I want to ask if the review process for Apen's special issue is much slower than the regular issue? It has been one month since I submitted to the special issue WE.

Professor Sun Wenqiang has been working tirelessly. The time frames for Professor Sun's handling of my thesis are as follows:

First review:
Zita sent it to Professor Sun at 9 pm, and Professor Sun sent it for review at 9:30 pm;
The reviewer returned comments at 3 am, and Professor Sun provided revisions at 7 am;

Second review:
Zita sent it to Professor Sun at 6:30 pm, and Professor Sun sent it for review 5 minutes later;
The reviewer returned comments at 10 pm, and Professor Sun accepted them at 10:30 pm.
I hope Professor Sun takes care of himself, he is working too hard, he is the most dedicated editor I have ever encountered!
I accepted it at 10:30 pm on April 22nd.

Hello, may I ask at what time does Sun usually start work during the day?

I am very lucky to be assigned to Wenqiang Sun as my editor. As a senior editor, decisions made by him do not need to go through the chief editor, so there is no "Decision in process" status. Sun is very responsible and efficient, handling each task on the same day, sometimes even within an hour. Thumbs up for him!

Has RRC been around for so long now? Why can the first review of RRC last for more than a month?

Does anyone else have the same Italian editor to deal with? I seriously doubt he only deals with it once a month.

The Italian deputy editor has poor online presence, but the chief editor is very quick in handling it.

Could you please confirm if this journal is non-OA and if there are any page charges? Is there a specific page limit for the initial draft, and will there be charges for exceeding the page limit?

I contacted the English customer service at that time, but couldn't wait any longer, so I directly emailed the editor. I don't know what step took effect. 
Wish you all the best~

Congratulations! Currently, only one reviewer has completed the review. It has been a long time since we have been unable to find a second reviewer, it has been more than 2 months. Contacting customer service will only result in them contacting the editor, but there has been no change. Hopefully, we can invite the second reviewer soon.

After being rejected, I rewrote the paper and submitted it as a new paper because there were too many changes. This time it went relatively smoothly, except for a three-month period when we couldn't find reviewers, and finally a kind person accepted the review. I wish my brothers smooth submissions and share the timeline as a reference.
