How did this journal issue provide a warning? Excuse me, OP, is there any impact? Also, how much are the fees, and are they based on the word count?

There was a horizontal project that needed to be concluded before. One disgusting requirement was that the sponsor must publish an article.
We didn't want to give him the good job, so we found a mediocre one and assigned it to a student to write.
The student was writing a scientific article for the first time, considering it as a practice. After making some language and formatting adjustments, the article was submitted to Materials.
We quickly received feedback, indicating that the reviewers were still very serious and required a response within 10 days. After replying, we promptly received an acceptance notification, which also required payment.
Of course, the language was finally edited and polished a bit, as the page fee was quite expensive.

Ask the expert, what journal did they submit for Q2?

Different people have different opinions, and wise people have different perspectives. I submitted an article to MDPI's materials journal, but the publication fee was high, and it was unfortunately given a warning. I decided to share my experience of submitting to an open-access journal: I wanted to quickly publish a good article, so I submitted to an MDPI journal. There were four reviewers, and they provided over 40 comments, which were professional and insightful. Personally, I felt that the review process was formal and professional. However, it seems that MDPI, being a Chinese-owned journal, is not well-regarded, and there are some people who have never published articles constantly criticizing it, for unknown reasons.

Similarly, I submitted a relatively mediocre article, with inadequate experiments, to another publishing company's Q2 open-access journal with an impact factor of 5.289. The publication fee was lower at $1000, but the feedback from the two reviewers was mainly about language and terminology issues, lacking substantial comments. In comparison, this review process was easier, but it lacked the professionalism compared to MDPI.

What about PLoS One? Why didn't I receive any warning? Who moved my cheese...

This journal should be considered if you no longer want to do scientific research! This journal has already been warned! Those who are in a hurry to graduate can give it a try, usually it won't disappoint you! However, those who are sincerely engaged in scientific research should not submit to this kind of journal!
