The manuscript was submitted at the end of August 2019, and the first review decision of major revision returned at the end of October. The mainly revision was to check the format according to journal requirements. There were too many figures and tables. According to the rule of 300 words per figure/table, the number of words exceeded, and the content of the article was also mentioned. After returning the opinion in November, it was accepted in early March 2020. It lasted a total of six months. I think that the speed in this journal is as same as that of a none open access journal. The first review comments were received within 3 months and it was accepted in about half a year. During the process, the comment was as following. It should be clear that papers of a size which exceeds 8000 words (including text, references, figs and tables), cannot be processed further for publication. Each figure/table is counted for 300 words. Please check that no more than 10–15% of the references are from the same journal and no more than three references are from the same author.

Good guys, it was submitted in late January of 2018, and it has been reviewers invited until now in late May of 2019. I had sent several emails to the editor-in-chief from last year to this year. They only replied once when I sent the email for the last time this year, saying that they would ask about the situation. As a result, there is still no change. I wonder if this journal is still alive. I have thought about retracting the manuscript, but I have been waiting for so long, and I hope there will be results, but there has been no news. I’m so tired. I also admire myself that I can wait so long.

Submitted on June 1, 2018; review opinions received on September 27, 2018. But due to personal reasons, we did not open the mailbox until November 3. The editor-in-chief required a major revision, and at the same time improved the language; 2 reviewers gave their opinions, which were very pertinent and not too harsh. One of the experts revised the grammar and preposition errors in the original text word by word, which was very touched! Revised submission on November 26, 2018. Then it was sent for external review one week later; on January 23, 2019, the external review completed, and a minor revision was required by the editor-in-chief on February 3. Only a few prepositions needed to be revised. Revisions returned on February 7; accepted on February 17th; online on February 27th.

Submitted on September 7; after about a week the status showed editor assigned; by September 25 it showed under review, but later the status data became October 5 even though the status was still under review. I hope this means I will be given the opportunity to revise the paper. Update: received review comments on November 23, major revision, but the comments from the two reviewers are not harsh so should be easy to answer. Update again: submitted a revised manuscript on December 26, and then the status showed editor assigned the next day. I received the email of acceptance for publication on January 2.

Are there any formatting requirements? Can I submit directly using the previous submission method for Aisville?

After moving up to Zone 2, the speed slowed down, but the processing speed was quite fast after the revision. The first article this year took 3 months to be published, so it would be good if the article could be published by October.

I invested on March 10th, started UR on April 3rd, and it's still ongoing. I sent an email to the editor a few days ago for communication, but I haven't received a response yet.

7.25 UR remains unchanged.

4.7 submitted, 4.28 UR started, and today 7.16 UR hasn't changed. The speed is incredibly slow, during this time my other submission and recording have all been completed. The speed is remarkably slow, and I anticipate at least a year to get started. This article took a lot of effort to do, and now I really regret submitting it, but now it feels inappropriate to withdraw, as it has already been in for so long.

The first round of review was very slow. The manuscript was submitted on February 18, 2024, and the responsible editor did not reply to any inquiries. Only when an email was sent to the journal JEO would there be occasional responses with specific review information. The first round of comments was received on May 15, 2025, and the revised manuscript was resubmitted on June 15, 2025. The manuscript was finally accepted on June 29, 2025.
