9.20, submission; 9.23, provided ethical license; 9.24, under review; 10.18, major revision. 10.28, resubmitted; 11.05, minor revision; 11.11, accept. It took nearly two months, and the reviewers were very responsible, who raised 40 questions in the first review. There were more than 20 pages of reply. After careful revision, the article was greatly improved. The editor was also very responsible and responded quickly if there was any question.

June 17 Submission; June 18 The editor is Aggie Zheng, who is very good, and you will get a reply soon if you send an email to her. June 19 Sending for external review; July 15 The opinions of two external review experts returned. One was very good and agreed with our research; the other was very negative and raised many questions, but it did point out the main issue of the article. Finally, the editor decided to reject the manuscript. The first time I submitted to a SSCI journal, the gain was greater than the result. Good luck to everyone ~

9.2 submission; 9.4 under review; 9.13 major revision; 9.22 minor revision; 9.22 accepted; 9.28 published online. We just published a study on environmental materials in pollution control. The whole process was less than a month. The speed is very fast, and the publication fee is very expensive, so it is particularly suitable for those who urgently need a publication and no shortage of funds. IF=2.101, Q3, so not bad. 4 reviewers, 3 agreed to accept, 1 suggested rejection. The assistant editor gave the decision of major revision. We spent a week to add experiments, and after we submitted the revised,  got a decision of minor revision. The reviewer who suggested rejection raised some critical questions and gave a lot of comments, but those indeed helped us to improve the manuscript. Assistant editor Miya Zhang is very efficient. As long as the manuscript has some novelty, won’t be too difficult to get accepted here.

Same question, if the acceptance is not indexed, can the withdrawal be refunded for the page fee?

If it's possible to retrieve it, can I apply for the proof later after graduation? Or does it mean that I won't be able to apply for the proof in the future?

(0) Thank | 小迷糊呀

I have obtained a retrieval certificate. Our school recognizes retrieval certificates. Currently, the article has not been retracted, and it is said that the trouble does not extend to previous articles. However, articles published after February do not have retrieval numbers.

Will the papers previously published on this platform (previously indexed by SCI) be removed? Will the graduation from school be recognized?

(0) Thank | 小迷糊呀

Yes, I have already been kicked out of SCI, but fortunately, my article has been indexed with a WOS number. It's a fortunate misfortune.

Was hired but kicked out of SCI before being indexed, can I get a refund for the publication fee?

The journal is great and worth submitting to.

From submission to acceptance took one month. One reviewer rejected it, and two suggested major revisions. Surprisingly, the person who initially rejected it accepted it after the revisions. Overall, it's not bad, just too expensive.

May I ask if you have a special issue or a regular issue? Are you the editor from Romania? I sent you a message on November 15th and haven't heard back from you until now.

11.28 Submission
12.11 Major revision with three reviewers. One reviewer gave a major revision with 1 "yes" and 5 "can" responses, with sharp questions, questioning the validity of the experiment and requesting additional experiments. The following two revisions were mostly "yes."
12.16 Revisions were made because the experiments were conducted before but were not included in the manuscript due to space constraints. Other parts were also significantly revised. The entire revision process was quite anxious.
12.21 Received a reply email accepting the paper after minor revisions. This time, some grammar errors in the images and text were corrected, which was relatively simple. It was revised and returned on the same day.
There were some minor complications in between (adding new authors), which caused a delay in processing. The journal editor rejected the request to modify the authors, citing MDPI's emphasis on the originality and accuracy of the authors.
12.26 Confirmed the accuracy of the funding information.
12.27 Confirmed the authors' names and emails, and made final modifications to figure captions, symbols, reference formatting, etc.
12.28 Final check.
Overall, this submission went very smoothly, taking only a month from submission to acceptance. The journal is in the WOS1 zone with a moderate impact factor. Additionally, my advisor had a coupon to waive the publication fee, greatly increasing the cost-effectiveness of the journal.
However, if I had to bear the 2500 CHF fee myself, I probably would not have chosen this journal.

Does selecting a section when submitting a manuscript cause the review process to be slower? It has been 4 days since I submitted, and it is still pending review.

(0) Thank | www7715

The paper published by our class in this journal has already reached 15+ articles. Our institute has blacklisted this journal, and it can only be used for graduation purposes, not for awards. Perhaps in the field of natural sciences, this journal is still good. After checking, some ordinary schools still use the papers published in this journal for promotion.

I submitted on August 12th and received minor revisions in 5 days, with only 4 changes suggested by the two reviewers combined. I revised it on September 3rd and it was accepted on September 5th.

Compared to a fellow junior student, my progress is considered slow. He got accepted in 10 days =-=

The article processing charge (APC) is really expensive, it's already 2500 francs (not the 2300 shown by LetPub). My advisor doesn't reimburse it, although it can be used for graduation, it still hurts financially.

Background: I started my second year of graduate school. My thesis was poorly written, but my senior brother successfully submitted an article and recommended me to the editor and my teacher, so it happened to be assigned to me.

Invitation: The teacher informed me that the deadline was the 20th, but I only submitted it on July 22nd.

Review: It was sent within two or three days.

Reviewer's response: The fastest response was on July 29th, and the slowest was on August 6th (on August 10th, the teacher informed me that I needed to make revisions and gave me ten days). The first two reviewers provided comprehensive feedback, requesting that my article be well-rounded. The third reviewer provided thirty comments on grammar and formatting issues. Submitted on August 19th.

Second review: Reviewers 1 and 3 provided approval for publication within two to three days.

Editor's decision: It should be made two days later.

Afterwards, there were final adjustments such as image pixelation, with a 24-hour deadline.

Publication: August 28th.

Slightly over a month, it was fast.

Received feedback from the two reviewers on August 9th, stating that the revised draft has improved and they agree to publish.
System showed acceptance by the editor on August 11th.
Received acceptance notification letter on August 12th.

Why are there two versions of ijerph on Letpub? According to the ISSN number, the interface should be correct.
7.5 submission
7.6 Editor assigned (Note: unless the next day is a weekend, otherwise not assigning assistant editors the next day will most likely result in a template rejection)
7.6 under review
7.28 minor revision (3 questions from two reviewers, easy to fix, basically all positive evaluations)
8.1 resubmitted
8.1 accept (within an hour, the status changed rapidly and was accepted... Minor revisions are fast...)
The editor is very responsible, and the whole process is clear. Additionally, it is recommended to make payment with a credit card, which is very convenient, but be careful to have enough credit limit as there may be extra charges for currency conversion.
