Latest review

First review round: 55.0 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
For a manuscript submitted in the core subject area of the journal, the editorial board couldn't find more than one reviewer. They did not even ask for suggestions from authors for more reviewers, when they couldn't find sufficient reviewers. Extremely longer time (more than a year) for review process. Rejection reasons were not absolute and strong. As a new journal, needs more stringent review process to attract more social researchers or even interdisciplinary researchers.
