I have been receiving timely responses which really meet my expectations. All my requests for correction have been made without any delay to work together to improve the manuscript. The online submission process was also simple to upload the manuscript for consideration despite the inventory file link which cannot be seen on the dashboard page. Generally, the service I received from the open access pub team as an author was encouraging and attractive. Thank you for your quality service!
