This journal processes and reviews manuscripts very quickly, making it suitable for friends who are in a hurry to graduate. I submitted in December and received acceptance in February of the following year, going through two rounds of revisions. The first revision included feedback from five reviewers, and after making adjustments and changes, it took 13 days to resubmit. The second revision only required a minor adjustment, and it was resubmitted in the morning and accepted in the evening of the same day.

The speed of the review process still depends on the speed and opinions of the reviewer. If the reviewer is fast and their opinions are clearly positive, the process will be quite quick.

Why do I always get stuck at "Checking your submission..." in the final step of submitting my manuscript? It just stays there and doesn't move. It keeps saying "We’re running some pre-submission checks. This shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. We’ll let you know when this is done and if you need to take any further action." But it just stays frozen on this page. Then when I click on my account, whether I check "Submissions in progress" or "Track your research," it always says "You have no active submissions with Springer Nature." What is going on? Did my submission go through successfully? Where did my article go?

Two reviewers, after the first round of review, requested major revisions and additional experiments. After the second round of review, one reviewer agreed to accept the revised manuscript, while the other reviewer was still not satisfied and requested further revisions, along with additional experiments. Currently, in the third round of review, only one reviewer remains. The revised manuscript was submitted on April 3, 2025, and on April 14, 2025, it showed "The editor has invited 1 reviewer(s)". After waiting for a long time without any status change, an email was sent to the editor on April 28, inquiring about the status. The editor replied saying she saw that the reviewer had confirmed the review, which was strange as it did not show on the author's end. As of May 5, it still shows "The editor has invited 1 reviewer(s)". I wonder how long the review process for this journal is??

It has been revised four times, and now they have invited five reviewers to review it again. If this time there are a bunch of worthless revision suggestions, I will avoid this journal. Please be cautious when submitting.

Their review cycle is about 1 month, and it seems that they will make a decision when the time comes, regardless of how many reviewers' comments they receive. They will provide you with these reviewers' opinions for you to revise. Last time, I received feedback from 8 reviewers in the first round.

Be careful! Don't submit to this journal. I have gone back and forth three times, making nitpicky changes, and the questions raised are irrelevant. The editor wants to ensure that every reviewer approves before acceptance, otherwise even after six months of revisions, the paper may be rejected outright.

Immediate rejection, the reason being that more in-depth research is required. If the research was conducted in depth, why would this journal be submitted to?

Already submitted, instantly rejected. Can't reach the high branches anymore. And the rejection excuse is to let me submit to journals in other fields. 6

Excuse me, were many reviewers invited at that time, but only one reviewer's opinion was received? Thank you.

Return the review results within one month after submission, with only one reviewer. Major revisions required. After spending half a month on revisions, it took another month to return, with the same reviewer. After mentioning English proficiency issues for the second time, sought editing recommendations for polishing. After the polishing, the revised version was directly accepted upon return.
