Regrettably, my experience with the editorial process has been highly negative. The manuscript was initially accepted for publication, and I was duly notified and provided with the galley proofs for correction. Months later, however, I was informed that the article could not be published as it allegedly did not comply with the journal's editorial guidelines—despite the fact that I had already reviewed and returned the corrected proofs. Following a subsequent revision of the manuscript and a second formal notification of acceptance, I was informed weeks later of an allegation stating the manuscript had been generated using AI. I promptly and thoroughly addressed these claims. Thereafter, the galley proofs were resent to me once again. I am deeply disappointed by the handling of the peer-review and editorial process regarding my manuscript, as well as by the extensive and unwarranted delays incurred
