Biosensors-Basel

The journal has just released its impact factor. It is a multidisciplinary journal that includes both review articles and research papers. The reviewers are quite responsible, with three reviewers for the first review. The result was major revision, and they requested a return of the revised manuscript within 10 days. The efficiency is quite high. The second review requires minor revisions, and the authors are given 3 days to make the revisions. Once the revisions are made, the manuscript is accepted. The quality of the journal is good, but the only downside is that there is a fee for publication. This is unavoidable for open-access journals. However, the speed of publication is relatively fast.

From submission to receiving the reviewer's comments, it took a total of 24 days. In the process, one reviewer rejected it because they felt that the direction was not suitable. Another reviewer was then sought, and they requested minor revisions followed by major revisions. After 10 days of major revisions, it was resubmitted, and the minor revisions were provided the same morning. The minor revisions were submitted the same evening, and acceptance was given after 4 days. In total, it took 38 days from submission to acceptance.
