This journal is too slow. If you are in a hurry, I hope you don’t submit to this journal. I submitted the manuscript in December last year and major revision submitted in June this year. In August, the reference format was required to revise. And then new reviewers were selected to review the manuscript. It has not finally been accepted until I sent a few emails to inquire. I missed a lot of things because this journal was too slow.

It was submitted at the end of November 2019. Major revisions were required at the beginning of January 2020, and the revised manuscript was returned at the end of the month. It had always with the editor (and we sent N times of reminders). It was sent for review at the end of May. Reviews Completed in June. There is no news. The efficiency is really low...

Not acceptable; no new knowledge; science or discovery is presented; information is of local interest only. Same reasons.

This journal is not good. The processing efficiency is so low: a paper often stays in the “editor assigned” status for one month, and then gets rejected for the following reason: “Information is of local interest only. No new knowledge, science or discovery is presented.” Funny thing is that I recently submitted three articles to the journal, all of which were directly rejected with the above reason, but these manuscripts were later published in journals that are ranked much higher than this one. I don't know if this is because the journal doesn't want manuscripts from Chinese authors.

The editor-in-chief of this journal is also too picky.

The initial draft was submitted on March 14, 2025, and is currently assigned to an editor. It's been almost three weeks and I am speechless.

I'm not sure if it's been sent for external review or internal review, but the length of time for this journal is all up to luck. It feels like it starts at four months.
