Jul. 21, 2020 submitted. Jul. 26, 2020 under review. Oct. 16, 2020 major revision and reconsideration. Nov. 23, 2020 major revision and reconsideration. Dec. 08, 2020 accepted. The manuscript was about microbial high-throughput sequencing and was processed by the editor-in-chief Anderson de Souza Sant'Ana. There were 3 reviewers in total for the first review. One of whom raised questions about the process parameters, and the other two suggested supplementing experiments. I thought that you should be careful in replying to reviewers, and you still have a chance to have it accepted when it is in reconsideration! About 10 pages letter were replied for the first time. Later in the second review, questions about the control samples were raised. It was then explained in detail why it was designed like this. Finally, the reviewer agreed to accept it. Summary: Pay attention to every opinion of every reviewer and explain it where the differences exist in opinions carefully and clearly. Hope the journal gets better and better!

It is the first article published in this journal. I submitted three times in two years but all were rejected. The speed of this time is really unexpected. Hope the journal is getting better and better.

2019.6.18 submitted; 9.28 major revision; 10.28 major revision again12.20 accepted; 12.24 online. Generally, it is good. But it was revised twice and took almost 6 months in total, mainly because that I was too careless. The reviewers had a good attitude, and they were also very responsible and careful. The main reason was my own problem. If you modify it for the first time, you may save some time.

I just had a paper accepted by Food Research International. The journal’s impact factor in recent years is steadily growing, so if you have relevant data, try this journal. The good thing is that the language standards are not too high. Many people from non-English speaking countries publish their papers there, so there is no discrimination against the work of authors in non-English speaking countries, just need to minimize grammatical errors. The journal prefers to select some of the active ingredients that are currently hot, so it would help if your paper has novelty.

Submitted on December 13, 2025, accepted on March 16, 2025, the most influential factor is the first review DIP, directly DIP for a month before acceptance, not sure if it's because of the holiday in Brazil or something else. If it's under review, it's okay, but if it's not, we will directly DIP after "we", then it's hopeless. Usually, if it's not rejected within ten days after DIP, it will be troublesome. In short, be prepared for a month of no movement.

It's really slow, and it's not slow in terms of review, but the waiting time after becoming DIP is super long.
Submitted on 3.12
It took about a week to become DIP after submission, and then it stayed as DIP, continuously, until rejection. Since the decision to reject has been made, why can't it be straightforward?
Rejected on 4.13
