The acceptance time of articles is short, and the acceptance rate is 70% announced in the official website. It is really suitable for people who are in a hurry to graduate to submit. There were two reviewers, who both agreed to accept it after major revision for the first review, with a 7-day time for revision; it then was accepted directly after revision. The assistant editor is super good, he followed up every process in real time. Awesome! Credit card is recommended for payment. I used a bank wire transfer. I personally find it more troublesome. I have not returned to school, and I live in a county. The staff in the bank was not that familiar with the overseas remittance business and I even worried that the transfer may not be successful. During that time, I was very anxious, and browsed the submission experience everywhere, and now I would like to give you some feedback.

Advantages: fast review speed and high editing efficiency. It took 2 weeks from submission to acceptance. There were four reviewers in total, all of them were relatively professional, two of them accepted the manuscript directly, and two of them gave me three days for minor revision. I submitted the revised manuscript the next day, and it was accepted within 2 hours. Disadvantages: It was an open journal and charged a high publication fee.

June 11, submission; June 22nd, review comments returned (major revision); June 30, revised paper submitted; morning of July 1, comments of minor revision received; evening of July 1st, revised paper submitted again; and July 2, accepted. The review is fast, and the reviewers and editors are very professional and responsible. But the editing service fee is quite expensive.

Are the revisions recommended in this journal made by the academic editor's comments to the authors? I only found one issue in my paper marked as major revisions, but I couldn't find any other comments for changes in other parts

2022.1.13 submission
2022.1.24 major revision (10 days) Two reviewers, one major revision, one minor revision
2022.2.1 resubmit the revision
2022.2.4 minor revision (2 days) Dissatisfaction with the response to the major revision from one reviewer
2022.2.6 accept
The whole process from submission to acceptance took a total of 25 days. Both the editor and the reviewers were very professional with their questions. It is recommended to conduct solid experiments before submitting, and ensure that the overall logical structure of the paper is clear. Otherwise, it may be rejected and it is advised to resubmit after making the necessary modifications. Additionally, the issues raised during the major revision were all very professional. The given 7-10 days were not sufficient if the relevant data and characterization were not prepared beforehand. This is just my personal opinion, and should be taken as a reference.

The manuscript review is very professional and responsible. If you're in a hurry, you can submit it, as the process is fast.

Although it is an open-source journal, it is a special issue, and the recommended reviewers are all experts in the field of catalysis. The opinions provided are relatively professional and not as perfunctory as imagined.

The speed is super fast. It takes less than two weeks from submission to acceptance. The article is innovative, but the process of concrete verification actually has flaws, and I don't want to conduct experiments to make up for it. In the end, it was changed to a weak mechanism biased towards application, mainly focusing on format, images, and attention to detail. The fee is indeed high.
Those in a rush to graduate can submit, and those who want to have a paper to rely on can also do so. If a master's thesis is submitted, there may even be a chance to receive a scholarship. Regardless of the quality of the journal, having a paper in hand reduces anxiety, and one can then focus on the rest.
