Recently, there have been people saying that BMC is a low-quality publication. Sigh, it's tiring and I don't feel good about it either. It's difficult to address the reviewers' comments. They require a complete data chain, so I added a few experiments. I hope the journal improves over time. The impact factor seems fine, but the publication fee is indeed expensive, and I was unable to apply for any discounts.

After submission, the editor was assigned the next day and the review was sent on the third day. The first reviewer took 15 days to provide feedback. After that, we waited for the second reviewer. After a month and a half, we consulted the editor about the review process. At that time, they said they couldn't find a second reviewer and asked us to wait longer. After one day, based on the comments from the first reviewer, we were given the opportunity to make major revisions and supplement experiments. It took another half a month to revise and resubmit. After the revision, it was accepted in 8 days. If the reviewers were found faster, it wouldn't have taken so long. I hope the journal will continue to improve.

Currently under revision, the reviewers are very professional and have reviewed it very carefully, requesting additional experiments.

OA journals, page fees are 17,000. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is a partner of BMC, and after fee discounts and payments from research institutions, the actual cost incurred by our group is a little over 6,000.

Thank you, nice Tsinghua editor, for allowing me to graduate smoothly.
The submission process is as follows:
12.3 submit
12.4 editor assigned
12.4 editor invited
12.5 reviewers invited
12.5 Under Review
12.14 reviews completed
12.21 major revision
The first draft of the paper was rushed and poorly written. There were five reviewers, and the editor and two reviewers found it interesting. One reviewer found it eye-catching, and another reviewer found it valuable. They all pointed out several suggestions for improvement and requested additional control experiments.
After two months of major revisions, the entire paper was basically rewritten. Letpub provided language polishing, and several experiments were added. Only one-third of the control experiments requested by the reviewers were completed due to the excessive number of requests. Afterward, the revised manuscript was submitted.

Upon receiving feedback from the three reviewers, two accepted the paper with minor revisions, and the editor directly accepted it.

What magazine is jafc?

This year is not a good year for investment, as the requirements for innovation are very high. In addition, the reviewers have raised many issues regarding logic and language, so it feels more cost-effective to invest the same amount of effort into JAFC.

The link provided by LetPub is the journal's own submission system, while the link on the journal's official website is for BMC's submission system. I just submitted a manuscript which is currently under review. It is easy to track the progress after submission.

Excuse me, has the MCF submission address been changed? How can I check the progress of my paper after submission?
