Can the author be added after the first review? It's not a very important author, just add them as a secondary author. I noticed that once the reply is submitted, the author information in the system cannot be changed

Very slow... in 10 months, nearly 70 reviewers were invited, one agreed to review, but did not submit comments for 9 months. The editor was very diligent, always helping to find a second reviewer. In the end, we had to voluntarily give up submitting to this journal (still very grateful that the editor did not give up on us), and switch to another journal. Recommendation: consider submitting papers with similar themes to this journal, and that can wait for a long time. If no reviewers are found within 1 month after submission, it is appropriate to send an email to the editor, otherwise the process will be longer

Any expert with experience in submitting contributions, please give me some guidance. Could it be that I didn't receive any confirmation email similar to "Sent to the Chief Editor," which has caused the progress to stall?

Hello, the progress of my submission to this journal has also stalled. I would like to ask if you have a step called "Sent to the Chief Editor." I have been stuck at this step for 3 months

This speed is so slow, one major revision, and still unsure if it will be accepted

The journal's processing procedure is not standardized. The post-review channel for articles is not closed after the decision, resulting in papers that have already been accepted for final decision being rejected. Additionally, the journal editor refuses to communicate and selectively replies to emails. The speed of manuscript processing is highly dependent on luck. It is advised to be cautious when submitting.

Hello, may I ask if the status bar of this journal displays anything like "one reviewer agreed"? If not, it is indeed not possible to see how many reviewers have agreed to review.

Very trashy, very slow, it took thirteen months for the first review, and no response was received no matter how many emails were sent in between.
I don't know what this editor is doing, it's very slow, four reviewers,
The editor is very irresponsible.
It's really not worth it.

Have you tried closing the browser and restarting it? I encountered a similar issue in another journal and restarting solved it.

Slow, super slow. I submitted in March 2021, and it hasn't come back for the first review yet. I will withdraw the submission next week. It's garbage. When I submitted it, they required at least 7 self-citations and the manuscript format is unique. I submitted it before I graduated, and it's been half a year since I started working, and it still hasn't been reviewed. It's garbage. They have already put me on their blacklist.

Dear experts, my review is finished, but there was a problem with the system when I tried to submit the revised manuscript. When I entered the system to submit the manuscript, it didn't show up. I don't know what happened. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation, either students or teachers? Please give me some advice. This thesis is my graduation requirement, so thank you all in advance!!!

Dust has settled! After 13 months of review, it has finally been accepted! Sigh, maybe I will continue to submit in the future, but I can only choose articles that I'm not in a hurry for.

Finally, after a month, feedback was given by three reviewers! Two were accepted after modifications, and one was requested for re-evaluation after modifications.

I'm so pissed off. Does it have to be rejected by someone before the review can be finished?

And until now, they haven't provided me with any review comments. I have sent reminders for the manuscript several times, but I have never received a response! 
I really don't understand why it's taking so long. Can't the editor just forward the reviewer's comments to me? Is it so difficult to complete such a simple task?
