Well-recognized journal in the industry. Overall, the review process is strict and the cycle is slightly long. The reviewers and journal editors are very diligent and responsible. Although it is a 3rd-tier journal, the quality of the article greatly improved after three rounds of careful revisions by the reviewers (5 in total), and I gained a lot personally.

Submitted on December 3, 2021.
First major revision on March 10, 2022: Three reviewers in total, all very strict, provided comments and questions regarding experimental design, methods, data analysis, conclusions, etc. One reviewer questioned the accuracy of the experimental method.

First major revision returned on May 29, 2022: Carefully replied to each question from the reviewers and made revisions according to their suggestions. Conducted validation experiments. Due to the impact of the pandemic, the revision time was longer, so I explained the situation to the editor in advance and applied for an extension.

Second major revision on July 3, 2022: Two new reviewers this time, mainly provided revision suggestions and questions regarding language and writing aspects.

Second major revision returned on July 31, 2022: Carefully replied to every question and made revisions according to the suggested changes.

Third revision (minor revision) on January 30, 2023: The reviewers had almost no major issues, and I made detailed revisions on language-related details. (The review period from the second to the third revision was longer, but I received a quick response after reminding them at the end of January.)

Third revision returned on February 14, 2023: Truly admire the journal's diligent and responsible work attitude, as well as the reviewers' strictness and diligence.

Accepted on February 17, 2023.

May I ask if there is a word limit of 2500 for this journal?

It takes a long time. Submitted in June, major revision in September, major revision in October, accepted at the end of October, went through two rounds of revisions. It is difficult to get accepted without two years or locations being repeated. The review process feels strict, and the journal's quality is assured, but the impact factor is not high. When will it be able to reach the second quartile?

Review for 5 months, modification for two months, accepted after modification, the speed is relatively slow.

This journal is like this, generally easy to accept for field studies. First, it requires repetition, and second, statistical analysis. In fact, rejecting the manuscript at the beginning saves a lot of time.

Our group has submitted to this journal once before, and most of the articles were published in journals ranked higher than the second tier. The first time we submitted to this journal, it felt particularly terrible. We are working on plant-based environmental pollution remediation, and after submission, it went through the review process. Both reviewers approved it, giving a few minor issues. After we diligently addressed each one, the editor ignored the reviewers' comments and our modifications, inexplicably stating that we did not have enough repetition and rejected the manuscript. Our experiments were conducted in a growth chamber using hydroponics. We really want to curse, wondering why we wasted time, and why we bothered to submit in the first place. Moreover, our research direction, with multiple locations and years of repeated experiments, would undoubtedly meet the standards of top-tier journals. Why would we want to publish in this less reputable journal? However, the biggest advantage of this journal is that all the author's information is hidden during the review process, ensuring fair evaluations by the reviewers. The problem lies with the editor. Our manuscript was rejected by a Chinese individual. This experience was extremely unpleasant. Rejection is not a big deal, as our work might genuinely not have been up to par, but encountering such an experience felt like an insult, showing a complete lack of respect for the reviewers and authors. Anyway, we will never consider this journal again in the future.
