May I ask what is the current situation?

After submitting, it took half a month for the initial review, and then they said they wanted a dual-column format. After resubmitting, I am now waiting for the main editor to assign it, which is a bit slow.

I have also accepted, but I have not received the proofreading yet. It has been a month and a half, how about you?

Hello, may I ask how long does it usually take for the first review?

Translate the following paragraph into English: About half a year, it's a long time, just wait slowly. You can check the acceptance date and publication date written on the other articles in this journal.

Submitted at the end of September in 24, major revisions in mid-December, minor revisions in early January of 25, accepted in early March after review by four reviewers. The overall process was a bit slow, hoping for a faster turnaround in the future.

Submitted in June, minor revisions in August, accepted in October. The speed of review and the comments provided were both good. How long does it usually take to receive confirmation of acceptance and publication? Any experienced individuals know?

It took three months, but after acceptance, the editorial department still needs some time to check and request supplementary documents, then pay the APC. The publication will be in the next year.

What does "pending recommendation" mean after the initial review? How many days does it take to get to the next status?

(0) 讚！ | 高压船长

There are too many connections, even shitty articles can be published. It is really expected to be taken down in the first district.

To the best of my knowledge, the editorial department has always been working towards improving the speed of the review process. Occasionally, a longer review time for a submission could be due to fewer reviewers accepting invitations.
If you haven't heard back about your submission in a month and a half, it is recommended to contact the editor directly by phone.
Generally, they will provide an explanation and it should not affect the review outcome
