This journal is slow; after 6 months I haven’t heard any news about my four submissions. I’m a bit frustrated.

Review Speed: 6.0 Experience Sharing: Submitted in early August 2022 in open access mode. Initial review comments at the end of August required adding a graphic abstract, which was done and resubmitted, entering external review on the third day. Mid-December 2022, feedback received from three reviewers: one gave a score of 9, one an 8, and the last a 7. Editor provided feedback from two reviewers, which was easier to address. Revisions were completed by the end of December and have been in re-review status since (as of January 21, 2023). Overall, the process is indeed slow but relatively easy to submit to. Taking it calmly might be worth a try. I will share any new developments here

Graphical Abstract can be translated as "图文摘要". The function of the Graphical Abstract is similar to that of the abstract of a paper, but it does not need to be as detailed as the abstract. It is more about highlighting the highlights or attractive points of the text, attracting readers to help them understand the full text at a glance and have a certain promotional effect

According to the requirements of the journal, but not all journals have the same requirements

This journal is too slow. I submitted it on August 29 last year, and it has been more than six months now. I have reminded them four times during this period, but still have not received any news. I don't know what's going on
