The journal has a good reputation in the industry. Although the impact factor was a little bit low, it is stable in the top of Q1. It took three months from submission to acceptance, which was still quite fast. I hope this journal gets better and better, and everyone will cite more.

The review is still very fast. 2020.2.1 first submission; 2020.2.3 R1 (some parts of the figures did not meet the requirements); 2020.2.4 second submission; 2020.2.6 R2 (it was still the problem of the figures. The first time there was a problem with the legend, the second time the figures were not clear. Each figure has a dpi of 1200, and the figure was uploaded separately. However, after the system merged them into PDF, they were not clear and the problem cannot be resolved. We explained the situation to the editor and then it was resubmitted and the status became “review”); 2020.2.8 Under Review; 2020.4.8 Minor Revision was required (and three weeks were given); 2020.4.28 R3 was submitted; 2020.5.1 Accept. It went smoothly. Although the editor required a minor revision, I treated it as a major revision and almost all of them were revised. In addition: I would like to ask you how to solve the problem of unclear figures in the PDF generated by the system after they are submitted separately? (I have also encountered the situation before.)

Submission in early October 2019; major revisions in Mid-February, submission on March 5, 2020; minor revisions on March 26, 2020; acceptance on April 1, 2020. “with editor” lasted a long time, 3–4 months. Major revision. Four reviewers raised nearly 20 questions. Fortunately, the problems were concentrated in the preface and the reference parts, and the required supplementary experiments can be explained, and there was no need to supplement experiments. It was very difficult to submit a paper for the first time. This paper had been submitted before and was rejected. Later, the experiment was supplemented according to the opinion of a reviewer. It was resubmitted. It took 2 years. Fortunately, it was recorded and I can graduate!

A little long, but the editor and reviewers were very sincere, patient and fair.

The submission to Food Chemistry X was promised a transfer to a reputable external review, but after reading the comments below, I decided to abandon the transfer.

I'm screwed. I'm also the editor in charge of the first round of revisions. He said he wouldn't accept it no matter what, but he still gave it back for revisions. I gritted my teeth and made the changes.

This editor cannot be found on the official website of the journal. Is this person simply an NPC who rejects submissions (regardless of the quality of the manuscript, they will still send it for review, and regardless of the reviewers' opinions, they will reject it)?

The review process is very slow and always needs to be urged.
The review period is usually 14-16 days (the deadline for reviewers of other Elsevier journals), but the reviewers of this journal usually delay for a month or more.
April 22 submitted
April 27 under review
June 3 first review completed major revision
June 9 1st revision for resubmission
June 9 under review
July 23 second review completed major revision
Invited new reviewers, resubmission reviews are not the original reviewers. Encountered an unreasonable reviewer who raised questions that were seriously off the manuscript content.
July 27 refusal to make changes.

Is it necessary for this journal to be open access now?

Your progress is so fast, I'm envious. Do you only need three reviewers to complete the review?

(0) Thank | sqq

Your progress is so fast, I envy you. So, a total of 3 reviewers need to complete the review, right?

(0) Thank | sqq

I submitted in January, and only two reviewers have completed their reviews so far. I am feeling quite anxious.

(0) Thank | sqq

What's going on behind the scenes? Did you follow up with the submission, or did the editor automatically assign a new reviewer? I also encountered a second reviewer who hasn't provided any feedback...

I have been UNDER REVIEW for 32 days, is this normal?

Congratulations to the host! What a coincidence, I also submitted on 2.14, but the first review has not ended yet. I hope to pass on some good luck to you, hahaha~~

Congratulations! This is the first time submitting to this magazine, and it has been five months since submission and the review has not yet been completed. I hope to receive some good luck~~~.

I am just like you, I sent it to 9 reviewers, only one accepted. It has been half a month since the review started. I submitted it on June 10th, and it has been "with editor" all the time. It was not sent for review until July 10th.

Have you done the external audit? Should we transfer directly or transfer after the external audit?

(0) Thank | biomichael@163.com

How come it's so fast? Did it only take 10 days to review?

I sent two consecutive emails "friendly" greeting the editor, asking him as a person. The key is, you said I didn't fit the theme, and you asked me to submit to another open-source magazine called "Results in Engineering," isn't that even more off-topic? So, I suspect the editor is benefiting from Results in Engineering and getting a commission. Damn it.

The same, submitted in March. After revising, the reviewer agreed to accept it. However, the editor rejected it, saying it did not fit the theme of the magazine.
