Compared to more established pharmaceutical journals, this one has a very fast processing speed and a lot of reviewer comments, but overall it is quite friendly. I am very happy with the outcome.

Is Decision in Process going to take this long? I also received a Decision in Process on the third day of submission, but there has been no further update. However, it is highly likely that my submission has been rejected.

After that, there was no further news. Does anyone know what's going on? Is it possible that it will be rejected without review again?

Do you no longer need to recommend reviewers for research papers in this journal?

It took 2.5 months with a total of 4 reviewers, all providing positive feedback and very professional, but the suggestions were not easy to implement. Faced with completing a doctoral degree, finding a job, and writing a thesis, it was fortunate to encounter kind-hearted reviewers. Thank you.

After "with editor," the decision in process typically lasts for a few days.
