Yes, after one round of revisions, both opinions were accepted, and the editor approved them.

Thank you very much. Can two reviewers approve it for a dip?

It took nearly three weeks to complete the review.

A few suggestions.

It took more than 2 months from submission to acceptance, and the editor was very efficient.

May I ask how long it will take for the corresponding editor to accept it? Isn't there still a step of assigning editors after technical review? How long will it take, my dear, it has been two months and I still haven't been accepted by an editor (crying).

Submitted on December 26, 2025, and entered peer review on the 31st of the same month, with only 1 out of 6 invited reviewers accepting. Received the second report on February 2, 2026, showing that the editor had invited 10+ people. However, it is now April 1st, and there has been no further communication. Does anyone know what to do in this situation?

The third review stage is almost here. As long as the technical review goes well, it's all good. This magazine is pretty good. It's okay to wait a little longer for the final result, right? Hahaha.

If there is no withdrawal of the submission, or the journal has not agreed to withdraw the submission, submitting the same manuscript to another journal is considered academic misconduct of duplicate submission. It is recommended to withdraw the submission first.

How are the journal quartiles determined after renaming?

Previously, the technical reviews were approved on the same day, but now it's been six days and there is still no progress.

Entered peer review quickly, around 1 month later. However, received rejection notice 2 months later. Only 1 reviewer, rejected for "lack of innovation."

Hi everyone, I would like to ask if this journal has changed its name. If my submission is accepted and published, will I be able to obtain a retrieval report?

Hello, how long has your with editor status been changed? How is it now? Mine has been in this status for a month already. I have submitted to this journal before and it was quite fast, I don't know why it's taking so long now.

May I ask how long it took for each of the following stages: receiving the proofreading, paying the layout fee, and getting published (with proof of publication)?

It took 4 months and 10 days from submission to acceptance, during which there were journal adjustments, slowing down the process.
