Avoiding lightning, the editor is extremely irresponsible. It took over three months for the editor to reject the submission, and the reason given was not within the scope, without sending it for external review. Is it not possible to handle this reason within a week? There has been no feedback on the progress despite two email inquiries.

Is it normal for the submission to be pending from 3.5 to 3.10 with the editor?

Yes, it has been 22 days and still with the editor, don't know what's going on, I've seen similar situations on Little Red Book as well. The official website's claim of an average of 5 days is not reliable.

The word count should not be so strict, so don't worry too much.

Hello, I have noticed that the journal requires a total word count of 4500-8000, including the title, tables, and references. Is the word count requirement strict? My entire manuscript is 9300 words.

I see that the journal requires the title, tables, and references to be 4500-8000 words. Are these requirements strict?

How many days have you all been rejected or under review (by 2025)?

Can you please update me on the situation? It's been over ten days since I submitted my manuscript and it's still with the editor... Hopefully everything goes well.

May I ask if it has been reviewed? I also submitted it in early May, almost 20 days ago.

The editors and chief editor are particularly responsible, the review process is very fast, unexpected, and the opinions of the two anonymous experts are also professional and in-depth.

Are there any submissions in May? How long does it take to be with the editor, and is it easier to be reviewed if the time is shorter?

(0) 讚！ | 11Accept!!

Has the expert reviewed your manuscript again after the second round of revisions? Currently, one expert has accepted the revision without any comments, while another expert has provided suggestions for publication after the revisions and has also given three additional recommendations. It is uncertain whether they will review it again or if the editor will make the final decision.
