The journal is very fast in terms of speed, and the reviewers may not necessarily be junior colleagues. The efficiency of the editors is high, but the quality of the papers may not be very high.

It feels like the requirements are higher compared to other MDPI articles. Because the field of research belongs to a niche direction of the journal, the encountered reviewers are quite professional, but in the end, it was still accepted for publication.

Hello, what is the fee schedule? I saw downstairs that it is 8600 yuan, but the official website shows more than that. Has there been a recent price increase?

May I ask how much the fee is? I saw downstairs that it is 8600. Has there been a recent price increase?

Posted on 2021.12.6, accepted after two revisions on 2022.3.2. Due to the Spring Festival in between, I delayed my submission by one month. The process was quite fast, and the journal also provided one free English proofreading. The price was reasonable. I recommend submitting more articles!

with the editor, it may take a few hours and then it will be under review.

The processing speed of the manuscript is extremely fast, and it will be completed within two weeks. The requirements for the manuscript are not high, and the reviewers' opinions are generally minor revisions. Generally, articles will not be rejected unless they are too outrageous. The recognition within the industry is average, but the momentum of this journal is growing rapidly and will continue to improve in the future.

Hello, how long were you in the "with editor" status?

听门外风吹雪 2021-12-23

Hello, for more than ten days after I submitted my manuscript, it has been in the "With Editor" status. Was your submission in the same situation back then?

IVAN 2021-11-24

The review speed is extremely fast, at least much stronger than journals that often take up to six months for the review process.
The content of the manuscript perfectly matches the theme of the Special issue. I submitted it a few days before the deadline and received the review comments about a month later. It required two revisions for acceptance, and I was given a week to make the changes. Soon after, I received the acceptance decision.
If money is not an issue, those in need of articles can consider this open-access journal.

As long as you go for external review, you will basically pass easily. It's very comfortable and quick. It will be published in one month.

Posted on September 9th, accepted on October 10th, the journal's speed is very fast. The editor has been communicating through emails all along. After a minor revision, it was directly sent to the editor for review. Pursuing speed is still possible.

Mingming2021 2021-10-16

Submitted for review on the 2nd day, received revisions on the 5th day, took 1 day to revise, and after revising, it was accepted the next day. It was fast, but it didn't feel like it would be rejected. If you need to publish articles quickly, it's suitable, otherwise, publishing too much in this journal has side effects.

Journal review is fast: it took 13 days to receive the first-round comments from two reviewers. The reviewers suggested major revisions, and the editorial department gave 7 days to make the revisions. Due to multiple tasks, an extension of one week was requested from the editorial department. The revised version was quickly submitted, and the second-round comments were received, changing the status to "Pending editor decision." Anxiously waiting, a notice of acceptance was received 4 days later:

Timeline for reference:
9.9 submitted
9.22 major revisions
10.6 major revisions submitted
10.7 revised version review
10.9 pending editor decision
10.13 paper accepted

The journal review process was fast, possibly because it was during summer vacation. Within a week, the reviewers were not all found, so a reminder was sent and five new reviewers were recommended before the review was completed. The editors were still very professional and responsible. A total of 15 comments were provided by three reviewers, and the outcome was quite satisfying. As my first master's thesis, I am very pleased.

Journal review is fast, with a reply of 25 comments within a week (including 8 major revisions). It is often said that open-source is of low quality, but it is precisely these open-source journals that bring convenience to scholars worldwide and make significant contributions in the field of anti-knowledge monopoly.

The translation of the text is as follows:

"Speed is very fast.
7.3 submitted
7.4 pending review
7.6 Under review
7.31 major revisions
8.7 major revisions submitted
8.9 accepted
It took a little over a month. It was fast. There were many review comments, all of which were very constructive. There was one comment that I had some doubts about, and the editor kindly helped me ask the reviewer and replied to me nicely. This article is very important to me and it is also my first time publishing in SCI. I hope everything goes smoothly in the future as well."

Only the last submission went smoothly...
However, this journal rejects and encourages resubmission (this article went through two rounds, I am not very skilled).
The reviewers of the article are very responsible. Usually, each reviewer provides comments of over a thousand words for major revisions. They are very dedicated and the quality of the article has improved significantly. The process of writing the response letter, however, was very painful.
Also, it is possible that the article was submitted under the category of Physical Oceanography, which has a lower publication rate and may be more difficult to publish in. Additionally, I encountered an Associate Editor with strong opinions (the major revision was rejected).
In the end, the final decision was made by the Editor-in-Chief.
Everyone says that MDPI journals are relatively easy to publish in, but I still found it very challenging.
However, I believe that all three reviewers and the Associate Editor were very dedicated, as each set of comments was over a thousand words long.

The speed is fast. Submit on March 8th, accept after two minor revisions on April 14th. If you urgently need the article, you can submit this one.

It has been 5 days since it was submitted, but it is still pending review.

This journal has a very efficient handling process for manuscripts. It took me about a month to receive the revision comments, which is considered slow. In the first round, there were two reviewers, one suggesting minor revisions and the other suggesting major revisions. The reviewer for major revisions was very responsible and provided detailed and accurate suggestions. They only gave me 7 days to make the revisions. After submitting the revised manuscript, the academic editor requested minor revisions and gave me two days to complete them. After submitting the revised version again, it was quickly accepted. The language editor made some improvements in English and provided the proof the next day. After confirming the proof, it was online the next day.

Hello, may I ask if you are returning after a major overhaul? Or did the editor ask you to resubmit directly after resubmitting? Please advise, thank you.

因你而精彩 2021-01-30

Hello, may I ask if you are the one who resubmitted the manuscript for a second review after major revisions? Did you revise it again before resubmitting? Is it the same expert who reviewed it previously?
