Hello, I wanted to ask if the external review process lasts for a total of 4 months, and if there has been any follow-up with the editors during the review. My manuscript has been under external review for 44 days now, and I am considering whether I should follow up with the editors.

I sincerely advise you not to submit to this disgusting journal. After four months of review, they rejected my paper. The reason given was that the opinions of all reviewers were not very positive. However, in reality, the first reviewer's opinion was positive and recommended acceptance; the second reviewer rejected it; the third reviewer provided 6 or 7 suggestions for revision. I really don't understand what the editors of this journal are thinking. It's a waste of time. Perhaps they have some hostility towards mainland China from Hong Kong, or maybe it's just really difficult to get into their circle.

May I ask how many reviewers there are? My paper has been under review for almost a month and I haven't heard anything yet.

It took less than 3 months in total, and the overall speed was very fast.

Submitted on the morning of the 31st, under review on the 1st, it should be an internal review.

Excuse me, is the UR an internal audit or an external audit?

From submission to receiving the editorial comments, it took a total of one month and seven days. The process was very fast, even faster than many open-access journals. There were five reviewers, with four major revisions and one rejection. The rejection was from the editor. Although it is a second-tier journal, the standards are quite high. Overall, the reviews were thorough, except for the one that led to rejection. I will continue to submit to this journal if I have appropriate papers in the future.

Is Under Review an internal audit or an external audit?

Can I use the template provided on the official website for this journal? The Word template seems too general.

Is this month the deadline for the internal audit results? I have been under review for two to three weeks.

The submission was rejected just four days after submission, with a very general reason for rejection. Considering the limited number of articles published each year, this is understandable. Fortunately, it did not waste any time.

It usually takes about a month to receive the first review result after submitting, and the status has been "under review" all along

How many reviewers does this journal usually have?

After submission, the first status is "Under Review". Does it mean that it has been sent for external review, or is there an internal review before the external one?
