WATER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

2020.9.17 submit; 2020.9.18 under review; 2020.10.12 Major Revision, and 14 days were given; 2020.10.26 Under review after revision submitted; 2020.11.16 Accept, and the Copyright Assignment Form was given within 2 days. I do research on hydrotalcite adsorption. Originally it was submitted to Journal of Water Process Engineering, but we received a rejection letter the next day, saying that they don’t accept this type of article. Because I cited a reference in this journal, so I tried to submit it here. Overall, the review speed is very fast. Three reviewers, the first one had 8 comments, the second 6 and the third 5. We did not conduct the thermodynamics analysis. The first two reviewers required that thermodynamics analysis should be added. The third one let us discuss the adsorption mechanism, his other comments were all about minor issues, and he also asked us to cite a few of their articles. Then we supplemented the references, cited the references, and when it met the requirements, there was basically no more problem. I feel that the journal does not require high innovation for the articles, and in my direction, it is difficult to innovate. It will be ok if the experiment is reasonable and the process data is complete. Anyway, I hopefully can graduate, and I hope that WST will be better and better.

Time line of my  second re-submission: (should have been done in less than two weeks, and got delayed by other things happening at the end of the semester): 30 Dec 2017: Re-submission; 17 Jan 2018: Re-submission again (again saying that the other authors' mailboxes were not submitted to the system); 29 Jan 2018: With editor; 31 Jan 2018: Under review; 02 Feb 2018: Under review; 20 Feb 2018: Under review; 17 Mar 2018: Review comments completed; 19 Mar 2018: During decision; 19 Mar 2018: I received the editorial decision, minor revision (two reviewers, one gave 8 comments, the other gave one comment); 22 Mar 2018: Revised paper submitted; 05 Apr 2018: Accepted (third paper during my master degree study, finally accepted). Overall I feel the journal doesn’t require so much in novelty, but the research should be solid and rigorous, English should be decent, and comments should be addressed sincerely and thoroughly. With the right attitude and good effort, acceptance is not difficult. I want to emphasize that all authors' mailboxes must be correct, because an email with the verification link will be sent to each person's mailbox before the final acceptance, and the verification must be done before any further steps can be started.

Our articlesAfter the first submission of the manuscript, the opinion was not serious but the rejection was made, the appeal, the editor let the overhaul re-attend.What is done is the non-metal based composite catalyst photo-Fenton degradation of xanthate wastewater.First submission time node:08 Jul 2017: Initial Date Submitted17 Jul 2017: Initial Date Submitted (said that other authors' mailboxes were not submitted to the system, returning the changes and submitting again - in fact, we wrote, don't understand if it is the system)26 Jul 2017: With Editor28 Jul 2017: Under review22 Aug 2017: Under review14 Sep 2017: Under review01 Oct 2017: Under review12 Oct 2017: Under review02 Nov 2017: Required Reviews Completed03 Nov 2017: Decision in Process06 Nov 2017: reject (two reviewers, one with seven comments, one with nine comments, all of which are easy to change, but the editors refused to submit the manuscript, so we appealed, the editor wrote back to make the overhaul re-submitment, and the second submission returned another)

After reading the previous comments, the situation of personal submission is similar to that of your predecessors.This journal is not very demanding on innovation.As long as the experimental design is reasonable and has a certain amount of work, it is not difficult to accept it!Very interesting, this journal has strict restrictions on the number of positive texts submitted.The editing of the ps proof is very hard, not only the language misspelling, but also some minor errors involving the profession can be found and pointed out to make modifications.

1. Research content: For the preparation of environmental functional materials for the control of water pollutants.2. Submission process: The draft submitted on May 28, 2017; the editor of the first review on June 5 said that the number of the main text of the article should not exceed six, and a little format problem was raised, and the adjustment was made again on June 8th.On July 17th, the reviewer's opinion was returned, and the overhaul was made; after August 1st, it was revised and then re-submited; on August 15th, the notice was received and directly acceptd.On August 16th, the copyright transfer form was filled in, saying that it will be published two weeks later.Throughout the process of 3 months, the individual feels that it is faster for the four district journals.3. Contribution feeling:(1) Feeling journals have new requirements for innovation; but the research content must be solid and serious;(2) Reviewers and editors are very serious;(3) When answering the question, if the author himself takes it seriously (answer the question carefully and carefully modify the manuscript); after the modification, it is easy to be acceptd.4. Then pick up again!

This journal has a moderate review, but the time is too long.From the time of submission to the present, it has been more than 6 months, and the intermediate revision (small repair) has not yet had a final opinion.

This journal, dare not say that it is a hundred and one hundred, can also be called easy to publish.The content of the article is not high.That is, the impact factor does not go up.

made a few papers in WST, allAfter reviewing the meeting, I reviewed the manuscript again, so the time on the process dragged on very long.From the June meeting, the editorial department was notified to enter the review in October, and the revised opinion was received in December. The second year was officially accepted in February, and the paper was issued in July of the second year.

has been with the editor since the submission, and began to review the manuscript after 20 days. I met a very knowledgeable expert and tried it for 10 days. The criticism was more profound and directly based on the manuscript, but I was also convinced.Oral, but it’s not too long.Ps: At that time, I spent a lot of effort to delete the article from the accumulated 6500 words to 5000 words...

overhaul twice and then directly received, no substantive review comments, only change the grammar

(1) Thank | Anonymous

has been with the editor, waited for 1 month review comments, and then the editor refused to say that it does not meet the theme.Hey, why don't you say that, white waited for 1 month, the key is that the expert opinion has nothing

for more than two months, was rejected.The impact factor of this journal is not high, but it is more recognized in the water treatment.The length of the article has a word limit.

1The manuscript submitted in the month was given a major repair opinion in less than one month. It felt that the editor gave the overhaul. There was basically no specific opinion. After the revision, the review was repeated and waited for two months to reject the two reviewers.Comments on some language and details of the problem 爹 爹
