Where can I find a LaTeX template? I've been searching for it all day

Not highly recommended for submission.

I was also rejected and found that everyone's reasons for rejection are the same. Be cautious in your investments.

I would like to briefly share my personal experience of submitting papers for reference:
Submitted on 16th March 22, and it was received and sent for review on the same day.
On 17th August 22, it showed that the reviewers had finished reviewing. During this period, there was no display of the review progress. I only saw that the editor had sent it to 5-8 reviewers. After reminding once, they said it was being reviewed, so I had to wait.
Rejected on 6th September 22. The opinions of the two reviewers are as follows:
Reviewer 1: The overall structure of the paper is good. The description of the basic knowledge section is redundant. The experimental and analytical parts of the manuscript lack clear control groups or other comparison indicators. Rejected. (Very vague opinion, did not point out where and what kind of control experiments and indicators are missing, not helpful for improving the paper, and also doubted whether the reviewer understood the author's experimental content)
Reviewer 2: The organization of the introduction is confusing, and the author should reorganize this part. The motivation and contribution of this work should be clarified and emphasized. Try to set the issues discussed in this paper more clearly and write a paragraph to define the problem. No decision on accepting/rejecting the manuscript was given. (Obviously, they didn't read my experiment and directly rejected it after reading the abstract and introduction)
In short, it took half a year for this journey, and what I got was two vague review opinions plus an editor's rejection. The experience was very bad. The email did not mention the possibility of appeal, so I assume that there is no way to appeal, and I am too lazy to argue with such reviewers.
I will not submit to this journal in the future.

interim decision - I recently saw the system status for the past two days, but I don't know what it means. I am also curious, thanks.

Publish over 100 articles a year. A few days ago, the submission number was close to 1500, indicating a severe backlog of manuscripts. No specific feedback was given, and two days later, it was directly rejected with a suggestion to submit to another journal. The article was not kept in reserve, and the editor was straightforward. It seems that domestic English journals are becoming increasingly competitive, so careful consideration is required when submitting unless one is an expert in the field.

May I ask how long it takes to receive the results after this status (Interim Decision), OP?

It has been over three months, and there is still no news. How are you doing?

It has been three months, and the external review results have not been returned yet. It feels like the publication's speed has slowed down a lot.

There have been 4 reviewers, and it has been over 5 months since the submission, but there has been no response.

I have been submitting to this journal for two and a half months, and the external review has been ongoing for over two months. May I ask how long it usually takes for the external reviewers to provide feedback? Thank you. Additionally, I would like to inquire about the price of the publication fee for this journal. How much does it cost for one page approximately?

Before, when I submitted, it would be very quick. After submitting the revisions, it took about a month to be accepted. After submitting the publication fee, I received the acceptance letter within approximately a month (specific time is not clear). Several months later, the manuscript was proofread. It was published in the first quarter of this year, which took 3 to 4 months from submission to acceptance and one year from acceptance to publication. It can be considered relatively fast in terms of speed within the field of SCI.

Interim decision should be the editors summarizing the reviewers' opinions, which would take approximately two weeks.

May I ask, how long does it take to check for plagiarism after the final decision stage? How long after the check do I need to pay the page fee? How long until I receive the acceptance notification?

Same question, after the final decision, how long does it take to check for plagiarism? How long after checking is the layout fee required to be paid? How long does it take to receive the acceptance notice?

How long did your interim decision last? What does it mean?

The status of the paper is Interim Decision. May I ask what does this mean? Please teach me!

Hello, may I ask how long it will take for the journal to enter the Final Decision stage, complete plagiarism check, fill in invoice information, and receive the acceptance notification?

Hiring for a small editing job, lasting for a total of 4 months. The layout fee is eight thousand, and it requires blind review. The formatting needs to be done using the journal's Word template on schedule.

Hello, I sent you a private message. I also submitted to this journal. Can we communicate about it?

The manuscript was submitted in early February this year, and review comments for major revision were given once in almost two months. I applied for an extension for the major revision, and revised it for about a month and a half, and then it was accepted after another month. The reviewer's comments were very constructive, and he pointed out some problems that could be improved in detail. After revising the article, I would feel that it was really enhanced. Specially praise the editors. They were really patient and responsible. Because it is the first time to submit to a SCI journal, I had no idea for many novice questions, but the editors still patiently answered them one by one. Thank you very much!
