The editing process is extremely slow, half a year has passed, and they are still sending emails asking for revisions and uploading new manuscripts, which is shocking.

There are indeed reasons on my part, insufficient preparation. I provided my timeline, hoping to alert everyone.

Submitted on 5.31, indicated conference to journal, cited conference version and compared, introduction also explained major changes. Cover letter noted.
Returned on 6.4 as draft, supplemented material issue, also found a preprint that I needed to explain.
Replied on 6.6 and informed that the preprint was not my paper.
Returned on 6.7 again due to preprint issue. I directly wrote to the editor, the system mixed up another paper with mine.
Editor responded on 6.8, resolved the issue, asked for resubmission. Handled.
Asked for conference version PDF on 6.11. Handled.
Asked for explanation of author list changes on 6.13. Handled.
Said they would confirm with authors on 6.14.
Asked to add conference to journal explanation to acknowledgment on 6.22. Handled.
Editor rejected on 7.3, reason being errors found...

【1】Errors pointed out by the editor were not visible to me, probably due to formatting issues caused by Word (this is my own fault for not using LaTeX consistently).
【2】When submitting to other journals, there were not as many requirements, so the back and forth mentioned above is something I will avoid in the future.
However... couldn't the editor have skipped this round of rejection and been less busy...

It should be within a month, but I forgot the exact time

Okay, thank you so much. May I ask how long it took from the second review submission to the final result?

If you are not in a hurry, you can wait. It is common to encounter one or two re-submissions now

Is everything going well with the follow-up? I have now received emails for both the first revision and the second revision. I am worried that it will take a long time. I am torn about whether to withdraw the submission

This kind of email has appeared twice, the article was resubmitted both times and new reviewers were invited to re-evaluate

Hello, what's up with you? I received this email just like you after the second round of revisions and it has been nine days since then, I'm still in AE

The submission on 2024/04/07 is still unassigned. I thought the open source would be faster, but it's slower than expected. If you are in a hurry, please do not submit

Has it been accepted after re-submission?

I have also encountered this situation, most likely to be re-examined

Nine days after the second review, I received an email: It is taking us longer than expected to send you an editorial decision for your manuscript. As standard practice, we perform rigorous peer review integrity checks as part of the editorial process. These checks can sometimes incur delays. We wanted to inform you that we are still working to send you an editorial decision as soon as possible. Does anyone know what this means? The current status is still pending approval

It has been two months since we invited and submitted

Received email on 7.29: Now that all the checks of your files have been completed, we are pleased to inform you that your manuscript is moving into production to ready it for publication online.

Currently, the system shows "published," but the payment has not been notified yet.

Record the schedule of submission and provide reference for other classmates and teachers:
4.30: Submitted
5.8: All issues resolved
5.11: Deputy editor assigned
Continuously looking for academic editors AE invited and submitted, bouncing back and forth twice
5.29: Found one
5.30: Under review
6.6: Update: Entered pending approval on 6.5
6.18: Major revision
6.28: Submitted after revision, randomly entered under review
7.11: Pending approval
7.26: Accepted for publication

The recent trend of H Publishing: The time spent in the editorial department is long, but the speed of entering external review is accelerated. This paper is no exception. It took a month to enter external review. The total time for two rounds of review does not exceed 20 days, and with my revision time, the entire review process for this paper does not exceed 30 days, leaving several dozen days waiting for news from the editorial department.

May I ask what statuses are available? Mine has always been "submitted" and it does not show "under review."

The editor is very responsible, and the four reviewers are also very professional. Experts' opinions on the research content are very pertinent and hit the key points of the paper, which is very helpful for improving the quality of the paper. The editor also provided the opportunity for major revisions. After revising based on the expert's opinions, it was accepted. The journal requires British English and has high language requirements. It is best to proofread it.

The journal is quite fast after being open source:
1-21 Submission
2-12 Major revision
3-23 Minor revision
3-30 Acceptance
The research topic is quite niche, with only two reviewers. Due to the lack of previous comparisons, the reviewers were not satisfied with the comparison section. After making the modifications, the reviewers still had some suggestions, but the editor decided to accept the paper, which made me very happy. The journal requires British English and prefers proofreading.

A very professional journal, although it has a low impact factor, it is classified as a third quartile in the JCR. The editor is very responsible, extremely rigorous, and efficient.
Speed: There were two major revisions and two minor revisions. The first external review took 2 and a half months, but subsequent external reviews did not exceed one month.
Review: There are a total of 5 reviewers, among which two are reliable, providing professional and relevant comments. The other three are not very reliable, as their comments only suggest adding references.
Recommendation: It is recommended to have a native speaker proofread the English before submitting the manuscript.
