To be honest, MOLECULES is really not mediocre now. After submitting my own work, I received major revisions from the reviewers. There were about 50 comments from three individuals, each one very insightful. After the major revisions, the article improved in quality, and the review process was extremely fast. It is worthy of its promotion this year.

2300CHF translates to "2300 Swiss Francs" in English.

This year, accepted on 01-05, the process was very fast.
I would like to ask how long it usually takes from being online to being searchable for molecules.

Submitted in early September 2022, and published on September 27th. It can be said that it was very fast because it was a review-type submission, and there were many revisions. A total of three reviewers, two of whom were very considerate and meticulous, and pointed out crucial issues. The other one was average. Due to the delay caused by exams, the reviewers' comments came back six days later. Otherwise, it would have been even faster. In any case, the feedback from this journal is very good, and I hope it continues to improve.

Graduation Divine Magazine, after submitting it, I found out that it has become Zone 2 this year. Molecules are amazing. Wishing you more and more progress.

May I ask if this magazine still accepts articles from Chinese medical institutions?

I also received a 500 discount, not sure if it's true or false? If you need it, you can message me.

Received a free invitation, eagerly submitted the manuscript today and was told it is no longer free. Is the promise made by this journal shit? Never submit to this journal in my lifetime, it's truly garbage, garbage, garbage, MDPI.

Not to mention anything else, it is indeed fast, and expensive indeed. It is the first choice for working people who are eager to graduate and want to focus on scientific research and be cautious about submitting.

This is a journal with low standards. Undergraduate students can conduct experiments casually and submit a paper to get published. During the process, they urged us to pay 1300 CHF, and once we transferred the money, they immediately accepted it.

After my major revision, it took about four to five days for the pending editor decision, and then I was given minor revisions.

白白白0406 2022-08-11

May I ask how long does it usually take for a pending editor decision? It has been two days for me. After major revisions, all reviewers have given a "yes" and agreed to accept. How much longer will it take in this situation?

This submission was relatively slow. I waited for over 20 days without any revision comments, so I sent a reminder email to the editor. The editor informed me that they were having difficulty finding reviewers. After a few days, I received the first round of revision comments. After two rounds of major revisions, I waited for the editor's decision, which took about 15 days. The process was quite anxious, so I sent an email to the editor to inquire about the status of my manuscript. One hour later, the article was accepted, and the next day I paid the publication fee using a credit card. On the third day, the article was published online. Overall, it took a little over two months, which coincided with graduation season, making it a memorable publication!

How is your article now?

Yes, they said that the 163 email and QQ email are not convenient for their system to send messages, but strangely enough, the 126 email can.

I don't know if the little buddies who were told to change their email addresses have received the message.

Hello, may I ask if it is necessary to pay for this journal now?

Dear, may I ask how to format the references for this magazine? I noticed that it seems slightly different from other magazines.

Bizarre Series.
Invitation for submission, after submission modification, and after receiving feedback, request for resubmission?
After resubmission for two months, the submission was rejected. Two reviewers suggested acceptance directly, while one reviewer indicated that the language was incomprehensible, the logic was inconsistent, the performance showed no improvement, and the mechanism discussion lacked novelty.
I am unable to comment on this.

Just updating if you are interested, later it was resubmitted to a smaller section, and accepted after minor revisions.
I suspect that this initial pitfall was because they wanted us to pay for the page fees, which we did not give.

Because I submitted to a journal specializing in phycology, the paper was submitted on January 28, 2022. On February 5, 2022, the editorial team assigned three experts for peer review, resulting in two minor revisions and one major revision. After the final major revision, it took 10 working days for MDPI to proofread and make internal edits. However, the academic editor rejected the paper, claiming that it did not fit the theme. Later, I sent an argue letter and recontacted the editorial team. After further modifications and improvements, I resubmitted the paper. The academic editor still insisted on not accepting it and angrily requested the opinions of some guest editors. Eventually, there was a change in editor, and the editor-in-chief considered the article reasonable and acceptable. It was accepted on March 5 and published on March 7. The publication fee was 2300 CHF, and the proofreading fee was 230 CHF, which is a bit expensive. However, the impact factor is also 4.411, although it is in the third quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is still quite good. Currently, they usually respond within a month regarding acceptance. The editorial team's review speed and final proofreading speed are fast. I recommend trying this journal if you are in a hurry.

The speed is very fast, with the first review comments given within 8 days, followed by major revisions. After 4 days, it is returned for further revisions and accepted on the same day. It goes online 3 days later. The whole process, from submission to online publication, takes a total of 15 days. The editor is diligent and responsible, even providing proofreading services after accepting the article. However, the layout fee has increased from the original 2000 Swiss francs to the current 2300 Swiss francs.

Soon, on December 6th, the submission was made. On December 8th, it was sent for review. On December 16th, the first review came back. On December 24th, revisions were made. On January 4th, it was officially accepted.

The speed was fast, and the reviewers' comments were very pertinent. I hope Moleculars continues to improve! Excellent journal for graduation!

Magazines should be able to improve scores, have high requirements for data quality, not require fancy decorations, as long as the data is solid and genuine, and has some novelty, the review process will be very fast.
Not bothersome.
