沧桑不枯萎 2021-04-01

The translation of the text into English is as follows:

"The speed is really fast, mainly because of the fast internal processing at MDPI.
Submitted: March 3, 2021
First decision date: March 8, 2021
Major revision: March 18, 2021
Resubmit: March 28, 2021
Accept date: March 31, 2021

Some observations:
1. Although MDPI is controversial, there are more than 70 SCI journals.
2. The acceptance speed is fast, mainly due to the high efficiency of internal processing, and all information is notified promptly.
3. The review process is strict. In the first round, there was a minor revision and one rejection. The editor chose to seek a third reviewer. The opinion of the third reviewer proved that the editor needed to make significant revisions. The revisions were done according to the comments and responses of the expert reviewer, and a reply letter of approximately 10 pages was written. The initially rejecting expert was relatively satisfied, while the other two gave 5 positive responses each.
4. After acceptance, the editorial department notifies the acceptance, arranges payment, and completes the proofreading in one go.

The fee is 2000 Swiss Francs, and there is a 10% discount for the supervisor's name."

I submitted an article before the new year, and it was submitted on December 21st. After submission, the editor gave some minor revisions, and I resubmitted it on December 23rd. On January 19th, I received major revision comments, with a deadline of one week to make the revisions. I worked overtime to make the necessary changes and submitted it on the early morning of January 22nd. On the same day, at 6:00 PM, I received a direct acceptance notice, followed by a notification to make the payment. I made the payment on January 23rd, and the article was published online on January 25th. It was searchable by March 14th, which means it took less than two months to receive the indexing report.

I actually have a question that I don't understand. This journal is listed in the warning list of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. What is the purpose of this warning list? What does it mean? Does it imply that journals on this list are at risk of being downgraded or possibly removed from SCI?

Posted on December 22, 2020, I need the unit address and email of all the authors. It took until the 26th to make the necessary changes for submission. The first review was quick, with results in 14 days. There were three reviewers who provided 48 comments. Only 10 days were given for revisions, but I applied for a 5-day extension. The second review took one week, and two reviewers did not provide positive answers to questions, so I continued to improve the paper. After revisions, it was directly accepted.

Overall, the review comments were quite professional. I initially did not plan to include the theoretical calculation section, but the reviewers insisted on it. However, since I submitted it before the new year, the publication fee was 1500 francs, but it seems to have increased to 2000 now. I also received a warning, but it is suitable for someone like me who is under a lot of pressure to graduate!
