical review passed (hence technical review is usually 20 days from 12.04-12.23)
2025.1.14 Accepted
2025.1.26 First reviewers invited (10 invited in the first round, 4 accepted to review)
2025.1.27 Reviewers accepted
2025.2.3 Reviewer reports received (after receiving 4 review reports in the first round, more invitations were sent, apparently some reviewers suggested rejection, and 5 more accepted to review)
2025.4.2 Revision requested (9 accepted to review, 8 provided feedback, editor deemed it sufficient and gave 14 days for revisions)
2025.4.2 Started revisions, indeed some reviewers suggested rejection, on 2nd, a clear rejection was proposed, 5th-8th also had inclinations towards rejection, editor's summary is 5 wanted revisions, 3 suggested rejection.
2025.4.13 Revised, current outcome unknown, hoping for acceptance, it's okay to take it slow.

Too slow, too slow, feeling anxious waiting.

Have any of your articles been moving recently? Why is there no response when I resubmit my article for the second time? Is there a problem with the journal? The editor is unresponsive, which is different from before.

One article has been accepted, one is under review, and two articles are being reviewed for this journal. The journal is excellent, but the review process may be slightly longer if luck is not on your side. Therefore, I am quite familiar with this journal and have some experience. Colleagues who are interested in submitting to this journal are welcome to collaborate with me.

There are two reviewers in total, but one of them disappeared during the second review (I feel...). I don't know when the editor will handle it, it has been 5 months since submission....so slow, so slow.

Is it that slow? But he only gave 10 days for review.

Submitted in early May, accepted in early November. It took nearly three months to find all the reviewers, but once they were all gathered, the process went smoothly.

It has been almost three months since I submitted my manuscript, it was listed as Manuscript Under Consideration in July, but there have been no updates since then. I'm wondering what's going on.

Excuse me, does "under consideration" mean it has been submitted for review? How long does the external review process usually take? Is it true that under Naturan it's about a month for a decision to be made?

Hello, may I ask how long this "under consideration" status will last before we can expect the next status?

Hello, how long does the "under consideration" status typically last before moving on to the next stage?

(0) Thank | sri643

The first two Manuscripts Under Consideration were not sent for external review and remained in the hands of the editor.

The submission has been quiet for a long time, almost 2 months, and it was returned for formatting changes. Submitting is quite troublesome. 
At the same time, finding an editor in this field is time-consuming. It took almost five months to receive three opinions, which were quite professional and challenging. 
The editor decided to return the manuscript for revisions and resubmission. 
I am still considering whether to resubmit. Overall, it is very time-consuming. It feels like a waste of time.
