Do not rush to submit, submit in November 2022, follow up with the editor during the period, make minor revisions in July 2023, get it back in August, and finally accepted in April 2024. It took a year and a half

I'm anxious, I can't access the journal homepage, and there's still no news about the revised manuscript. I hope they haven't disappeared

Hello, may I add a contact method to ask you some questions about this journal?

The speed is indeed slow, but everything else is fine. Submitted in July 2022, received revision comments in May 2023, a 10-month review period. At one point, I thought there would be no more progress, but submitted revisions in June and published in July.

The review process is indeed quite slow. The manuscript was submitted in July 2022, and the review comments were received only in May 2023. In the meantime, I inquired once and was told that they were still waiting. After making revisions in June, it was resubmitted and accepted in July, and published online. The whole process took a year, which can be considered relatively smooth.

Why does the official website of this journal provide the email o.tokhi@sheffield.ac.uk, but every time I send an email, it says the email does not exist? I have tried using a NetEase email and an Outlook email, but it doesn't work. I would like to ask everyone how they contact the journal editor.

The review process is extremely slow, so I put them on the blacklist. It has been over seven months.

Did the journal reply to your request for withdrawal of the manuscript? Mine still hasn't responded to me...

The manuscript has been withdrawn, and I do not recommend submitting it. It has been a waste of nearly 8 months. One reviewer completed the review quickly, while the other reviewer has been waiting for 5 months already. Let this serve as a lesson to everyone.

I uploaded my revised paper in September 2021. When it reached one year in September this year, I couldn't help but urge for an update. I asked why I had to wait for a year for a minor revision, and he politely replied that there was another reviewer. Okay, one month later in October 2022, I urged again but didn't receive a response. In November, I urged again and still didn't get a reply. It's been a few days since I wrote a withdrawal letter, but I haven't heard anything. This journal is really amazing. Haha!

Submitted on April 8th, I have sent two reminders and it is still under review. After four months of submission, I sent the first reminder, and the editor mentioned that one reviewer has not finished the review yet. After six months of submission, I sent another reminder but haven't received a reply. If I had known earlier, I would have submitted to another journal. It's too slow.

Hello, I would like to ask if there are any other fees besides the layout fee that need to be paid?

The impact factor is approximately 1.0. I hope it rises. From submission to acceptance was about three months.  There were two careful reviews. I modified the English language. The page fee was $600.
