It has become a water journal! The quality of the paper is really average, but the self-citation rate is so high that it is normal to be dropped.

It is easy to be accepted, and it is usually easier if you cite more articles in this journal.

It is estimated that it will be warned as its self-citation rate exceeds 40%. The level of this journal is uneven.

This journal’s impact factor was 1.8 in 2004. Because of contributions from people in China and other Asian countries, the IF rose to 3.7 in 2008. The decline in the past two years may be related to a lax in the review of papers or the slowed progress in this field.

Finally got some news, rejected, reason beyond the scope of the journal's requirements.
It's really slow, if it's beyond the scope, it should have been rejected in a week, no words for this journal.

The submission made on May 15, 2024 was rejected without any feedback on August 6, 2024. Rejection is normal, but do you really need two and a half months for it?

Aquaculture is now in a difficult situation. After being rejected, one can only resort to investing in the second district.

Water reaches new heights, still unaware of convergence. The quality of the article is worrisome! It should be blacklisted!

I'm mainly afraid that if I fail, I will be kicked out and won't graduate.

The editor processes the manuscripts quite quickly.

Same question, is it still SCI? Has a top-tier journal fallen to the point of sending email invitations for submissions?

(0) Thank | douboshi

Is it still SCI now? Can I still submit it?
