Submitted the first draft on October 22, 2019, with four rounds of revisions, the first major revision, the second minor revision, and two additional revisions due to language and detail issues. Due to the slow reviewing process, it has become very laid-back. Finally, it was accepted on January 1, 2021, making the entire process last for 14 months and 9 days. Such a speed is difficult for many people to tolerate. In reality, JM has a very low publication volume each year, but the quality of the published papers varies, indicating that traditional journals are facing fierce challenges to their source of manuscripts. Hopefully, JM can avoid sinking.
