The invitation to review the manuscript was received through the mailbox, and it is required to review it and give the comments within 24–48 hours, but it is the mailbox to return the review comments instead of through the system. The quality of the manuscript is quite poor. I don’t know why it was sent for review. I feel a little confused. Did it review a fake manuscript?

I submitted the manuscript on October 2. Reviewers were invited on November 21. The manuscript was under review on December 4. Major revision was given on January 13. I resubmitted the manuscript on February 5. I made the minor revision and resubmitted it on February 26. The deputy editor-in-chief recommended it on March 1. I was waiting for the editor-in-chief’s decision to accept on March 5. It was accepted in microbiological testing on March 5. The time wasn’t short; it took more than 5 months from submission to acceptance. The article requirements were relatively high, especially the language and format. Students in a hurry are not recommended to submit papers to this journal.

Sorry, I made a mistake. All submissions made after September 1, 2024 will require open access publication, with an article processing charge (APC) of £2000. After a membership discount, the charge will be £1600.

(0) Thank | 科研菜鸡111

I saw on the official website notice that all submissions published in the OA format after September 5, 2024 will be published in this journal, as the journal will be fully transitioning to an OA journal in 2025.

Do you need to select the option for OA when you submit it?

(0) Thank | suuuuuu

Why do you ask me to choose OA when submitting a manuscript? Do I need to confirm where I went wrong?

What's going on with the current situation? Is it still not reviewed yet? Brothers!

The submission made at noon on August 29th is still Awaiting Editorial Office Checking as of today. Everyone says the review process is fast, but I am not very confident about it. It doesn't seem to be very quick. I would like to know how long it usually takes for everyone to go through this stage of submission.

What the hell, after receiving it, I haven't been paying attention to journals anymore, now I'm in the third tier ? How can it keep getting lower? I invested at 3.713.

After two major revisions, it has been 5 days since 1.20Awaiting EIC Decision. Did the editor-in-chief also take a holiday for the New Year?

It serves them right to be downgraded. There was a previous article that had two positive points and one negative point, but the editor felt it was suitable for a second-tier magazine and decisively rejected it. Now they dare not seek higher connections and are in the third tier.

Posted on March 23, 2022, accepted on December 8, 2022, and still not online now. The request for revision was delayed for half a month. Overall, it was quite friendly, and the reviewer's comments were quite professional. After the revision, it was sent for review again, and fortunately, the results were quite satisfactory. If not in a hurry or not too innovative, you can give it a try.
