The special issue I submitted received the first review comments in 23 days. Your first review comments should be coming soon, so don't worry.

May I ask if the original poster has received the review comments? I have also submitted to the special issue for over twenty days and have not received a reply yet.

记录投稿经历 2021-09-20

August 16th, submit.
September 1st, received two comments, given five days to make revisions.
September 3rd, received the third comment as well, made revisions altogether without extending the time.
September 6th, resubmit.
September 7th, saw in the system that all three reviewers agreed to accept, no other comments.
September 9th, accepted. But didn't notice the payment message.
September 16th, reminded to pay, made the payment on the same day.
September 17th, published.
From submission to acceptance, it only took 24 days, very fast.

Added some additional experiments, but couldn't achieve much in just five days.
The responses to the reviewers' comments were longer than the main text, and many issues were resolved through explanations. (The language was very sincere, but in summary, it was like "I don't think this experiment needs to be added/it can't be added"). They charged me 16,000 RMB. The CHF exchange rate seems to have increased recently...
For the sake of promotion and staying at the university, there's nothing I can do... It's fast, and the article is quickly indexed in WOS, what more can I ask for~

The article was submitted on August 9th, 2021, and it was accepted on September 9th, 2021, exactly one month later.

07-27 submit
07-28 under review
08-19 major revision (Three review comments were given, with 6 days to make the revisions. Unable to complete, an email was sent to the editor requesting an extension until the 27th to return the revised manuscript)
08-27 resubmit
08-30 minor revision
08-31 resubmit
09-01 pending editor decision
09-03 accepted

The article processing fee is 2200 CHF, equivalent to 15700 RMB. After the major revision, it was surprising that the reviewers responded so quickly. Their comments were very professional and greatly improved the paper!

The text translates to: A special issue is a dedicated publication (featuring papers on a specific theme) that is a part of a regular journal. It seems to be more difficult to get accepted for publication in a special issue compared to a regular issue.

What does the "special issue" of this magazine refer to? Does it have an impact factor and journal number? I received an invitation to contribute to this magazine, and it has been three days since I submitted my article, but it is still pending review.

The second day after submission, it was already under review. However, it has been exactly two weeks now and there is still no news. I have noticed that others have received results after about two weeks. Could it be because I submitted to a special issue? Or is it that the actual review process starts only after replying to the confirmation email regarding APC (Article Processing Charge)? I hope for a positive outcome.

Hello, may I ask if your first trial result is a minor repair or a major repair?

Mikcyhyl 2021-08-13

Hello, I would like to ask what the result of your first trial is. Have you been hired now?

Submitted for review, looking for a reviewer.

Does "under review" mean it has been submitted for review, or is it just in the hands of the editor, and they are deciding whether to submit it for review?

打boss的小兵 2021-07-05

May 21st - submission;
May 28th - under review;
June 15th - minor revisions, two reviewers, four days for revision;
June 19th - submission of minor revision comments;
June 21st - acceptance.

The speed of nanomaterials is really fast. There are review comments within 2 weeks of submission, with 10 days given for revisions. After the modifications are uploaded, the results are known within 7 days and acceptance is granted. The impact factor is also quite good, and the questions from the three reviewers are very professional. The only downside is that the publication fee is a bit high, 2200 francs.

I waited for more than 20 days for the first trial result to come back.

mocha 2021-05-21

It has been 5 days since submission. Why is it still waiting for review?

flybirdzy 2021-05-20

My submission experience:
Submitted on April 29th;
Received review comments on May 10th, requesting a response within 7 days;
Returned the revised manuscript on May 17th;
Informed of acceptance on May 20th;
The whole process took about 20 days, surprisingly fast; There were 5 reviewers who asked a series of questions, and I had to provide answers to each question!

Hello, I would like to ask if you have received the review comments.

lanlingci 2021-05-05

Hello, my manuscript editor gave me 7 days, but it happened to be during a holiday. The data mentioned in the reviewer's comments is not complete, so I sent an email requesting a 14-day extension to submit the revised manuscript. I haven't received a reply from the editor. What's going on? Did they reject it directly?

是非 2021-04-26

It has been 24 days since the submission, but there has been no response.
The editor also did not respond to the email.
When can I submit it separately on my own?

The editing response was very timely, and the reviewing speed was also very fast.

Two reviewers, one raised three questions, and the other raised one question. The editor requested a major revision within 5 days. The paper was accepted on the same day it was submitted. The journal has strict guidelines for the reviewing and revision process, resulting in a quick turnaround. The entire process, from submission to acceptance, took 19 days.

The biggest advantage of MDPI journals is their fast review cycle and prompt handling of feedback.
