Aims and Scope
Crystals (ISSN 2073-4352) is an open access journal that covers all aspects of crystalline material research. Crystals can act as a reference, and as a publication resource, to the community. It publishes reviews, regular research articles, and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on article length. Full experimental details must be provided to enable the results to be reproduced. Crystals provides a forum for the advancement of our understanding of the nucleation, growth, processing, and characterization of crystalline materials. Their mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties, and their diverse applications, are all considered to be of importance.

Verified Reviews
My own opinion is: I just want to spend money to get a graduate degree. These review comments seem to strictly adhere to Q2 requirements, which are completely different from what I have seen online.
Currently, it is still pending decision, which means there is a high possibility of rejection. In the previous comments, there were senior reviewers who said, "Only correctness matters, not innovation. Even screenshots of software can be published." I believe in that. However, I took my figures seriously and calibrated the TEM diffraction spots. I can only say that people are now very anxious. Has Crystals changed? It doesn't seem like the so-called "low-tier journal" is low at all.
