Lightning avoidance, lightning avoidance, lightning avoidance. In the first round, two reviewers were assigned for two months. In the second round, three new reviewers were invited for three months. The editor was Chinese, and it ended in tragedy.

One of the reviewers in the first round raised very unprofessional questions and kept fixating on a small image issue, most likely because they were a Chinese peer reviewer.

In the second round, three new reviewers raised a pile of formatting and new issues. It is important to note that these were three new reviewers. The editor's reason for rejection was that they looked at the reviewers' comments.

I have submitted to many journals, and this was the worst submission experience. Firstly, it is not an SCI journal, and it has never been ranked above the Chinese Academy of Sciences' second zone. Secondly, it is not a classic magazine in any particular field, with extremely low cost-effectiveness. It was a waste of time and energy, and the end result was not receiving any constructive or systematic revision suggestions, but rather wasting a lot of time.

Not SCI, and now the classification by the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been cancelled, so we still need to be cautious, it may not be usable for graduation in the future.

ESCI can also be classified by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. However, there is no need to worry too much. I see that its immediate impact factor is quite high, and I feel that its quality is stable. It is only a matter of time before it is promoted to SCI. Currently, it is only in ESCI because it was established just a few years ago.

Why does it show SCI Zone 2 above?

Not SCI, not SCI, not SCI, important things are said three times. Graduates or those with specific assessment requirements should read carefully before submitting, don't waste your energy in vain!

After submitting on the 11th, I immediately withdrew. I'm not sure if this journal has high requirements for review articles.

The editorial department processes submissions very quickly. Submitted on 9/29, reviewed on 10/2. After two rounds of review, it was accepted in about 70 days and published online the next day. The only issue is that I found out after submitting that this journal is not yet SCI, hopefully it will become SCI soon.

The reviewer who submitted their review 4 to 5 days before you is about to complete the evaluation (but it is unknown how many more days it will take).

The external audit was rejected after four months, indicating that the journal's requirements are still very high.

May I ask how efficient this journal is in terms of processing time? How long does it take for the editors to handle submissions, and how much time is usually spent on peer review?
