Microorganisms

Posted on October 20, 2022, first revision on November 6, 2022, second revision returned on December 8, 2022, article accepted on December 14, 2022, and article published on December 20, 2022. The journal is mainly focused on microbiology and belongs to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Zone 3. All publications are special issues (selected during submission, not assigned by the editor) and affiliated with MDPI. The speed is fast. The research of the article is in the direction of antimicrobial activity of microemulsions. The article processing speed is relatively fast with two reviewers who are quite professional and provide detailed questions. The first revision required additional experiments and only provided a 10-day deadline, which was too tight. I requested an extension of 15 days from the editor. The second revision was a minor one. From submission to publication, the article took exactly two months.

The magazine is fast-paced. I am engaged in research on silage feed, which may involve the impact of condensed tannins on silage microorganisms, which is relatively niche. The paper was written according to the template provided by the magazine. The relevant raw data, sequencing data, and appendix tables were uploaded together. It was submitted on March 29, 2022, and the next day the editor put it under review. On April 15, the first reviewer's comments were minor revisions, with a total of 10 points raised by two experts. The editor's comment indicated "accept after minor review". The revisions were completed and submitted on the same day, April 16, and the editor accepted the article directly on that day.
