"The overall editorial and publication process was satisfactory; however, the interval between final manuscript acceptance and definitive publication was considerably longer than expected. Shortening the post-acceptance production timeline would substantially improve the author experience, particularly given that, at this stage, the manuscript has already completed peer review and all substantive editorial requirements. A more efficient transition from acceptance to online publication would therefore be highly appreciated."
