My paper was submitted in November 24th, 24, with 16 reviewers invited and 7 accepted. At the end of February, after minor revisions, 4 reviewers provided a lot of comments. After submitting on March 3rd, only one reviewer accepted and provided feedback on the same day, while the others did not even accept the invitation. This journal is really slow. For those rushing to graduate, be cautious!

There are many Indian editors for the journal, and you can tell that it's just a formality. It's like they're not even trying anymore.

How long does it generally take for RRC? It's been almost two weeks for me.

I sent a reminder email and also contacted customer service, but still no response. Why are the editors and reviewers so irresponsible?

The submission was made on December 8th, and after two weeks the editors sent it for review. It took over two months for the first review to come back with minor revisions. One reviewer completed their review in three days, while the other reviewer took two months to complete their review.

The revised manuscript was returned on March 8th. One reviewer accepted and completed the review on the same day, while the other reviewer accepted the review but has been delaying for 35 days and has not yet completed it. There has been no response even after sending reminder emails after 30 days.

The speed of the review process is extremely slow.

Who has the editor-in-chief's email? I have been sending emails through the system but haven't received any replies. I have been submitting my work for over a month now, but it is still in the "waiting for evaluation" status.

2025/3/30 Under Review, send 9 and pick up 5. This is ridiculous.

Has it been submitted for review? I submitted it on 3.22, but it still hasn't been sent for review. I don't know what's going on.

Submitted on March 11, 24, accepted on June 12, with two revisions in between. Successfully accepted. I have similar concerns as other colleagues, the self-citation rate of this journal is a bit high, but hopefully it won't lead to being put on hold.

It should be published soon. Overall, this journal is fairly average.
