Very slow, very slow! Submitted on March 26, 2025, passed preliminary review on March 26, 2025, waiting for assignment to handling editor on March 27, 2025, still waiting for handling editor on May 15, 2025, withdraw the submission! The submission-to-preliminary decision (excluding external review) as stated in the journal: 5 days (median time) is completely inaccurate!!!

The editing speed is really slow, it took a month and a half to send out for external review. Did you eventually accept it?

The editing process is relatively slow. Submission was made in mid-July, and the manuscript was sent for external review by the end of July. There was a change in reviewers during this period, resulting in a total external review period of 4 months. Currently, we are in the stage of waiting for the editorial decision after receiving the external review comments. It has been 1 month and there has been no progress, even after reminders
