On April 22th Submission to Journal; on April 30th Under review; on May 18th Under editor evaluation; on May 20th Major revision. Two reviewers had 11 questions in total, and there was no need to make additional experiments; on June 8th Submission to Journal; on June 23th Required Reviews Completed; on June 27th Minor revision, a small issue; on June 29th Submission to Journal; on July 3st Accept; on July 7th Online. Many comments said that the review was too slow or required a relationship, so I was too scared to submit a manuscript to it. Unexpectedly, editor and reviewer processed surprisingly fast. Overall, I feel that this journal is very good. It does not have such high requirements for innovation, but it requires a more systematic, detailed, logical, and strict format. Specially, I would like to thank the associate editor Gustavo Rivas and the editor Dmitri Papkovsky for being able to take the new scientific researcher seriously, who had no relationship and no background.

SCI journal. Submitted December 17, the first review cycle took more than four months. In mid-April, I received the first opinions, and gave the paper 2 months of overhaul. There were 4 reviewers. They wanted more experiments, but after the experiments didn’t go smoothly, I applied for two extensions, which were granted for 2 months and revised for a total of 4 months, until July 31.The second review was still quite slow and it took more than three months. On October 17, I submitted my revisions. Three reviewers agreed to accept, but there was still a disagreement and I was told that I did not give the data the other reviewer wanted. So I revised it again for a period of three weeks. It was a very serious overhaul and the hard-working editor and the reviewer both looked at it. so although the data given was not satisfactory, our impression was still very good and I was given the opportunity for minor repairs. On November 8, the minor repairs were made and on November 10, it was submitted for review. On  November 13th, it was accepted. Waiting for those months was torment, the review process lasted nearly a year until my paper was finally accepted! Your patience and efforts will definitely pay off.

From submission on 1.28 until now, it has been almost two months. Both the editor and the reviewers have been very efficient, and the quality of the article has been greatly improved after the revisions. Thanks to editor Peter A. Lieberzeit, and I hope SNB will continue to improve and break through an Impact Factor of 10!

It's really funny how rejection reasons are so diverse. Mine is just because of lack of sensitivity.

It's hard to put into words, the journal kept looking for reviewers, out of 11 only one reviewed, and in the end, it was rejected for not being in line with the journal's content. So sad.

Submission for review within 1 week after submission, with 4 reviewers in the first round: 3 major revisions and 1 minor revision. Reviewers provided many comments. The second round was submitted before the deadline, with another 10 days for review. All reviewers agreed to accept it. The quality of SNB's reviews has significantly improved compared to previous years.
