Unified reply: The deadline for submitting the special issue is May 2024. You can submit your contribution before the deadline. After submission, it will go through the review process. If it passes the peer review, it will be accepted, and the process takes approximately one month. It does not mean that acceptance will only happen after the deadline.

Hello, may I ask what is the theme of the special issue and when is the submission deadline?

oysz 2023-07-16

Hello, I noticed that you published a special issue in Entropy, and I would like to inquire about submission matters.

Very fast speed, the initial review was completed within 13 days. There were two reviewers, one was very proactive, while the other one seemed to have not carefully reviewed the manuscript and was relatively negative.

Unified Reply: The acceptance direction is broad. Students who have doubts about whether their direction is in line with the requirements can add me and send a summary. After the paper is accepted, it will be published and indexed in the same way as regular issues in the MDPI official statement. Both special issues and regular issues are considered regular issues, so they are indexed and treated the same as regular issues. The Web of Science (WOS) database does not include the "SI" label.

I will reply to private messages within one to two days. Please check for my response in a timely manner if you have messaged me. If you are interested, you can apply to have your paper listed as a planned paper, and the journal editor will prioritize the initial review and peer review.

23.5.23 Papier angenommen

Translation: 23.5.23 Paper accepted

Xyj_swu 2023-05-22

23.5.22 Revised vision received (12:32 PM)
23.5.22 Pending editor decision (When checked in the afternoon, the status had changed to waiting for the editor's decision. All four reviewers had no further comments in the third round. In general, reaching this status on Tieba means it's almost there, looking forward to it.)

Xyj_swu 2023-05-22

Undergraduate student, computer vision
23.4.12 Submitted
23.4.13 Under review
23.4.30 Pending major revision (21 comments in total from three reviewers, with the last two reviewers requesting additional references. The first two reviewers' questions and comments were relatively mild, while the third reviewer's were more critical)
23.5.5 Received comments from the fourth reviewer. The tone and questions seem unfavorable, clearly coming from someone knowledgeable in the field. They raised 8 challenging points, requiring the inclusion of 4 references and additional algorithm comparison experiments. I requested an extension for the revision from the assistant editor. The editor was patient and kind, granting an extension until 5.18 (originally expected to be around 5.10, considering 4.30 plus 10 days).
23.5.16 Submitted revised manuscript. It took more than half a month to make changes, including many additional experiments, especially to address the requests from the fourth reviewer. However, these changes indeed improved the quality of the paper, which went from 13 pages in the initial draft to 18 pages. I wrote a thorough response letter, totaling 21 pages (being an undergraduate student, I felt the need to be humble and answered many questions in detail, hehe).
23.5.19 Pending minor revision. Reviewers 1, 2, and 3 all agreed to accept the paper (Reviewer 1 did not provide a second-round comment, while Reviewers 2 and 3 mentioned that the paper had been carefully revised and could be accepted in its current form). Reviewer 4 raised three minor issues.

Hello, I would like to ask if you used his Word template when you submitted it?

Overall, the level of the reviewers for this journal is quite high. The speed is slower compared to other MDPI journals but definitely faster than Springer, IEEE, and other similar journals.

23.05.02 pending minor decision

23.05.09 accept (Paid 2000 enamel, 14,750 RMB)
23.05.09 pending English
This journal does not require code submission, but some reviewers are not very friendly, and some even reject for the sake of rejection (which I encountered).
Reviewer 3 is particularly difficult, but fortunately Reviewers 1 and 2 agreed to accept. The whole process took a long time, going through four rounds of review and three rounds of revisions (because Reviewer 3 kept holding on). The reviewer's level is still worthy of recognition, with a high level of expertise. Initially uploaded 21 pages, and after acceptance, it became 28 pages.
PS: Reviewer 3 seems to be a statistics major, so statistics students should take note (this reviewer is a reviewer in the system).

+努力努力再努力 2023-05-09

This journal does not require code submission, but some reviewers are not very friendly, and some even reject manuscripts just for the sake of rejection (I experienced it myself). Anyway, Reviewer 3 is just being difficult in various ways, but fortunately Reviewers 1 and 2 agreed to accept it. The whole process took quite a long time, with four rounds of review and three rounds of revisions (all because of Reviewer 3's insistence). The reviewers' expertise and professionalism are still commendable. The initial submission was 21 pages, and it was accepted with 28 pages.
PS: Reviewer 3 seems to be from the statistics field, so statistics students should be careful.

Hello, may I ask if you have submitted a special issue or a regular issue? Is the regular issue also this fast?

爱吃花生的猫咪 2023-04-25

Can computer cross biomedicine? Can computer vision be applied?

What computer network security fields does the special issue cover? Can the special issue be searched?

What specific aspect of computational law is your research focused on?

一夜奇梦 2023-04-16

Entropy has published a special issue, and the acceptance difficulty is not high. Now it is open to scholars for submission. The main focus is on interdisciplinary research in information theory and other disciplines, such as the internet, financial markets, biomedicine, robot control, information physics systems, network science, power systems, and other areas of modeling and state perception research. The goal is to provide effective methods and tools for solving practical problems. The topics include but are not limited to: modeling methods for multi-physical field in complex systems, data-driven state perception methods, state measurement and fault analysis methods, new energy systems, smart grids, and modeling applications such as digital twins of equipment. Submissions are welcome, and for more detailed information, please feel free to contact me.

23.3.13. submitted
23.3.14 under review
23.3.30 under review The feedback has come back, one reviewer said Yes, another reviewer said Yes, four reviewers said they can be very positive. One reviewer rejected my paper saying that I did not clearly explain the motivation, I don't know what will happen next.
23.3.31 pending decision (currently unsure of the outcome), I really hope my child can graduate.

2.27 major revisions
3.15 resubmitted
3.21 accepted for publication

To be honest, I didn't expect to have major revisions in the first review and then get accepted directly in the second review. After reading the comments from the second review, the reviewer's evaluation was quite positive, indicating that the attitude towards the revisions was serious. The content of the article was modified by about 70% to 80%. Moreover, the first review criticized the poor English and lack of polishing... I used ChatGPT for proofreading in the revised version, and the effect was amazing.

问文博 2023-03-02

May I ask how long does it usually take for "Pending review" to change to "Under review"?

Davison 2023-02-22

It is more challenging than being recognized by IEEE Access, to submit to Entropy.

行则将至 2023-02-05

How about ACCESS? Is it the same? Currently, I am using it for my master's degree and in the future, I may also plan to do academic research.

苹果66 2023-02-05

It would be better to invest less in MDPI's computer. It can only be used for graduation and make-do purposes.

行则将至 2023-02-05

Computer vision related, the special issue on entropy, but it pays attention to the fact that entropy is a major category in physics. I want to ask everyone, is computer science recognized as a major?

Are there any Pending editor decisions that have lasted for more than 7 days after major repairs? Most decisions seem to be made within one or two days, so what is the situation when it takes more than 7 days?
