It took 2 months for review. One reviewer rejected it, one reviewer required minor revision, and the editor rejected it directly. I couldn’t accept the comments from the expert who rejected it, but didn’t deny the professionalism of the reviewers. However, was it just too far from the content of my own article?

The poorest journal I have ever submitted to. A person who was not in the same field was invited as a reviewer. The review lasted for 8 months, during which I spent 80% of the time explaining to reviewers. Note that it was an explanation, not a revision of the paper. In the end, the reviewer still rejected it with his unprofessional knowledge. Though the professional level of the reviewer was recognized, but at least it was necessary to find an expert in the same field. It was the last time I submitted to this journal. And I waisted 8 months on it. The reviewer’s revision comments were not so correct, and some parts of the manuscript had to be changed when transferring to other journals. A real junk journal.

Posted on 2022.1.17, two reviewers were assigned.
Rejected on 2022.2.21.
The rejection reason was extremely weak. Both reviewers were completely unrelated to the field and their questions were like nonsense. They couldn't even understand the article. Even though I presented the results, they asked me, "Where is the basis for this conclusion?" The basis is in the results, damn it! They forcefully claimed that my article lacked logic, and the paid formatting and references were considered irregular. It's truly ridiculous!
I believe the rejection reason is unreasonable and I appeal.
Successful appeal on 2022.3.3, another review, this time with only one reviewer. Rejected again on 2022.4.2, reason being poor language.
Another reviewer who couldn't understand the article, couldn't provide any constructive questions, and finally used poorly constructed Chinglish to say my language was poor. I paid for proofreading, can you at least look at your own Chinglish before criticizing others' language in the article?
In short, it's a terrible journal. CIMS forcibly classified it as a second-tier journal, and I thought of supporting some domestic journals, but it turns out they are all crap. Later, I transferred my article to another journal, made minor revisions, and it was directly accepted. JOL can go to hell!

is too garbage, submitted for 6 months to find the reviewThe manuscript, a minor repair, a direct refusal or actually written in Chinese, I really don't know how to find the reviewer, the editor is actually directly rejected, and does not judge
