You must be an off-campus tutor, 126 should work too. I have also seen some using QQ email, but it's rare.

Mainly because I don't have an institutional email address, the school didn't provide one, and all submissions are sent through a 126 email account.

Not necessarily all are school email addresses. I have seen authors with 163 email addresses. However, it's best to have a school email address. Some schools have cooperations with MDPI and can even get a 10%-20% discount on publication fees.

Hello, I would like to ask if the corresponding author of this journal needs to have an institutional email address. Do all authors need to have institutional email addresses?

Just like in the printed version, the SI abbreviation will not be displayed on WEB OF SCIENCE.

The thesis took a month to complete, but it was worth it even though CHF is a bit expensive.

He charges 4000 yuan for each time, which is unnecessary.

Wow, it's been a month for me too, very strange. Are you in the opposite direction?

It can be said to be very fast, with three reviewers, two of them approved the manuscript directly, and one provided detailed revision suggestions, which were quickly implemented. The editing process was also fast, with the final proofread completed overnight and the paper published online the next day at noon.
The cost is still quite expensive, so I am now preparing to submit to a journal in the second quartile after considering another MDPI journal.
