Posted on January 3rd, reviewed one month later, major revisions on March 2nd, delayed after revisions until March 29th for external review, approximately received the initial results on May 26th with the status changed to "required reviews completed," finally accepted on July 8th.

Overall, the experience was good, and the reviewers were very professional, raising many important questions. The journal specializes in algae research and has average expectations for the quality of articles. It would be great if the process was a bit faster, but if you are willing to wait, this journal is a good choice.
