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.

I have always heard that MDPI's journals are unfriendly to Chinese people, especially in the field of medicine. Any submission from domestic hospitals is instantly rejected. I decided to give it a try and, as expected, my submission was rejected on the same day. It seems like they didn't even properly review the manuscript. Anyway, if you want to submit something from China, don't have high hopes unless it's an exceptional article. Even exceptional articles can easily be accepted by other journals with a score of 7-8, but this one is a bit of a pitfall. Don't offend any influential figures in China, or you might end up on their warning list.

May I ask when you will submit for external review and how many days for submission?

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.

Hello, I would like to inquire about approximately how much money this journal would cost. As long as the content is fine, it should be quite fast, right?

Can't the special issue graduate? Is it a school regulation? I just plan to use it for graduation...

海大富 2021-11-27

This journal has regular issues and special issues. May I ask, when accepting articles, will the editor confirm with you first whether they will be published in a special issue or a regular issue? (Because special issues cannot be graduated, right?)

海大富 2021-11-27

Does the editor of this journal confirm with you first whether the article will be published in the regular issue or the special issue when it is accepted for publication?

Does this journal have regular issues and special issues? When the articles are accepted, do they first confirm with you whether it will be published in a special issue or a regular issue?

The layout fee is slightly expensive, around 14,000 RMB. There doesn't seem to be a time difference, and there is also a branch of MDPI publishing house in Wuhan. Emails sent to the editor during the day are replied to quickly.
