You're obviously rejecting it, so just reject it quickly. Why are you dragging it out for so many days? It's delaying me from submitting elsewhere.

Hello, the submission system does not have the option for "research article" as an article type. Should I select the option for VSI instead? Additionally, there is no template for "research article" on the official website, should I refer to the template for a review instead? Thank you.

4-17 under review
The status of 5-19 under review has remained unchanged, and the processing speed is a bit slow.

May I ask what you selected at the back, and what does VSI mean below that?

The submission was made on March 14th and is still with the editor. Despite several attempts to contact the editorial department, there has been no reply. Urgently need to carefully consider re-submitting!!!

Now double-blind peer review is being conducted, and I feel that the quality of the journal will be further improved.

What is the point of running a journal like this?

Speak softly, indeed, communication is the domain of the big shots in the circle, and the reviewers are all insiders.

This journal is a scam, completely a clique journal. Don't even think about getting accepted in the group, and I don't recommend submitting. Last year, the group submitted twice, both times the feedback was unreasonable rejection without any reason given, and no editor's name was left. This year, another direction of the research group was submitted for the first time, and haha, the same result again. All four reviewers provided revision suggestions, with two of them even explicitly stating acceptance after revision. However, the editor still unreasonably rejected without giving any reasons. If you reject all submissions like this, why bother sending them for review in the first place? No editor's name is left either, speechless. I suggest everyone to be extremely cautious, this journal is completely a clique journal, the so-called double-blind review is just a joke!

Excuse me, how do I submit a research paper to this journal? When selecting the article type in the submission system, there is no option for "research article."

How to inquire about the status of the review?

May I ask where can I check the progress of the review? I couldn't find it on the Elsevier's official account.

Hello, I would like to ask when transferring copyright, should all the authors sign with their Chinese names or English names?

Hello, I would like to ask if the copyright transfer form is to be printed out and then filled in, or if it should be filled in and then printed out for signatures. Should all authors sign with their Chinese name or their English name? Thank you for your answer.
