The first paper had a great submission experience, taking only 30 days from submission to acceptance with four reviewers providing minor revisions before acceptance. The review process was fast, the procedures were quite standard, and the payment of review fees was also convenient. From the perspective of submission, the experience was very positive!

we are writing to inform you that we will not be able to process your submission further. submissions sent for peer-review are selected on the basis of discipline, novelty and general significance, in addition to the usual criteria for publication in scholarly journals. therefore, our decision is not necessarily a reflection of the quality of your work

Does the same thing happen if I submit it later? I have always been rejected by templates, and my teacher also said that the quality of my articles is very good

Can you please tell me if these two passages are the same or not?

The processing speed is very fast, and the editing suggestions are very professional and fair. One reviewer provides a lot of optimization suggestions for theory and experiments, while another reviewer points out many issues in the paper that I didn't even notice myself. After the review, the quality of the paper can be said to have improved.

Why are you all so quick? I submitted on 4.10, and it's still pending review until 4.23? Will urging be effective? Please guide me, seniors

The review process was quick, with three reviewers. One reviewer was overly focused on one point, but the rest were fine

When submitting a manuscript, does each author need to confirm the email sent by the editorial department (joint authorization confirmation)?

When submitting your article, does the editorial department require confirmation from each author for the email they send out?

Submission on 29th December 2023
Major revision on 7th February 2024, with 3 reviewers providing 19/3/5 comments each, allowing 10 days for revisions
Resubmission on 29th February 2024, during Chinese New Year, requesting extension from editor
Major revision on 20th March 2024, with 2 reviewers approving and 1 providing 19 additional comments, allowing 10 days for revisions
Resubmission on 26th March 2024
Acceptance on 4th April 2024
Published on 8th April 2024

Overall, the submission experience was good:
1. Due to my traditional focus, the review process was slightly slow.
2. Reviewer comments were constructive and helpful for improving the paper.
3. Assistant editor was responsible and responded to emails within 1 day.
4. Publication fee was slightly high, but payment could be made through Alipay or UnionPay credit cards. Using credit card was optional and I successfully paid with a debit card issued by my school, which was slightly cheaper than Alipay.

Wishing everyone success in getting their papers accepted!
