Friend, did it take a total of 40 days from submission to acceptance? That's fast! How long will it take to receive the first review comments?

Hello friend, when submitting a paper to SMS, do you use a single-column template or a double-column template for the paper? I noticed that some papers published in this journal are single-column while others are double-column. Does this have any impact? Additionally, is it necessary to submit using the corresponding author's email address? Looking forward to your response, thank you!

The divine reviewer sent three reviewers. Reviewer 1 rejected with three comments, Reviewer 2 suggested minor revisions with one comment, Reviewer 3 suggested major revisions with sixteen comments. The last reviewer simply rejected, it's really difficult to make changes.

May I ask how did it turn out for you in the end? I have been in this state for 3 months as well, jumping back and forth between decisions and referees.

Two days later, it changed to "Awaiting Referee Reports". Why did this happen? Can someone knowledgeable help answer this question?

My first two articles went smoothly, but the third one is just like the situation you mentioned above, and I don't know why.

Hello, I have been provisionally accepted for over a month now. Will the official acceptance be confirmed by email or will it automatically become official in the system? Will I be able to publish after the official acceptance?
