Submitted for 15 months, still have not received the first review comments, only stayed in the status of inviting experts but experts have not accepted the review, urged twice with no progress, and received two perfunctory official responses. From five or six peers who have submitted to this journal, I have learned that they have all been delayed for more than 2 years, and in the end, a random expert was found to write some comments and reject the submission. This journal is purely for playing in the circle, originally submitted with high expectations, but very disappointed. I have applied to withdraw the submission!

Submitted in August 2023, no response after 6 months of external review, after sending a reminder email, additional reviewers were added. A month later, the expert opinion was directly rejected, the review comments were vague, with some reference value, wasting 7 or 8 months. If you do not have insiders to guide you, be cautious about submitting

Two months later, one reviewer provided many constructive comments and another reviewer only wrote three lines. In the end, the editor-in-chief directly rejected the paper. Maybe I can find another reviewer through personal connections. This is what it's like for a novice in academia, I have to face obstacles everywhere without a mentor

Submitted half a month before getting in touch with the editor, and then after another half month, it was rejected without even being reviewed. No feedback was given, just that they have too many submissions to handle.
So slow, dragging their feet on submissions. Seems like only insiders in this circle can get published.
Definitely will not touch this journal again, considering the quality of the journal and the connections, it's truly disgusting and a waste of time. Choose your journals carefully!!!

Slow as hell, and the feedback is very casual, not very helpful, just a waste of time.
Submitted for a whole year (always under review), I emailed the editor to urge them, and within a week they found a reviewer who hastily gave some feedback. It's clear that the feedback is very casual, not carefully examined, clearly rushed, and then it got rejected.
Although the journal is quite prestigious (Q2), the speed of reviewing papers on their homepage is still okay. It's all about that circle, so don't bother trying if you're not part of that inner circle
