投稿于11月，进行小修于12月，接收于1月，出版于2月。编辑非常负责，唯一的不足是从接受到出版花费了一个多月的时间。编辑一直在纠结一些形式上的问题，反复多次修改后才最终通过。

Maybe it's just my bad luck, but I have encountered editors and junior editors who work very slowly, resulting in a poor experience.

There were very few comments from the two reviewers in the first review, and it took nearly a month for the editor to handle it. Additional reviewers were added, but another month passed without any progress.

"2022 upgraded version or return to the second zone." translates to "Upgraded version in 2022 or back to the second zone."

Research on biomarkers, a special issue was submitted. The efficiency was very high, with a first review taking 20 days and involving 4 reviewers. One of the reviewers raised many statistical questions, which required additional analysis. The second review took 4 days, with 3 reviewers providing additional comments mainly on language and formatting issues. After revisions were made, the paper was accepted within 2 days and underwent a 2-day proofreading process before being published online on the same day. The status changes in the system were as follows:

Pending review (Aug 26)
Under review (Aug 30)
Pending major revision (Sep 19)
Resubmit 1st round (Oct 4)
Pending minor revision (Oct 8)
Resubmit 2nd round (Oct 10)
Pending editor decision (Oct 10)
Accept (Oct 12)
Proof resubmit (Oct 14)

What reasons were given for the rejection of the manuscript?

I checked the current impact factor, and it has surpassed a series of well-known MDPI journals such as Nanomaterials, Pharmaceutics, and Int J Mol Sci. However, their prices are cheaper than those journals. It is estimated that the impact factor will be close to 7 or 8 in the next year. Overall, it should be the best choice among MDPI journals!

Good reputation, strict review comments, it can be considered a magazine that can pass through, an upgraded version should be able to reach the second district.

The magazine is considered to have a good reputation among MDPI, hopefully the upgraded version next year can return to the second district.

The rejection rate seems to be high, and the speed cannot be faster.

Are the two rounds of reviewers the same?

6.15 declined for publication
Declined quite quickly, doesn't delay things, that's good.

The reviewer's comments were sharp, but the overall opinion was leaning towards positive. However, in the end, the paper was rejected by the editor but encouraged for resubmission. After making revisions and conducting additional experiments based on the reviewer's comments, the paper went through two more rounds of review, which were much stricter than my stereotypical impression of MDPI. After resubmission, it took less than a month for the paper to be accepted, so the process was still quite fast.

The reviewer's comments are very sharp.

A very fast journal, costing approximately 14,000 RMB.
