Revised version returned in late April
Accepted by the end of May

(1) Already in Zone 2, slightly lower compared to other journals in the same field, and not well promoted. The future development of the journal is uncertain.
(2) Reviewers are okay, not too difficult, although there are some issues that are difficult to comment on.
(3) The process is quite slow, and it is difficult to find reviewers for niche topics. Editors are also not proactive in inviting reviewers. Even if you contact customer service to urge the editor, there may be delays in receiving further invitations. For students in a hurry to graduate, please proceed with caution.

The review process is very fast, with four reviewers who each take about a week on average. The paper was accepted after three rounds of revisions.

On Jan 13, 2022, the editor finally replied to request revisions. After reviewing the questions from two reviewers, there were a total of over ten points to address. They gave me a two-month period for the revisions. It can be said that they are quite laid-back.

All questions must be answered point by point, do not omit any; try to meet the additional experiments suggested in the comments, provide reasonable reasons if unable to meet them; make sure to cite the literature recommended by the reviewers and discuss thoroughly; when submitting the revised manuscript, make sure to check the corrections made in the original draft

After reviewers have completed rating the paper, they need to write a complete review. Typically, this includes a brief summary of the paper, an evaluation of its innovative aspects, pointing out any shortcomings, and providing suggestions on how the paper should be handled by the editor

What are the opinions and suggestions of journal editors? What are the opinions and suggestions of reviewers? What are the differences between the two?

(1) 讚！ | 1

It has been almost 2 weeks since I submitted my article, and it is still with the editor. It's really slow!

(0) 讚！ | 一只冰琴呀

It took nearly a year and a half from submission to receiving reviewer comments, and then they only allowed 60 days for revisions. The process is very slow, so if you're a student waiting to graduate, it's best not to submit to this journal

It took about 10 months from submission to the online version being released, and this is what I submitted!
