The text translates to: "I had two submissions rejected within two days. May I ask which journal you submitted to again?"

I don't think MDPI's journals are as good as rumored. The first round of review took over 40 days with three reviewers, who provided over 60 major and minor revisions. Some of the issues were quite challenging, but they greatly helped improve the quality of the article. After making the minor revisions and resubmitting, it took a total of 2 months for acceptance. The whole process is similar to previous journals I have submitted to. The article went online the day after acceptance, which is incredibly friendly. The English editor also made grammar revisions throughout. Highly recommended.

The review process was a bit slow, but both external reviewers were very professional and provided extensive feedback in two large PDF documents, which greatly helped improve the quality of the paper.

Content made by undergraduate students with the 985 Project (the ability is not to be underestimated, not just for the sake of filling the article), in fact, can also be considered as a small exploration of a new field. I believe that the innovation is average, but the research significance can be guaranteed and the workload is still substantial. Submitted at the end of October, under review for 24 days, and then received major revisions. Among the three reviewers, one hardly made any comments, one was obviously a colleague in the same field, and provided eight suggestions to add content on climate change, including figures, introductions, and discussions, as well as a flowchart. The third reviewer was a strict junior colleague who raised more than thirty issues, including five major and difficult suggestions to improve. Because of him, I had to apply for an extension of 10 days since 8 days were not enough. I wrote a 5000-word response specifically for this reviewer. After uploading the revised manuscript, I received minor revisions three days later, and this time only reviewer 3 had concerns, but his attitude was already very positive. After the minor revisions were made, it was accepted the next day.

Overall, this time I encountered a difficult reviewer. If there were only reviewers 1 and 2, I believe it would have been a very smooth submission process. However, because of the addition of reviewer 3, who is an expert in the field, I endured ten days of struggle and anxiety. Nevertheless, I am happy. The quality of the revised article has visibly improved, and more importantly, several major issues that I had overlooked in my research became clear during the process of addressing the reviewer's comments. So I am truly grateful to this responsible junior colleague. The journal requirements are not high, but having professional reviewers is equally satisfying.

May I ask which magazine from District 2 did you subscribe to again?

How should I put it, everyone knows that the quality of MDPI journals varies. I got instantly rejected when I submitted to this one, but ended up getting accepted in the second-tier journal.

From submission to acceptance, it took a total of 41 days, with approximately 20 rounds of reviewer comments. After major revisions were made, the manuscript was returned for further modifications, and it was accepted 10 days later. The review process was fast, and the comments were quite professional. Overall, I think it was satisfactory.

Rejected within seconds of being edited, only one day in total, haha. I am also an associate professor and have published quite a few articles. I heard that MDPI is easy to publish with, so I decided to give it a try. Never expected this...

Hzai 2022-08-16

I'm also an associate professor, but I was also rejected instantly. Haha. I really don't know what tricks MDPI has.

The template was rejected instantly. I am not currently studying for a master's degree, but I am a postdoctoral fellow with an associate professor title. I am also a supervisor for master's students and have published over 30 first-author papers. The submitted paper has abundant data and good innovation, so I cannot accept the instant rejection result. Later, I submitted the paper to the best entomology SCI journal in Japan, which proved that the paper passed the review, or at least it was not at the level of instant rejection. This experience of instant rejection is the same as my submission to "Insects", both of which are MDPI journals. It seems that there is something to be said about these types of journals, so if you submit and it is not accepted, don't take it to heart.

Hello, is it normal for them to send an email requesting an article processing fee during the review period? If my article gets rejected, does that mean I paid the fee for nothing?

Template rejection, maybe I'm just too bad 0.0

I didn't expect the submission to take half a month. The comments provided by the reviewers were very accurate and meaningful, and it was easy to make the necessary changes. It was a very pleasant submission. It would be even better if there were no publication fees.

Take a look at this website, it's quite interesting. Originally it was very profitable, but this website makes it seem like they don't make any money.

The editor is too focused on the opinions of the reviewers. Some reviewers don't even consider the general review comments below the article. It's simply impossible to make any modifications and it's either returned for revision or rejected.

Submission experience:

9.30: Resubmitted
10.4: Minor revision
10.4: Accepted

After being rejected twice (twice rejected in the second review, the reviewers were too picky and insisted on focusing on widely used methods), the manuscript was transferred to Agriculture. The two reviewers had relatively professional and fair opinions, and the editor handled it promptly.
