Everyone, be careful. This journal is not only expensive, but its impact factor and ranking have dropped significantly. None of the published papers are included in Web of Science (WOS). I thought it was because my paper was just published, but later I checked and found that even papers published in 2023 are not included. You can't even find it on Google Scholar. Trying to use it for academic promotion, but without WOS indexing, no one recognizes it. What a loss...

No, I shouldn't. I have read some articles and they are all indexed.

I have already published in this journal, but I found that it cannot be retrieved in Google Scholar and WOC. I also checked and found that none of their papers from the past 23 years can be retrieved. Oh my god, what is going on with this?

Where can I download the Latex template for this journal? The official website only has a word template

It has been almost a week since the second review, and I am extremely anxious. The longer the EIC status drags on, the more dangerous it becomes. Everyone is in the last round of EIC status for a few days

This journal is incredibly slow, it's been a month already and they haven't even found all the reviewers yet. It still says "Awaiting Reviewer Assignment". Are the editors dead or what?

Opposing the 6th floor, it has been the longest time, stop blowing it from afar. This journal published several special issues last year, and the editorial department has accumulated a pile of articles that have not been reviewed in time. Since HCIS separated from Springer and became managed by Koreans, can they handle it? Do they have the capability?

At first glance, the review speed of this journal seems fast, but upon closer inspection, it is actually quite slow. Fast Track (Fourteen Weeks, 14 weeks) and Regular Track (Thirty Weeks, 30 weeks), but it will never exceed this time. The official website of this journal only provides the longest time, not the average time.

I advise classmates who are eager to graduate not to consider this journal, especially its special issue. The official website claims that the notification will be given within four weeks, but in reality, it takes more than three to four months. Moreover, these three to four months are only spent on selecting reviewers.

Has there been any result yet? How is the speed of reviewing?
