Experience Sharing: I have submitted two articles for review, and the first review generally takes 2 months. The experimental design needs to be complete and have some novelty, but not difficult to accept. The opinions provided by the three reviewers are very objective and to the point

Stuck at this point, pushing further in this journal is not easy anymore. However, with a score of over 4, it is considered satisfactory

Review speed: 3.0 | Submission acceptance rate: 50.0
Experience sharing: 1. The initial checking process after submission took a long time, about 2 weeks; 2. It took about 5 weeks for the manuscript to be under review and then pending decision; 3. The time for pending decision was also quite long, about 2 weeks; 4. The requirements for recommended reviewers were high, as 3 Chinese reviewers were initially recommended but the editor disagreed, so 6 Caucasian reviewers were recommended instead; 5. The reviewers were very conscientious, with 2 major revisions and an additional experiment requested; 6. It took over 7 months from submission to acceptance (including time for conducting the additional experiment), so it is not recommended for students rushing to graduate
