2019.12.24, submitted; 2020.9.15, accepted. During the period, there were one major revision and one minor revision. It was the pandemic that delayed for 4 months and the experiments couldn’t be supplemented. It took 9 months in total. Overall, I feel that the efficiency was quite high, the editor was serious and responsible, it can be considered to submit the articles with small experiments.

I do NOT recommend submitting to this journal. Honestly, I regret the fact that I submitted my manuscript to this journal in the first place. I submitted my manuscript draft in March, and it is now July and I have still not heard from the editor or reviewers. I have submitted articles to other journals before, and I was expecting a comparable review period of around 2 months. In a few days, it will have been 4 months with no results or communication. If I don’t receive reviews in the next few days, I am going to write the editorial department and withdraw the manuscript.

Two reviewers, after the first round of review, requested major revisions and additional experiments. After the second round of review, one reviewer agreed to accept the revised manuscript, while the other reviewer was still not satisfied and requested further revisions, along with additional experiments. Currently, in the third round of review, only one reviewer remains. The revised manuscript was submitted on April 3, 2025, and on April 14, 2025, it showed "The editor has invited 1 reviewer(s)". After waiting for a long time without any status change, an email was sent to the editor on April 28, inquiring about the status. The editor replied saying she saw that the reviewer had confirmed the review, which was strange as it did not show on the author's end. As of May 5, it still shows "The editor has invited 1 reviewer(s)". I wonder how long the review process for this journal is??

It has been revised four times, and now they have invited five reviewers to review it again. If this time there are a bunch of worthless revision suggestions, I will avoid this journal. Please be cautious when submitting.

Their review cycle is about 1 month, and it seems that they will make a decision when the time comes, regardless of how many reviewers' comments they receive. They will provide you with these reviewers' opinions for you to revise. Last time, I received feedback from 8 reviewers in the first round.

Be careful! Don't submit to this journal. I have gone back and forth three times, making nitpicky changes, and the questions raised are irrelevant. The editor wants to ensure that every reviewer approves before acceptance, otherwise even after six months of revisions, the paper may be rejected outright.

Immediate rejection, the reason being that more in-depth research is required. If the research was conducted in depth, why would this journal be submitted to?

Already submitted, instantly rejected. Can't reach the high branches anymore. And the rejection excuse is to let me submit to journals in other fields. 6

Excuse me, were many reviewers invited at that time, but only one reviewer's opinion was received? Thank you.

Return the review results within one month after submission, with only one reviewer. Major revisions required. After spending half a month on revisions, it took another month to return, with the same reviewer. After mentioning English proficiency issues for the second time, sought editing recommendations for polishing. After the polishing, the revised version was directly accepted upon return.

The manuscript submitted in July 2021, with three reminders during the period, received no response. It has been nine months now, and I have just been rejected. I am truly fed up.

Do not submit to newly established magazines with rapidly increasing impact factors; do not submit to journals with few publications; do not submit to journals in areas where academia is not very developed. Safe journals are those owned by larger publishing groups or high-impact factor magazines
