Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering

First time submitting to SCI, I feel that this journal is very efficient and it's most comfortable when it doesn't drag on. Previously, only one paper in the same field was accepted, so I submitted to a special issue. The impact factor for 2020 is 2.08, it seems like it has been 1.5 in the previous years. I am looking forward to the Chinese Academy of Sciences upgrading it to the third tier this year. Below is the sharing of the review process:

August 26, 2021 - Submitted
One week later, it passed the initial review of the editorial board, and the editor sent an email informing that the paper is under review.
October 12, 2021 - Major revisions, both reviewers' comments are very good, and I am very grateful to one of the reviewers for pointing out several grammatical errors in the paper.
October 20, 2021 - Added a few experiments and polished the paper, revised it.
October 22, 2021 - Accepted and notified to pay $1000, feeling that the price is very friendly.

From submission to acceptance took a total of three months, with the Lunar New Year holiday causing some delay in the editing process. Overall, the review speed was quite fast, and the reviewers were generally professional. The publication fee was $800. The journal specializes in mathematical biology, with a moderate difficulty level and a reasonable speed. It is recommended for submitting articles in the appropriate field.
