This is an open access journal. The editors are friendly, the processing speed is fast, and the reviewers are responsible. Taking the advantages of open access, the impact factor of this journal is expected to rise this year, and there is hope to reach 5 in next two years.

This journal only accepts 118 articles each year and the reviewers’ comments are also very professional with some critical questions raised. It took one month for the first review. Both reviewers required minor revisions and raised a lot of questions, such as language and mechanism explanations, but no supplementary tests. The revised submission with minor revision was accepted 20 days later as the final review result. There were some open-style set up on the submission pages, where you can be reply one-way to reviewers. I hope that the journal keeps up and the impact factor keeps rising.

It was reviewed for one month and required for revisions. One of the reviewers is very professional. We answered every question carefully and made revisions back and forth for three rounds. It totally took three and a half months to be accepted.

The two reviewers were very professional, and they all suggested that I had to make up two necessary experiments and complete the experiments. Three days after completion, the two reviewers agreed to publish my submission.

The submission was titled "Advanced Green and Sustainable Chemical and Physical Technologies for Resources Recycling of Solid Wastes."

After submitting, they mentioned that my article did not fit within the scope of the journal and suggested submitting elsewhere. After I declined, they sent me an email with the reviewer's comments in less than a month.

They informed me that one reviewer did not submit within the specified time, so they were looking for a new reviewer and sent me the comments from one reviewer in the meantime.

They found a total of three reviewers, with two suggesting minor revisions and a few small questions to accept, while one suggested major revisions but with simple issues, asking for additional data to be included.

After making the revisions and resubmitting, it took less than a week for proofreading, and then two weeks until it was published.

The overall process took two months, and the reviewer's comments were notified immediately after each reviewer completed their review, rather than waiting to send them all together in an email. This allowed me to start the revisions earlier and saved a lot of effort.

The submission went smoothly, just a bit expensive haha.

A graduate student conducted an exploratory experiment, but only scratched the surface. They submitted it to FIC for the first time on August 2nd. On the 13th, they received the first set of comments, and on the 15th, they received the second set of comments. On that day, they initiated the interactive review process. Today, when they revised the paper, they discovered an additional pending reviewer and are unsure of what will happen next.

The first SCI paper as a master's student, the work I did wasn't considered groundbreaking, but it wasn't trivial either. It was my first time writing an article in English, and after finishing it, I submitted it directly. In less than a month, I received revisions and then it was accepted.

Reviewing speed is OK, minor repairs are used, the first reviewer gave more revisions, mostly in language, and answered some questions, the second reviewerThere were not many opinions and positive opinions. The two reviewers were more responsible. After the repair, the reply was also fast, and the editors forwarded the news in a timely manner.
