Just click and it's done, no need to send an email.

May I ask if I only need to click on "request extension" in the system to apply for an extension to revise this magazine? Do I need to inform the editor by sending an email as well?

The first reviewer provided very detailed feedback and was quite professional. After making the suggested revisions, the submission was directly accepted the next day.

The second reviewer took half a month and directly rejected the paper, with vague reasons and several low-level errors in their suggestions. It was either intentionally trying to upset people or not very knowledgeable in this area. Overall, the impression was not good, resulting in rejection.

Therefore, a third reviewer was sought, who completed the review in 3 days and provided a lot of feedback. They seemed very professional and had a sharp perspective. Although I added an experiment out of personal interest and casually wrote an article in this direction to complete the task, the reviewer was still friendly. After making further revisions, the paper was accepted the next day.

Within 3 days, the associate editor provided many suggestions on writing style and expression, which were minor changes. Afterwards, the paper was directly accepted.

In summary, the review process was strict, efficient, and the experience with the submission platform was excellent.

How much was the layout fee before?

露露不寻常 2023-05-04

The circulation volume is too large, will it be blacklisted?

露露不寻常 2023-05-04

I am very anxious about the investment and don't know when the alarm will be triggered.

露露不寻常 2023-05-04

The circulation is too large, it's scary, in the thousands.

露露不寻常 2023-05-04

Actually, what I wrote is a bit shallow, but the circulation of this publication is also a bit scary, isn't it?

Very good journal! Graduation god journal!
I am very grateful for it, and it has reached the top. I wish it continued success!

Thank you for your reply! It has been over a week and my editing still hasn't been assigned. Sigh.

My response is relatively fast. The editing was assigned on the third day, and the reviewer gave feedback within a month.

Hello, may I ask how long it takes for the manuscript to be sent for external review after submission? It has been several days for me and it is still in the editorial assignment stage. It seems that it hasn't been assigned to an editor yet.

Hello, may I ask how long it takes to assign an editor after you submit your contribution?

Who said this is a water journal? It's deceiving. I really thought it was a good submission, thinking I could easily get accepted. But it turns out I had to find three reviewers, one rejected it, and two suggested major revisions, but with high acceptance rates. Currently, I am in the process of making the major revisions, hoping for a good outcome. The impact factor is a bit far-fetched, but the review speed of one month is acceptable. However, the publication fee is indeed expensive. Good luck.

Later, three rounds of review were initiated, with only one person per round, and it was not until late January, about 8 months later, that it was finally accepted. They said this journal was easy to get published in, but in reality, it was not. Later, I noticed that some of the reviewers were foreigners, including experts in the field.

A complete mess with water. All kinds of blacklists have been arranged.

桑桑菌 2023-01-30

Wrote a methodological article on the detection of a certain microorganism using CRISPR-Cas12. The structure is quite simple, originally intended for a master's student's graduation. The main work was completed in three months. The master's student procrastinated for a whole year and didn't write, so I reluctantly wrote it myself for six months. Initially, I submitted to a few low impact factor journals, but they were all rejected. After organizing the text properly, I submitted to Microbiology Spectrum, hoping to be recommended for transfer. Unexpectedly, it went for peer review. Although the reviewer's comments were not very positive, I spent six months diligently deepening the content of the paper, significantly improving its quality. After making the revisions, it was rejected immediately because during this revision process, the journal had accepted another similar article. Feeling disheartened, and with a job change, making it inconvenient to continue with additional experiments, I decided to submit it here.

One month has passed, and the current impact factor is 4.7+. It is expected that the impact factor for June's statistics should be around 6.1.

MMMMMeng啊 2023-01-18

This journal is okay, not too low-quality. The other series of Frontiers are even lower-quality.

周易water 2023-01-11

The quality of the journals under Frontiers is becoming more and more like MDPI. It is astonishing that they are now listed as second-tier journals. I cannot understand the operation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' journal ranking system.

林夕 2022-12-23

Is this directed at harvesting China's big water journals in the top of the second district? The classification of the Chinese Academy of Sciences allows everyone to have a share, not bad, not bad!

Arlin 2022-12-21

Tell a scary story, there are only ten days left until the end of the year. The current impact factor is around 4.3. Last year, there were over 3900 submissions, and this year it's almost 5000. The expansion rate of submissions is too fast...

Does this gossip magazine even care about the quality of the articles?

song 2022-12-19

Criticized, this is just a superficial magazine. The writing level can only be described as garbage. As far as I know, many domestic universities have included it in the list of non-reward blacklists.

song 2022-12-19

This is originally a water magazine...

song 2022-12-19

This kind of spam magazine has also become top. Funny.

尽快投稿 2022-12-14

You can email the magazine to inquire, but it feels highly likely that you will be rejected.
