M-D-P-I is a combination of funny jokes and expropriation who recruit undergraduates as editors to review. The reason why review speed is very quick is that the manuscripts are probably reviewed by undergraduates.

Review comments were given after half a month. The reviewers were relatively friendly, and the editor requested minor revisions. It is currently under revision! If it can be sent for review, there is hope that this manuscript can be accepted. Many of them were rejected by the editor!

I heard that the review speed is very fast, and the results will come out within a month. However, my manuscript was directly rejected by editor Wang. It seemed that there were too many manuscripts to be sent for review. The real reason should be that the experiment was incomplete. I think that it has average requirements for innovation but high requirements for experimental integrity. The review should be the main factor for a high impact factor.

This journal has high standards for novelty. The review is very rigorous. Its impact factor has surpassed JGV and Virology. If a paper is not very good, it is very likely to be rejected.

Virus-related journals are already niche! Under MDPI, it's really efficient! The peer review process is relatively fast! The assistant editors are very responsible, but after submitting a manuscript, you will receive all sorts of odd emails!

There's no need to spend 20,000 on a Q3 journal! It's too costly! And the reputation of MDPI is not good!

How come I didn't make it in one month, I was rejected in just one day, crying to death

Now submissions must upload the original image of Weibo, and if it is sent for review, the status will be under review

I have published one paper in this journal before when it was a second-tier journal. However, after it was downgraded to the third tier by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I no longer consider submitting to this journal. I often receive invitation links to submit to MDPI journals, they really cast a wide net!

Around 14 days after submission, the editorial assistant will need to submit the original data of the manuscript to the World Bank. Can you confirm if it has already been reviewed externally at this point? Or is it still pending external review?

(0) Thank | 玉霄庚戌

The deadline is set for February 25, 2023.
The expert raised two questions and suggested conducting an additional experiment, with a required response within five days. Follow the instructions, conduct the experiment, and answer the questions. The online publication will take place after 19 days.

MDPI is more commercialized than other open access publishers and pursues profit maximization! The number of published articles is increasing! From submission to publication, it usually takes about a month to resolve, and revisions are typically completed in a little over a week! One can imagine the quality of the articles!

This MDPI has been warned, and the Fourth District should also be

There is indeed a phenomenon of forging peer reviews.

Some of the manuscripts look decent, but the majority of them are rubbish.

How long have you been pending? I have been pending for 2 days now

(0) Thank | 光明尔晴

How long does it take to send for external review and how long does it take to receive feedback on the first review?

(0) Thank | 光明尔晴

It has been pending review for 2 days, I wonder how long it will take to be sent for external review

(0) Thank | 光明尔晴

Could you please tell me what the reference format is? I can't find a suitable format in EndNote

Do I need to paste the manuscript into the Word template provided?

This seems unimportant!

Do not use institutional email addresses for all authors!

The focus should be on covering as much preliminary research work as possible, without a limit on the number of articles
