A manuscript was submitted on 12 August 2025. From 14 August, it is showing "decision pending". I was suspecting that it will be rejected since it is too fast, which shows decision pending. But if it is already decided as a desk reject then from 14 August morning to today 17 August still decision pending. What does it actually mean?
Please anyone help me.

Regarding the payment information, not all authors will receive emails about payment information. It is highly likely that the corresponding author will receive the email about payment. As the second author, I did not receive any email about payment. Once the reviewers have no comments and the journal confirms acceptance for publication, it should only take about one or two days to receive an email about payment.

Have you received any emails regarding payment behind you?

Hello, may I ask how long it takes for communication to receive the *received manuscript* information after receiving acceptance, in order to make the payment?

Hello, may I ask if you have received any comments from the reviewer during the major revision process? I have been working on revisions, but have not received any feedback from the reviewer.

May I ask how the issue of not receiving the payment email from the upstairs was resolved? I am also facing the same problem.

Were you directly accepted without finding a reviewer? I have been awaiting reviewer assignment all this time, and even after following up, it hasn't changed.

1. Submitted on December 3, 2024.
From December 3, 2024 to February 8, 2025, the status remained in "Awaiting Reviewer Assignment". I sent an email to the editorial department to inquire about the situation. The editorial department replied promptly and informed me of the reason for the delay (the editor had encountered some issues and did not update the status in a timely manner), and quickly processed my submission.
2. Major Revision on February 15, 2025.
3. Revision returned on February 20, 2025.
4. Accepted on March 7, 2025.

Thank you for accepting the submission.

I am also waiting. It has been three months since I was hired, but I still haven't received any payment emails or anything.

Hello, I haven't received any further notifications after receiving the acceptance email a week ago. Is this normal? I have not heard anything since then.

After the first review, there will be a major revision 11 months later. Following the second review, there will be minor revisions 10 days after the manuscript is returned for revision. After the third review, the manuscript will be accepted 10 days after being returned for revision. Including the time for revisions, the whole process will take a little over a year.
