I have reviewed articles for this journal. Only a few were submissions by Chinese authors who clearly needed help with the English language. I recommend ESL authors get some kind of writing assistance before submitting their articles. The review period of this journal is very fast, giving the reviewers 20 days of review time.

Why can't I find the submission portal for this journal? Can someone please point me in the right direction?

My situation has been like this: The Associate Editor of your paper is in the process of sourcing the necessary number of reviews for your manuscript. It has been several months and despite sending emails for inquiries, there has been no response.

Notice of major revision on December 7, 2024
Return of major revision on December 30, 2024

After the major revision was returned, it has been under peer review until mid-April 2025. I sent an email to the editor inquiring about the status of the manuscript, and in less than a week, the system changed to "making decision." I thought I had annoyed the editor and the manuscript would be rejected. After just over a day of "making decision," I received an email of acceptance.

2024-06-26 Submission
2024-12-07 Major revision
2024-12-30 Resubmission after major revision
2025-04-22 Acceptance

After resubmission following major revision until mid-April 2025, the paper was under peer review. An email was sent to the editor inquiring about the status of the manuscript, but in less than a week, the system changed to "making decision," leading to the assumption that the editor was being pressured to reject the paper. After more than a day in the "making decision" stage, an acceptance email was received.

Just received an email for the first round of revisions today. Two reviewers provided feedback with 18 comments from one and 6 comments from the other. I will definitely make the necessary revisions.

It is obvious that your manuscript has been forgotten. Contact the editor who provided you with the first round of comments and search for their personal work email. Politely ask for feedback, including your manuscript number, and you should receive a response. Sending an email directly through the system will not be effective.

On December 17, 2024, the status changed to Awaiting Decision, and it has been nearly five months since then without any changes. During this time, I have sent two reminder emails to the editor but have not received any response.

20250315 Awaiting Recommendation: The Associate Editor is currently reviewing the reports and recommendations from the reviewers. Please be patient as our editors handle a large volume of papers and may need time to make their decisions. It is also possible that editors may find a reviewer report to be insufficient and request additional reviews.

I sent an email asking, but no one replied. By the way, I wanted to ask if you submitted the contact journal through the journal's website or sent it directly to their email.
