Submit the manuscript in February 2025, send it for external review the next day, receive external review comments in about three weeks, four reviewers provide positive feedback, editor requests minor revisions to be completed within 5 days, which is a tight deadline. Although each reviewer's comments were not extensive, it still took a lot of time to make revisions. After the revisions were made, the manuscript was not sent for another round of review, and it was accepted a few days later. Overall, the experience was very positive, except for the high publication fee, which was nearly 20,000 RMB, and the unexpected change in the journal's ranking after publication. Despite these challenges, the manuscript met the graduation requirements, and I feel very lucky and grateful for the outcome.

It's a pity that the submission before the revision was rejected. Four reviewers revised a total of 80 pages of response letters.

The submission was made on December 25, 2024, and it should have been under review on the same day. During this period, there were Christmas and Spring Festival holidays. On February 5, 2025, minor revisions were requested, with a deadline of 5 days for feedback. Four reviewers provided nearly 40 detailed comments. The revised manuscript was submitted on February 7, and accepted on February 11. Overall, the process was very fast.

10.10 rejected
Reviewer 1 2can 1must 2not think that the innovation is not enough, English needs to be revised, and the figures need to be improved.
Reviewer 2 3yes 2can believe English needs to be revised, and the figures need to be improved.
There was no chance to make changes, it looks like 2 may have been given minor revisions or accepted for publication, as they were only issues with language or figures. 1 may have been given major revisions or rejection.
Can only freeload on some review comments and submit to a non-OA journal, save money, over 20,000 RMB is still too expensive.
