I am deeply disappointed with the handling of my manuscript by Discover Applied Sciences (Springer). Although Springer promises a full APC waiver for authors from Ukraine, I received repeated payment reminders and was left in prolonged uncertainty without any clear resolution. The entire editorial process took nearly 8 months, including months of delay for even minor revisions. Due to this unprofessional handling and lack of timely communication, I was ultimately forced to withdraw my manuscript. I strongly advise future authors to be cautious when considering submission to this journal.
