Apart from the delay caused by the system losing my manuscript during the system change (which was later recovered by the editorial team), the first round of review took 4 months, but the process was quick after revisions were made.

How long does the "with editor" status typically last for everyone? The official website states that the median time for the first decision is 20 days. It has been 20 days for me already. Do I still need to wait?

The application submitted in August, 25 years ago, was quickly reviewed, with the status changing many times. It was not until March 31st, 26 years ago that it was finally approved, so slow.

No, I think another reviewer left without making any comments, so the editor returned the manuscript to me. After making minor revisions and resubmitting, the initial reviewer accepted it. Unexpectedly, a second reviewer requested major revisions, but after my second round of revisions, the manuscript was successfully accepted. The process was very formal.

Hello, may I ask if there is an option for Research Square when submitting your manuscript? If the paper is rejected, will it be shared on there?

Feels relatively fast, submitted in mid-February, received revision comments in May, was busy and did not make the changes, returned after three months, accepted one month later! Overall, the review comments were quite detailed and the quality was acceptable. However, due to the large number of articles from third world countries, the language requirements are not very high. I did not have my article language polished as I wrote it myself and did not have anyone proofread it. I have previously submitted three articles, and only one journal has raised language issues. I'm not sure if it's because my language expression is acceptable or the requirements are not high. However, I have also struggled to read articles by non-native English-speaking authors in that journal. Therefore, I feel that the language requirements of the journal may not be high. If you are confident in your language expression, you can submit directly without proofreading.

The manuscript was submitted on June 1, 2019. It underwent two major revisions and one minor revision. It was accepted on March 2, 2020. The overall review was slow, and it limited the word counts of articles.
