Hello, may I ask if the editor explicitly mentioned the need to provide a plagiarism report during your last minor revision? This time, the editor only asked me to declare that there are no similar articles under review or published in other journals. Do I still need to provide a plagiarism report in this situation?

The submission requirements are single-column, so please stick to single-column format. However, this is not the most important aspect. What is crucial is that the paper must be innovative.

Bro, the submission guidelines require a single column format, but all the published articles are in double column. Can I use a double column Latex template instead?

Same question, the submission guidelines require single columns, but all the publications are in double columns. Can I use double columns?

(0) Thank | alice_lcw

Could you please clarify whether the initial draft for submission to this journal is single-column or double-column format? I noticed that the author guidelines specify single-column format, but the latest published issues are all in double-column format.

From January 23rd to March 25th in the year 25,
a total of 26 months,
only received one round of feedback,
still Under review.
I am now in a dilemma,
not sure how to handle it,
it seems endless.
The review speed of this journal is highly uncertain,
and there are also many required reviewers.
For those who rely on it for graduation, it is advised to write another article for a different journal,
for those in a hurry to graduate, it is advised to submit cautiously!

Process the day after normal RRC.

(0) Thank | dfg666

Following my previous comment, the status has been updated to Required Reviews Completed. However, strangely enough, the status did not change to Decision in Process. The next day, the status changed back to Under Review. Can anyone explain the reason for this phenomenon?

Friendly reminder, for those who are in a hurry to graduate, please submit your work carefully!

(0) Thank | dfg666

I have written many reminders, but it's no use. I'm afraid that if I write too frequently, they will just reject it.

(0) Thank | dfg666

It has been more than ten days since the third review of the RRC, is this normal? How long will it take to process, the first and second reviews were quite fast before.

May I ask where you looked up the information last? Did the uploaded files include a list of references?

(0) Thank | 小帅锅

I remember there were at least 4 reviewers, it's been such a long time, I suggest writing to the publisher or the editor of this journal for advice.

I had a similar situation, it took 20 months from application to acceptance, with the first review taking 15 months. It is necessary to contact the authors to email the editor-in-chief to get a response!! Good luck!!
