POULTRY SCIENCE

My initial submission was returned twice due to format issues (sent me an email that the submission failed), which took up much of my time. Now I want to share the right format in which I successfully submitted the manuscript, in the hopes of helping others, though it may not be all correct. The first page contained the article category (several major directions stipulated by the journal, which can be found in the submission guidelines. For example, MICROBIOLOGY AND FOOD SAFETY, etc. It should be in a separate line, uppercase and bold, centered, in 14 pt Times New Roman), manuscript title (The first letter of the sentence should be capitalized, bold, and the requirements are the same as above), authors (font in 11 pt), and affiliations (font in 10 pt). Abstract and keywords should appear on the second page after a page break. ABSTRACT should be not indented, but capitalized and bold, and then enter the content of the abstract. Then start a new line, enter keywords in bold. As follows: ABTRACT xxxxxxxxxxxx (paragraph, 10 pt, 1.5 line spacing) Key words: xxxxxxxxxxxxx. Start the main text on the third page. Double-spaced. First-level headings such as INTRODUCTION are centered, bold, all uppercase, 14 pt, in a single line, 10 points of space after a paragraph. The first letter of the second-level heading should be capitalized, 14 pt, bold, italic, without indentation, in a separate line; The first letter of the third-level title is capitalized, 12 pt, italic, bold indented by 2 characters, adding a “.” in the end, and continue to write without starting another line. The main text should be 10 points of space after a paragraph and the font size is 12 pt.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS comes behind the main text. After it, break pages and put references. REFERENCES is in the first line, 14 pt, bold and centered. The figures and tables are placed at the end of the manuscript and each in a separate page. Remember to add consecutive line numbers!!!!! The format of my initial submission was as above. The editor did not return the manuscript but sent it for review. It may also be the case that the editor was bored by my two submissions, so he no longer clung to my format. Later, my revised manuscripts for the second review were only texts, and the figures and attachments were uploaded to the system separately. The specific format requirements can be found on the homepage of the journal. Also, it’s just the situation that sometimes I didn’t know what had gone wrong, and I was at sea when it was returned by a journal after I submitted my paper.

It was my first time to submit a manuscript to a SCI journal and I had no experience. This journal had strict format requirements. The manuscript was sent back twice because of format issues. In fact, I couldn't catch the format requirements of the journal since I felt that I had completely formatted it according to the format requirements. Because of format problems, I changed it and changed it. It was delayed from July to August and was not sent for external review. But it was finally sent for external review at the end of August. I checked the system every day and found that the status of the manuscript was constantly switched in the hands of external reviewers and editors. Maybe it was a change of several reviewers. After about 5 changes, I finally received the first review results in mid-October. One or two reviewers gave some comments about supplementing the literature, revising language and questions about some experimental contents. The journal gave me 6 weeks to revise. After I revised the manuscript at a snail's pace, I submitted it on the last day. On the third day, the system showed that it had been accepted. I am waiting for the proofread and publication. The publication fee is not clear. The feeling is that if the expert opinions are positive in the first review, the success rate is very high.

I personally feel that the editor is relatively young and has little experience. This year, the impact factor has risen, which is an improvement. I feel that as long as the content is novel, the review is rigorous, and the data analysis is appropriate, it is still a relatively good journal .

The specific time does not remember.About, the submission returned two weeks back to say that there is a format problem (I stupidly applied the landmark number), and then selectd for a month to give the repair advice, overhauled once accepted.Among the reviewers, one of the comments was particularly detailed. In fact, they were all format questions. The exact point should not be used. The other one gave a more general opinion, but he raised the problem with loopholes. I argued.Then there is the small format problem, to communicate back and forth with the editor many times, this place is the most time-consuming, I feel that the editor is relatively young and has no experience.This year, the impact factor has risen, and I am also dimmed.I feel that as long as the content is novel, the test is rigorous, and the analysis is appropriate, it is still relatively good.Come on, everybody!I also mistakenly hit the select, do not know if this can be anonymous?

The influence factor of this journal is medium and high in this subject, and the review is quicker. Generally, it will reply more than one month, but the page fee is especially expensive., generally in the thousands or even thousands of dollars.
