I would like to ask everyone a question. When submitting a manuscript and selecting the article type, I chose "endoluminal surgery." However, when revising, I realized this issue because we generally select "original article." I want to know if choosing "endoluminal surgery" for the article type classifies it as a thesis in the end? Do I need a thesis to graduate?

I am working on this during the major revision. The template can refer to the images on the right side of the articles listed on the journal's official website. I noticed that some people have uploaded them while others haven't. For those who haven't uploaded, their Figure 1 will be used. It's mainly for promotional purposes, so I don't think they will reject it even if it's not uploaded. But to be safe, it's better to create one.

May I ask how to upload the ICMJE Form (one file for each author) attachment? Is it required for each author? Also, is a signature necessary?

Research focus: Endoscopic experience sharing: submitted to the editor for two months, after requesting an update, it was rejected directly. The editor is extremely slow, so I will not submit to them again.

Hello, may I ask how long it takes for a new submission to be with the editor? I haven't received a confirmation email yet. Is it because it's a new submission and it's only been a week?

Hello, I would like to ask if after submitting this journal, all authors must confirm before it reaches the editor. Will a delay in confirmation affect the review process? Also, is it normal for some authors to not receive the submission confirmation email?

Is it required for all authors to confirm after submission of an article before it reaches the editor? Will delaying the confirmation cause a delay in the review process? Is it normal for some authors to not receive the submission successful email?

Do all authors have to confirm after submitting this magazine before it can proceed to the next step? It has been a week since the new submission and it hasn't been with the editor yet. Is it because not all authors have confirmed the submission?
