Hello, may I ask if the journal has strict requirements on the word count? Do we need to write to the editor separately if we exceed the word limit specified in the Guide for authors? Please reply after reading.

Hello, is the control of word count strict for journals? If the word count exceeds the limit specified in the Guide for Authors, do I need to write a separate letter to the editor-in-chief?

Yes, it is a review article.

It took six months from submission to acceptance. The early stage was slow, with the manuscript taking four months to be reviewed. After receiving major revisions, minor revisions were requested. The manuscript was accepted just two days after the minor revisions were returned. Overall, the early stage was slow, but the review process was quick. The reviewers were responsible and professional. Those with ample time can give it a try, but those nearing graduation are not recommended to do so.

Review article, submitted from May 2024 to April 2025, with a review period of nearly one year. After major revisions and minor revisions, finally wrapped up the first work of graduate students. I hope the journal will continue to improve, and I wish everyone smooth submissions!

Excuse me, brother, in this situation, can we directly submit to another journal without rejection or withdrawal? Will it be considered as duplicate submission?

I have been waiting for a year and a half for review, and it feels like the reviewer has disappeared. It's really worrying.

What's the situation now, has it been resubmitted for review?

It has been two months since the revision was submitted to the journal, and it has not yet reached the editor. Is this normal? It's agonizing.

It has been 4 months since submission, one of the two reviewers has provided feedback, but the other reviewer has been silent for over 60 days, it feels like they have disappeared. The editor also hasn't invited new reviewers, it's really frustrating.

From initial draft to acceptance took less than 6 months. Both reviewers were very nice, with one having no comments and the other providing suggestions for structural optimization, requesting the article to showcase innovation and increase critical analysis. The feedback was very helpful for optimizing the article. It underwent major revisions for the first time. After revisions, minor edits were made to improve grammar and add practical discussions, and it was accepted within a week. The processing speed has improved after changing editors, leading to a longer overall waiting time, but it was worth it.

It's too slow... I applied in December and didn't get rejected until mid-February. Can't they reject me faster? The review process is also too slow.

I have been rejected, but fortunately it didn't take too long to be rejected.

Doesn't it look like it's going to be rejected?

Excuse me, OP, should the formatting revisions be kept as well? Or is it sufficient to only keep the textual revisions?

On January 10, 2025, the paper was desk rejected by the editor, stating that it does not fall within the scope of the journal. It's ridiculous. How can we submit to this journal in the future?

On January 10, 2025, the submission was desk rejected with editor, stating that it does not fall within the scope of the journal's coverage, which is absurd.
