Tip 1: Decision-making? Letter? Existence? It's always a tragedy to come prepared, that is, the editor decides for himself and doesn't look for a reviewer. First, it may be that English is poor and needs language sci to polish it. Secondly, it may be that the content is too poor.

4.? Down there? Peer review: In peer review, the waiting time of this process is relatively long.
