In addition, I contribute to a younger brother. His teacher suggested that he translate a course paper into English and publish it. He asked me to help him translate and recommended an English periodical for submission. I sent the titles and abstracts of his papers to the editors who contacted me, and they recommended three journals related to this field. My younger brother chose Social Networking. After online submission, it took about two months from preliminary examination, revision, review, employment, payment, submission of final draft and receipt of proofreading draft.
The communication in the process of submission and publication is mainly English mail, and the status of the manuscript can also be seen through the online system. However, it is faster to send an email directly if there is a problem, and the editor will follow up to remind the progress in each link. If you want to ask some questions before submitting, you can leave a message online on the website and reply quickly.
