This journal adopts double-blind review mode, which is very fair and just, and this is a very big highlight of the journal, especially for the quality of the articles in the journal, which is very good. Each article has a very large amount of information, and the work is comprehensive and systematic. May (the impact factor of) EnSM breaks 20 as soon as possible.

The double-blind mode guarantees the justice and fairness of ESM journals to the maximum extent, which is a great highlight and progress. The level of the articles here is also very high. It would be great if the requirements for typesetting mode and image quality are higher. I heard that the rejection rate is very high.

I also had two rounds of revisions with the editor, and it has been 6 days since the second round without any updates. May I ask how it turned out in the end, sir?

My manuscript has also been revised twice with the editor. It has been 6 days since the second revision, but there has been no response yet. Do you think there is hope for it?

This submission made me truly realize that without big names and endorsements from sub-journals, the path of scientific research becomes even harder to navigate. 

I am grateful to Academician Cheng Huiming and the double-blind review system of ESM, which gives us, research workers without prestigious titles, a chance to have our hard work fairly evaluated. 

Thank you to the efficient editors and reviewers at ESM, who, when I was almost in despair, brought me the first ray of goodwill in the new year. 

If you are currently facing obstacles in submitting papers or setbacks in scientific research, I hope this post can offer you some comfort. 

I have also stumbled and fallen, submitting manuscripts for almost half a year. A topic that was originally innovative ended up being drowned in countless similar articles due to endless reviews. 

When you start to doubt yourself, I hope my experience can offer you a little bit of weak encouragement.

12.15 The second revision has been returned with editor (all reviewers agreed with the first revision, but because the Table of Contents has a reviewer's concern about potential infringement of portrait rights, they asked for a change in the TOC).
It's been 14 days already, why is it still with the editor? Did they forget to edit it?
