2019.12.20, submitted; 2020.03.07, major revision; 2020.03.13, resubmitted; 2020.06.13, minor revision; 2020.06.18, resubmitted; 2020.06.19, accept. In general, the review speed was a bit slow. However, the reason is understandable: The article was lack of innovation. Although it was sent for review by the editor, the reviewer would generally reject to review it after reading the abstract in the email. And the editor was keeping inviting the reviewers. I was also invited to review five or six articles for this journal in a year. In general, when I see the abstract is a bit innovative, I accept the review. Even many experiments were done, as if the text is in a mess, I will reject it. As long as the design of the experiment is complete, I will basically require for a major revision. The acceptance rate of this journal is good, except for its low speed. If you want to speed up the publication, then submit to MDPI. Although the publication fee is high, the speed if extremely fast.

2020.2.25, submitted (then a long time for under consideration); 2020.4.13, major revision (three reviewers, who raised 24 questions. Maybe I was not lucky, the questions were too difficult to answer, and there were many experiments required to be supplemented); 2020.5.28, the revised manuscript was submitted (only one month was given by the editor for revision. However, due to the pandemic this year, I couldn’t return to school to supplement the experiment. I email to the editor to extend the revision time to 2 months. It was too miserable. Because I was afraid of being rejected, the review comments were answered very seriously. The response written by WORD was 4 pages long. And then, the status changed to under consideration again); 2020.6.14, accept. (A reviewer asked me two questions. Luckily, the editor accepted it directly, otherwise, I couldn’t catch up with my graduation. Thank you very much for the editor.) My feelings: 1. Firstly, it doesn't matter how many harsh questions the reviewers ask (including doubting about the authenticity of the data %>_

There are a lot of formatting requirements. It will take a long time to change the format. It was under consideration in the editor's hands or in the review state. Review comments were given within 40 days after submission, minor revision was required. There were two reviewers, one of them raised some minor questions and the other put forward some constructive comments. One month was given for revision, I submitted it in three weeks, and it was accepted in a month. I just missed the time of evaluating the scholarship. I was disappointed. I was requested to revise the graphical abstract after acceptance. I was prompted that the format was incorrect after several times of revision. And, it finally succeeded after simplifying the graphical abstract. Then to proof, I was asked to make it proofed online. I finished it with several days’ efforts. Then after another month or two, the article can be retrieved on the website of Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Science. Then after another month or two, I can retrieve my paper on the web of science. It feels very complicated and laborious to me.

The submission experience is quite rough. In September last year, the manuscript was submitted, and the first review ended in February of this year. The editorial attitude was very good and very responsible. The returned review comments were very specific, and the comments were very professional. The overall feeling is that the review cycle is relatively long.
