Submitted in December 2025, it took ten months (including major revisions, rejected resubmissions, and minor revisions) before finally being accepted. It was too slow, it felt like every step of the process was extremely slow.

I just checked and some articles are showing as non-OA, which may be related to the institution, such as the Animal Institute, which may have not required page fees before. There was an option when submitting before, if your institution meets the requirements, you can choose non-OA, if not, only OA is available. The latest requirement seems to be that all institutions only have OA as an option.

The manuscript has been resubmitted. This journal was also open access before 7.1, with an article processing charge of over $3000. This time, the resubmission indicates that the article processing charge is even cheaper than before.

Excuse me, have you resubmitted your application? Now that it's after July 1st, does your submission need to go through the Online Assessment (OA) process as well?

Translation: 
After the revision, one reviewer had no comments, while the other reviewer provided five suggestions. The editor asked me to make the changes and resubmit. What kind of operation is this???

You are so fast, I envy you. I have been back for rework until now, and the external audit has ended. It has been 20 days since the editor received it, and I don't know what's going on.

Awaiting reviewer assignment, hope to be sent for external review.

Does anyone know the submission status of this journal? It has changed from "awaiting ED assignment" to "Awaiting Reviewer Selection". Does this mean it has entered the external review stage? But I haven't received an email.

If one is unfairly treated during the submission process, and if one also has to say, "We should not easily dismiss a domestic journal, or even all domestic journals, as biased," then where has the basic ethics of scientific research gone?

Different types: descriptive, informative, and structured. Descriptive abstracts are typically used in the social sciences and humanities, providing general information without specific details about research methods and conclusions. Informative abstracts are commonly found in scientific papers, presenting information about the research background, purpose, methods, results, and conclusions. Structured abstracts, on the other hand, focus on providing detailed information and are organized into a series of headings (e.g. research objectives, methods, results, conclusions), primarily used in medical papers and clinical trial reports

Accuracy: The abstract should accurately reflect the purpose and content of the paper; Independence: The abstract should stand alone, be independent, and therefore provide explanations for special terms, all abbreviations (excluding units of measurement), and omissions; Conciseness and specificity: Every sentence in the abstract should provide information to the maximum extent possible and be as concise as possible; Tense and voice: The abstract generally uses present and simple past tenses, and the passive voice to describe factual events
