2024一定毕业 2023-02-22

It took a total of 20 days from submission to acceptance. Two days after submission, opinions from two reviewers were received. The first reviewer suggested major revisions, while the second reviewer highly appreciated the article. The editor then requested major revisions and gave a 7-day deadline for the revisions. Afterward, the opinions of the third reviewer, who also highly appreciated the article, were received. The editor then sought a fourth expert reviewer, who suggested adding a reference. After making the revisions, the second round of reviews returned after 3 days. The first reviewer was very difficult and rejected the article, while the other three reviewers had no further comments. The editor requested minor revisions and asked for a response to the first reviewer's comments. After 3 days, the response was submitted, and the next morning the article was accepted. Although the process was painful (mainly due to dealing with the first reviewer's comments, which made me want to give up, feeling helpless), the result was still very positive. After the first SCI publication, I felt no excitement because my research field is relatively niche, and only one top domestic university has a similar study published in this journal. Therefore, after experiencing four rejections (reason: not within the journal's scope), I chose this open-access journal (costing approximately 16,500 RMB). I wish the journal continued success!

Returned for revision on December 26th, with major revisions. However, there were not many revision suggestions. One reviewer requested language polishing for the paper, which was done on the MDPI official website. It was sent back for revision on February 2nd and submitted for review on the same day. It has been 6 days since then.

Isn't it said that Energies reviews are fast? It has been 20 days since I submitted my manuscript and it is still under review. I saw my senior's submission got reviewed in 12 days. I hope it will be done soon so I can graduate!

May I ask how long it took to be included in WOS?

午离 2023-01-16

Dear experts, how long does it take for a journal to be indexed in WOS after it can be found on the mdpi official website?

visa小南 2023-01-13

Excuse me, how can I find the special issue? What is the difference between a special issue and a regular issue?

笑看风云 2023-01-11

I would really like to know approximately how long it takes for this journal to be indexed by WOS.

The comments provided by the reviewers are very professional, there were three reviewers.

sixgett 2023-01-09

The reviewer is very professional, and it only took one month to finish.

JinleideSCI 2023-01-04

Fast speed, quick response from the editor, overall it looks pretty good.

中国工程院院士 2022-12-05

The review comments are very professional, and the speed is also fast. I am fortunate to serve as the guest editor for the special issue, which is as important as the regular issues.

xiaofive 2022-11-18

The speed is really fast, suitable for graduation. The special issue submitted includes simulation analysis, physical production, and experimental verification. I feel that I have done a pretty comprehensive job. The reviewers' comments were not easy to answer, but I replied seriously.

Send the manuscript to two reviewers, receive one review, major revisions, publication in one month.

清神 2022-10-21

Basically, as long as it is submitted for review, it is almost done. If it is not submitted for review within three days, it is very uncertain. Generally, multiple reviewers will be sought. If two reviewers return within two weeks, modifications can be made. The speed is very fast.

清神 2022-10-21

They usually invite four reviewers for their journal. If the other three do not respond within two weeks, they will ask the author to revise the manuscript based on one of the reviewer's comments. If the remaining reviewers respond, they will continue to ask for revisions. Overall, there are no major issues.

This website often has issues in China and requires frequent logins. The overall review process takes about one month, and typically the first results are given within two weeks.

Why can't I access the official website of this journal? May I ask how did you manage to access it?

10/11 submit
10/25 major revisions
The opinions of the two reviewers are both positive. One of them says, "The manuscript is well written." However, they also raised some challenging questions, and the editor has given us 7 days to address them.
10/30 revise and resubmit
10/31 major revisions
Wow, does this reviewer not sleep at night? They wake up in the morning and still want major revisions!
11/3 resubmit
11/4 minor revisions + submit
When I saw the email saying there were minor revisions, my heart sank. Why do we have to revise again? But when I opened it, it was just adding some information. Haha, let's do it!
11/4 two hours later, pending editor decision
Haha, so excited~
11/9 finally! It's accepted. When I woke up and saw the email notification on my phone, I was so touched!
Overall evaluation: Because MDPI is commercial, they prioritize speed, which is understandable. But because they are so fast, some people question their quality and think they are not rigorous. They believe that journals with a slow and indifferent approach have higher quality, which is a big misconception. In this submission experience, the reviewers' comments were challenging and insightful, and we went through three rounds of revisions. It significantly improved the quality of my paper, and this is my true feeling. I support MDPI and hope it continues to improve.

Hello, I would like to ask how to determine whether the reviewer's comments are acceptance, major revision, or minor revision. Currently, I have received a reviewer's comments, and the email suggests that if possible, modifications should be made first. I am not very clear about whether this reviewer's response indicates major or minor revisions.

linjiangsanxian 2022-09-13

Fast speed is a highlight, especially suitable for the urgent need of students' graduation, short-term project completion, and publication of papers. However, it does not mean that the quality is low. Some reviewers are still very strict and their suggestions can greatly improve the article. Many people may judge the quality of a journal or the professionalism of reviewers based on just one submission, which is not very friendly.

李晓东东晓李 2022-09-11

My paper also had three reviewers. The first two reviewers gave high evaluations for the article. However, the third person requested the editor to reject the paper and upload it after major revisions. Even after the revisions, the third reviewer still requested rejection. Is there any chance for this?
