Journal of Integrative Agriculture

I’ve published articles in 7 top journals and 2 nature sub-journals. If it was not a request from my supervisor to publish in a domestic journal, I will definitely not submit to this journal. There is nothing to say about the reputation of this journal. It is a stain on my life to submit to this journal. I will never admit that I have submitted to this journal in the future. Countless times I want to withdraw the manuscript. This will be the first and the last time I submit to a domestic journal. The first time I saw a journal with less than 300 articles in a year published a special issue. A top team in the world published 14 articles in less than a year with the same expert as the corresponding author. On average, each article was published in less than 3 months from submission to publication. Each article has 3 figures and 2 tables on average. Our group is a world-class team, and the quality of papers far exceeds the highest level of this journal. But it takes a lot of time. The editor of this journal lacks professionalism, only plays word game and, let you revise the manuscript repeatedly. The journal will deliberately delay your time, after all, there are many experts from top teams. My submission process: submitted in November 2019; major revision in February 2020; minor revision in April 2020; minor revision in June 2020; after that, it continued to be delayed; Awaiting DIR Recommendation in August 2020. If you are in a hurry to graduate or value your reputation, or want to go abroad or your paper did not exceed the quality of a Q2 journal, you’d better not to submit to this journal. Even the quality of the articles published here are of a Q4 level for international SCI journals, you can only submit to this journal when your article has not reached Q1. The average time is about 6 months. In addition, this journal is in danger of being excluded from SCI. You’d be careful!

Sorry, I can't help but come here to complain about this journal. The review is really too slow. It took 3 months for the first review. I can’t wait to call the managing editor. The managing editor said that the review is over, but they must show it to the editor-in-chief. At that time, the system status was Awaiting reviewer. I don’t know if it’s wrongly spelt. Then the managing editor told me that the Section Editor-in-Chief hadn’t review it yet, and I may need to wait because he was very busy. After less than a second, the managing editor said, “Forget it. I’ll send you the comments. You can make the revisions first”. And then I started revising immediately. By the way, they let me make a major revision. After revising for less than 20 days, I quickly submitted it. Then I start waiting for the second review. It was sent to one of the reviewers of the first review. I waited and waited… After more than three months, it hadn't got reviewed yet. I just wanted to say, come on, will you hurry up? Now it can be considered as the end of the review, and it had been handling by the Section Editor-in-Chief. It has been held there for almost two weeks but no news yet. The impact factor of this journal is only less than 1. How can it be that a year was needed for reviewing the manuscript? I would not be surprised if it was closed. I just wish this rubbish journal be closed down soon, and I will never submit to it again. Suggest everyone not to submit.

Submitted in mid-May, got the decision of major revision after a little more than a month. The second round of review was done by a different reviewer for rereview, and the comments were much fewer than the first round. Then I was asked to do minor revisions. Accepted in early November, and officially published in April the next year. Some delay during the revision stage was due to my own reasons, and the status of editor final decision lasted for more than a month. This is the first time I submit to an SCI journal. I feel as long as the topic fits the scope of the journal, it’s not so difficult. The big drawback is that this journal recommends a language editing company. I think their editing wasn’t that good, so after I got their edited paper back, I had to selectively accept their changes.

The review speed is OK, but the review draft needs to pay 300 yuan for the review fee.I am now rejected and do not know how to reimburse...The editor found two reviewers. The two opinions are not very good, but the questions are more practical and relevant.

After 3 weeks of online submission, I received an editorial letter saying that the article model is more inappropriate for the journal, so it is no longer sent to the reviewer and directly rejected.

submitted four reviewers in the first instance, which was rejected and lacked in innovation. The journal asked to put the method at the end, but there are reviewers who should put it in front, so noKnow what is going on.

The journal is very self-willed and very proud. The first and second trials use different reviewers, which is rather lacking.The first two people were very quick, and the news was more than a month. They were all minor repairs.After the repair, he returned to the second instance, and he was rejected for more than one month. He was more than three months before and after.With such a harsh review rule, I feel that the journal has great ambitions. Although the starting point is very low, it is likely to become a top journal in agriculture in a few years.
