Hello teachers!
I would like to ask a question and hope for your guidance.
Recently, I submitted a paper to a special issue (VSI: PR_Evaluate4Science) of the Pattern Recognition journal, which is currently under external review. However, I noticed that the call for papers for this special issue can no longer be found on the journal's official website, and there is no relevant information in the special issue list.
Have any of you had a similar experience? How do you usually handle this situation?

Will there be plagiarism and AI detection before the hiring process?

Only two people replied, and neither of them had any new opinions.

@It's so hard, xcx. I've been RRC since early May, it's difficult to break through. Bro, have you changed your status now? I'm also in the second review.

Did all three people respond after the rework, or did just two people make the decision?

Congratulations, receiving within 3 months is already a very low probability event.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "strong contingency" that you mentioned.
