Submitted in May 23, accepted in May 24. The time consumed was for Ready for editor's decision, which usually takes 2 months. After acceptance, immediately instruct the corresponding author to apply for cover APC (the corresponding author received an email about converting the expired journal to OA in May 24). Two days later, received a reply, obtained a "flip token" and informed how to use it. Three weeks after acceptance, received an email for verification and payment, enter the "flip token" to make it free. Thank you for sharing information on this platform during the long submission process of this journal!!

About half a month, you first need to find the email that was forwarded to OA at the end of last October, and then apply for the exemption through that email

How long does the editorial process take after acceptance now? I haven't received the email about choosing the publishing method and the galley proof. I submitted my manuscript in May 2023, opting for non-OA

Waited for nearly a year. All emails received were official responses. Thinking about pulling the submission, but got rejected. Sigh

Submitting to this magazine is really nerve-wracking

Can someone please teach me how to exempt APC? When I submitted in 23, it was still non-oa, how did it become oa now? Please enlighten me, experts

Withdraw the submission quickly, they withdrew it in just one day, but it took five months to assign an editor. This operation is still not obvious. Hurry up and withdraw, just want to make money

Are you looking at the submission system? The submission system hasn't been showing specific status since the end of February. If your submission is not accepted, it means it has been rejected through technical review.

It has been more than 3 months for me, and I am still in the technical review stage, debating whether to withdraw the submission or not

After submitting for a year without receiving any comments from the first review, and still in the technical review stage, I decided to withdraw my submission

I have certainly searched for it, there must be something related to my AI direction. Do you think everyone is innocent and splashing around? Why are you mindlessly criticizing? Can this journal be compared to CNS?

Are you choosing the open-source option? I also specialize in artificial intelligence

Due to being submitted in 2022, exemptions can be applied for being accepted after being open-sourced. I originally wanted to take advantage of some benefits after open-sourcing, but after waiting for the initial review comments for nearly two years, these last few days, it was unexpectedly withdrawn by the editorial department, without even receiving a single review comment. I have never been rejected when submitting to this journal before, but in the end, this submission was withdrawn, fortunately allowing me to continue my history of not being rejected. The fees for open-source publications are incredibly expensive, and now it is no longer feasible to associate with this journal. I can't understand why a reputable, long-established journal would choose to go open-source. Although the impact factor is not high, it is still a reputable journal, and after going open-source, it will likely face criticism and opposition within the country.
