Indeed, an open-source time is quite slow.

Submitted on 3.23, still with editor. Reminded once after two weeks, no response. If there's no news after one month, I will withdraw the submission.

Submission was made on 4.1, but now it's already 4.13 and it hasn't been sent for review or rejected yet. At this pace, it feels like the overall time is not going to be fast.

Submitted in March 25th year, received first review comments in October, as of April 26th year, no results for the second review yet, and the official website status has been stuck on the day of submitting the revised manuscript. The Elsevier official account shows that all reviewers have completed their reviews in November 25th year, but the official website status is still at "WE". This is the first time I've seen a journal being this slow.

There are no specific requirements for the template, just submit it directly to his publication.

Has anyone been rejected after submitting a manuscript to the journal? Can it be resubmitted?
The editor provided very general comments, stating only that the quality of the manuscript does not meet the journal's standards. Since it did not undergo external review, there is also uncertainty about how to make revisions.
Also, I would like to ask if it is necessary to use the official template provided by the journal for formatting and uploading?

Three reviewers completed the second review, entered the DIP stage, and then the editor submitted it for review again. Five reviewers completed the review, but it still shows as under review. Five opinions are still not enough, why make it so abstract?

I am also finished reviewing three DIPs, and now I am reviewing URs. I don't know what's going on.

The second review of the RRC took two months, and there has been no progress on the DIP for two weeks, the Portuguese editor said.

Don't treat this journal as a normal open-access journal. It's normal for this thing to be slow. Around me, it's common to have seven to nine months and three rounds of review.

Which editor are you? Do you have a specific timeline to share? It's been 7 days with my editor and there has been no movement.

Which section of this journal is faster? 
After reading everyone's comments, I am a bit nervous. I originally planned to submit to the environmental engineering section according to the journal's introduction, but when I submitted the paper, I found out that it wasn't available in the system, so I submitted it to the production engineering section.
