This magazine does not have a "submit to journal" step, submissions go directly to the editor.

May I ask if this journal requires the submission of a dataset? I am planning to use my dataset for another article and would prefer not to make it public.

Do all authors need to confirm after submission?

No, they must be from different countries.

Bro, after I submitted it, I instantly became "with editor" without going through the step of submitting to the journal. Did the same thing happen when you submitted yours? Is this normal for mine?

During the second review, the third reviewer took a long time, about a month. The editor was very responsible and the overall processing speed was fast. It took three months in total, much smoother than the first one! Good luck to everyone, hope everyone can accept it!

Hello, I have two questions to ask: 1. Is external audit done by two people? 2. How do I know which editor or chief editor the article has been submitted to? The first submission had formatting issues, and the associate editor replied to the email. After making the necessary changes and resubmitting, the status changed to "under review" without receiving any email. Thank you.

Did you recommend five reviewers from different countries yourself? Can they all be from the same country?

Do reviewers need to accept the second review before reviewing it? Two invitations for the second review have been sent out, but it has been two weeks and no one has accepted the invitations yet

Does the second review need to be accepted by the reviewers before it can be reviewed? Two invitations for the second review have been sent out, and it has been two weeks already without any acceptance
