Although being put on a blacklist is a low-level warning, it is indeed a bit excessive. Perhaps it is due to the significant increase in the number of articles posted by Chinese people on buildings in the past year, but the quality of the journal's articles is still acceptable.

Did MDPI's journals take turns issuing warnings? It's outrageous.

Bowen Zhao 2023-01-31

Why did this journal provoke the Chinese Academy of Sciences? It publishes less than 700 articles in a year, so why did it end up on the blacklist?

My December just got published, awkward!!!!

SaxArchiDong 2023-01-31

This publication is finished. It should not have been invested in the first place, and after investing, it has been put on the watchlist.

Received: 27 November 2022
Revised: 18 December 2022 (Three rounds of minor revisions, three reviewers, the third round involved a chat, really thankful to them)
Accepted: 28 December 2022 (Also had a one-week Christmas break, editors really worked hard)
Published: 31 December 2022

The reviewers we found were very professional, their comments were very targeted, and everyone was very patient and wrote a lot. We are really grateful to them. The article improved significantly after the revisions, it really is a great magazine.

Most likely so... pitiful.

The zoning will be announced soon. In 2023, there will be no basic version, only an upgraded version. The basic version of this journal is divided into three zones, while the upgraded version is divided into four zones. Will the upgraded version still have four zones in 2023?

The review process was very fast, and the publication online was also quick. The reviewers' comments were also quite fair. This journal, MPDI, is considered to have relatively good quality. Hopefully, it will be able to improve its impact factor next year.

I'm fine, I also got rejected. I'm in a similar situation as you. In the end, one of the reviewers disagreed, and the editor asked me to revise and resubmit. It's really frustrating to face unreasonable demands from reviewers. They asked me to change from static analysis to dynamic analysis, and even after explaining it to them seriously, they rejected my changes and refused to accept my submission. It's really outrageous.

安妮 2022-11-05

I replied to you. I haven't been on this website for the past few months because I have been very busy. Sorry about that...

安妮 2022-11-05

Completed two rounds of revisions.
The reason for rejection was because it reached the third round: the third reviewer disagreed with acceptance, while the other two reviewers agreed to accept. (There is also one crucial point: the editor asked me to add two references, which I did not include (I did not know it was necessary, as I have no experience in submitting articles). Therefore, the editor requested that I add those two references and resubmit the article.
I wrote the manuscript myself, without guidance from my two supervisors.
Now I am rushing to finish my doctoral thesis, which I will submit in January next year. After submitting my doctoral thesis, I will apply for a post-doctoral position. At that time, I will have time to resubmit this article.
I still have two manuscripts that I have not submitted because I must submit my doctoral thesis in January next year...
I really want to delete "rejected after submission"...

May I ask what the reason for your rejection is? I have also undergone two major revisions and I'm currently anxiously waiting for the results. Out of the four reviewers, one of them disagreed.

lhkuan 2022-10-20

The review process is fast and quite professional. The major revisions are given 10 days, while the minor revisions only have 5 days. The final proofreading is required to be returned within 24 hours, showing a very high efficiency!

念无极 2022-10-01

Water is a publication, and this kind of OA journal is mostly classified as a third or fourth tier by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

SaxArchiDong 2022-09-27

It should be in Zone 4, sigh. Actually, I feel that the publication is not bad. Architecture is considered as Q1. Why is the Chinese Academy of Sciences' ranking so low?

SCI确实容易呵 2022-08-23

This journal is good.

YUU 2022-08-18

May I ask if "Under Processing" is the status displayed after you submit? Where can I check the progress?

Dr.Shu0411 2022-08-16

Yes, oh, very fast, oh.

How long did it take for your submission to be rejected, and what was the reason for the rejection?

白天666 2022-07-01

Hello, may I ask if when submitting revision suggestions, do I need to submit a separate revised draft to each reviewer? Should I submit the response letter to the reviewer and the revised manuscript directly to the system?

Just reject me directly, the impact factor for 2021 is around 3.3.

Temyon 2022-06-13

I didn't pay attention first, then the editor will send the proofreading draft, which will mention this. You just need to supplement that content.
