Six months after the submission, no reviewers have been invited... The editor is Junsaku Nitta from Japan, who only invites one person at a time and then waits three weeks, which is extremely inefficient. It was urged twice in the middle, the editor did not reply, and the progress was not improved. Other journals generally invite three people at a time, and it is not clear whether the way the editor invites reviewers is determined by the journal or the editor himself. In short, try to avoid this journal, especially the editor...

The database was changed at the end of August. You cannot log into the new system with the previous password, you need to click “Send Login Details” to change the password. However, I clicked for several times, but didn’t receive the email for changing the password. The status of the article cannot be checked; and there was no news. Have you ever encountered similar situation? How to fix it? The problem of being listed as spam or blacklist has been eliminated. After contacting customer service, he resent the email but I still cannot receive it. Please help me!

Articles submitted on Dec. 2; The status was "Reviewer invited" on Dec. 6; It has been invited for 73 days so far, and I wrote a letter to the editor at 63 days and they ignored me... I am graduating this year, and I don’t know if I can get the result of the “reviewer invited” before graduation...

The initial review includes language and technical details. If your writing isn’t good you will get a desk rejection right off the bat. This journal is very efficient; pay close attention to the author guidelines so that you don’t have trouble with formatting the paper before you get it accepted.

Hello, how are you doing now?

A little too fast, I submitted the manuscript on September 3, 2024, and it went straight to the editor. That evening, it was already under review.. The editor chosen at the time was Ming-Wei Wu. I have never seen it happen so quickly before.. I hope the peer review process goes smoothly.

Hello, I would like to ask if we can choose editors when submitting our work, or if they are automatically assigned?

This journal is incredibly slow. I suggest not submitting to it.
Submitted on 2023-09-14, under review approximately two weeks later.
Received feedback on 2023-10-28, with revisions required from two reviewers.
Submitted revised manuscript on 2023-11-02.
Received decisions on 2023-12-27, with acceptance from two reviewers, but strangely received additional review comments from another reviewer that were not included in the decision letter. I had to request them from the editor.
Submitted revised manuscript on 2024-01-08, followed by another long waiting period.
Sent reminders on 2024-03-13 and 2024-04-24, both indicating that the manuscript was still under review.
Due to frustration, I withdrew the submission on 2024-05-06 to move to a different journal.
This journal will be added to my personal blacklist.
By the way, the editor is Horacio Pastawski

The speed was fast, and there were review comments in less than two months. There was only one reviewer who gave three suggestions. After ten days, it was revised, and after another ten days, it was accepted, lasting for over two months. Unfortunately, there won't be a basic version next year, so only the advanced version will be considered.
