The journal has a very fast processing speed, taking only 2 months from submission to acceptance. Currently, it is scheduled up to 2025.

The submission made on November 12 underwent format changes for three days. On November 15, November 18, and November 24, the status was "Editor Assigned" with three date changes during this period. On November 28, the editor provided professional editing suggestions, requested data supplementation, and suggested revisions before submission. A revise was submitted on December 7, and the editor was assigned on December 9. When can it be submitted for review? Can it be accepted before the end of March?

Has the issue been resolved? I am stuck here too. Is there anything else that needs to be improved in the author checklist?

I would like to ask the host, this journal requires an author checklist. I submitted as SI, but why was it returned to me saying that the information is incomplete? Do I need to submit images separately? Are there any materials that must be submitted?

Hello, I would like to ask if you can provide editable documents, are the edits written in the congratulatory acceptance email? Also, how do you submit the editable documents?

After my article was accepted by this journal, they requested for an editable manuscript. Where should I submit it? Should I send it via email? Or should I submit it on the official website?

Review speed: 12.0 | Submission acceptance rate: 50.0
Emphasized research areas: Rhizosphere; environment; soil microbiology
Experience sharing: Submitted at the end of January, accepted at the end of September, went through two major revisions and one minor revision. The review process was quite long, so it is advised to avoid submitting if time is limited. However, as my first journal submission, I am grateful

During the submission process, there is a blank space that allows you to provide additional comments or supplementary information. You can simply copy and paste the content of your cover letter into that space, as there is currently no separate channel for submitting cover letters.
