Verified Reviews

Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.

The submission was made in August 2022. It took three months to find reviewers for the first review, and then another three months for the review process. After the first review, there were two reviewers, one suggesting minor revisions and one disagreeing with acceptance. Finally, the editor probably requested some modifications before accepting the paper (thanks to the editor). The second round of revisions took about a month before acceptance in March 2023. Overall, the initial stages were very slow and particularly agonizing.

2023-04-24

The submission and response process took a total of five weeks. The processing speed of the journal this year is really fast. The impact factor has also increased significantly. I personally think it will stabilize in the third quartile in the future. It's still a good opportunity since it just went up. However, there is still a need for some minor innovations. Overall, it is worth submitting to.
