I also had a previous experience of submitting another journal to MDPI. Because of an issue that one expert kept insisting on, it went through three major revisions, taking a total of four months. Finally, in the last revision, we successfully addressed the expert's concern, and the expert even agreed that it could be published. However, the editorial department rejected it, which was really frustrating.

Our research group had a paper last year, which went through major revisions (three reviewers, one minor revision and two major revisions), followed by minor revisions (two reviewers agreed to publish, one reviewer suggested further modifications before acceptance). After the minor revisions were submitted, the editor directly rejected the paper, stating that it had a limited readership.

The review process of the journal is peculiar. Although the review speed is fast, with the China Academy of Sciences and many domestic universities no longer recognizing publishers like MDP and Hindaw (for three reasons: many warning risk journals, high charges, and suspected paper quality due to high publication volume), the journal will gradually lose the Chinese market. Therefore, I comfort my colleagues in the group to consider themselves lucky.

In my personal opinion, having been engaged in scientific research for over ten years and having submitted numerous papers, I have never seen such an operation.

In conclusion, I hope Chinese scholars will be vigilant against such journals and publishers like MDP and Hindaw.

Hello, I would like to ask how long Little Repair will take. I asked for Major Repair upon my return, but they only gave me 10 days.

10.9 Submission, 10.21 Minor revisions, 10.25 Return, accepted the same day, paid the layout fee the same day. It only took 16 days from submission to acceptance. The layout fee has increased to 2400 CHF this year, which is still a bit expensive. I reluctantly accepted it due to the urgency of completing the project.

From submission to minor revisions to online publication, it took a total of 24 days. If you want to be efficient, it is indeed a very good choice.

I submitted two articles from April to August, one major revision and one minor revision. The reviewers were all very professional, and the editors were also very nice. The speed was impressive. It is a good choice for those who urgently need to graduate or be evaluated for a professional title.

2400CHF in English is 2400 Swiss Francs.

This series of magazines now feels quite aloof. They no longer accept pure bioinformatics papers and they also reject ones without innovative ideas and experiments. I guess they are starting to prioritize impact factor.

What should I do if I don't understand? You can just explain it to him since the questions are too basic.

Overall, the process was relatively fast. The editor and reviewers were friendly. Although it is a Tier 3 journal, the impact factor has been increasing. It is expected to be promoted to Tier 2 next year. It is recommended for students who are graduating.
