My Paper Formatting Journey: I spent countless hours formatting my paper according to the journal's guidelines for a Special Issue. Despite the paper's alignment with the Special Issue's theme, it was immediately rejected after the deadline due to not being in the required double-column format. This was despite the author guidelines stating that papers should be written in a single-column format.
