The process was quite challenging, but fortunately the revised version was accepted. I spent over half a month traveling during the Lunar New Year before returning home to revise the paper. I am grateful to the kind-hearted reviewers and editors. Perhaps because my research direction is relatively niche, it took a long time for the editor to find reviewers. I even had to send an email to follow up. The difficulty of submitting to this journal is not high, making it suitable for a beginner's first article. They only ask if you want to make it open access after acceptance.

There were no reasons given for the rejection, despite numerous follow-ups. It was of no use.

How did those who say this journal is fast and easy come to this conclusion?

Not recommended for submission, it's been four or five months, went through three external reviews, and was rejected afterwards. It's really damn frustrating. The first external review had one rejection and two acceptances, the second had one with no comments and one with two formatting suggestions. Yet another round of external review is needed, but then there was no progress, and eventually got rejected.

It is indeed a bit disappointing. Is there a reason for the rejection?

May I ask if this journal is closed source? What criteria is the decision to be open or not based on? I don't see this option, can you please provide a response?

Excuse me, is this journal closed-source? What criteria does the selection process consider for openness? I can't seem to find that option.

OP, when did you submit the post?

(0) 讚！ | 雪见

When I first submitted, I received an email within over an hour asking me to resubmit due to formatting issues. Now I am stuck at "With Journal Administrator" and I have no idea how long I will be at this step. These past few days, I have been constantly thinking about it, wondering if I should just check the process. The most frustrating part of submitting a manuscript is not the writing, but the waiting.

My three reviewers, two positive and one negative, accepted the revised manuscript in less than a month. The final decision now depends on the editor.

Four reviewers, three positive and one negative, can also directly reject. Impressive.
