It took almost 2 months to assign an academic editor. I submitted without understanding at first. I asked once in the middle and was told that they were actively assigning an academic editor. They wrote multiple withdrawal notices without giving any reply. Then I stopped paying attention. Suddenly received a minor revision notification, and then made the revisions. 15 days later, received an acceptance notice. The journal's theme seemed very clear, focused on wireless communication and mobile computing, which caught my attention.

During the submission period, I read many comments and opinions from others. Now that my paper can be indexed, I would like to share my experience for reference only.

I submitted the paper at the end of August 2020. It was not for a special issue (usually special issues are faster, but I had no experience with submitting before). The first-round review took a long time, and I had lost hope. However, in mid-February 2021, I suddenly received a request for revision from one reviewer. The comments were sincere, so I spent 10 days carefully making revisions during the Chinese New Year period. The second-round review took only one week, and I received the acceptance result. It took about one and a half months for the paper to be searchable after its online first publication, which coincided with my graduation. The publication fee increased in March, and mine was still $2200. However, during the period when I was preparing to pay, it increased by $100...

Two weeks after submission, all three reviewers provided their feedback. After making revisions for about a week, the revised version was submitted. A week later, we received the acceptance notification. Currently, the final proofreading has been completed, and we are waiting for publication.

Tips: It is possible that the journal we submitted to has a fast review and editorial process. However, the publication fee is a bit expensive ($2300, as stated on their official website). Additionally, their submission system may not be very user-friendly for individuals with OCD tendencies.
