Drawn back before first editorial decision after 215.0 days
Drawn back
2025
Motivation:
The submission system showed that the submission passed tech check and an editor has been assigned before 10 Oct 2024. However, there was no further progress until May 2025. After contacting the editorial office, I was astonished to learn that in fact, no editor has been assigned until May 2025. Spending over half a year without even an initial assessment (either a desk rejection or an editor assignment) was truly disappointing.

Motivation:
The manuscript was sent out for review after 2 weeks. Only one reviewer agreed to review, but did not send in their review. 2 new reviewers were invited after 4 months. Both reviewers used a very short time on the review (1 day and 12 days), and both reviews were very short, superficial and seemed rushed.

Motivation:
I waited for more than three months and still indicate editor invited. Horrible experience. Do not recommend for any one to consider this journal.

Despite one positive and one negative review, the editor did not provide us with an opportunity to respond to the latter.

Motivation:
Communication was extremely poor. After numerous emails approximately 5 months after submission, the journal finally responded to say they were looking for a second reviewer. The editor was very unresponsive, and did not offer the authors the option of suggesting further reviewers.
