The first trial is one month, and the second trial is half a month. The third trial is generally not returned to the reviewer, and the editor-in-chief receives it directly.

Papers that do not meet the scope of the journal or the standards of the journal can be returned to the author before external review. In this case, the state may become a decision-making process. In this case, the author will receive a rejection notice within a few days. In this process, Editorassigned may also appear, indicating that the manuscript has been assigned to the editor or deputy editor.
