Excuse me, have any of the recent recipients seen the notice from the author that there is a layout fee? After receiving it, did you pay the layout fee? I'm a bit confused whether he means that after receiving it, others can download the article for 600 yuan per page, or if he means that you need to pay 600 yuan per page for submitting a contribution.

15 pages cost 9100 yuan, it seems like he is charging by the number of pages.

Hello, will this journal eventually have a publication fee of 600? I saw in the author's guide that all articles need to have a publication fee, is that true? Can anyone who has submitted before share their experience?

The feedback given about three weeks after submission, encountered some lenient editors and reviewers who suggested major revisions. After three weeks of revisions, the manuscript was resubmitted.

It has always been an authoritative journal in the field of steel metallurgy. In recent years, with the support of national policies and the bold reforms of the journal's editor-in-chief, the impact factor has soared, the number of submissions has surged, and the annual publication volume has remained basically unchanged, leading to many good papers being unable to be accepted for publication. In the past 10 years, a total of 3 papers have been published in this journal, 1 submission was rejected immediately, and was accepted after being submitted to Steel Research International. Another submission was also very unpleasant, with relatively positive review comments, but still sadly rejected. After arguing with the editor, the paper was eventually accepted by MMTB (a leading journal in the field of process metallurgy). In short, due to the sufficient source of submissions in recent years, the rejection rate has been repeatedly breaking records and has offended many people. Overall, as the popularity of the journal continues to grow, the difficulty of submitting papers will definitely increase. It is hoped that everyone can rationally handle paper rejections and that the editorial department will carefully consider avoiding accepting some papers based on personal relationships. A good journal must consider the national situation and think about evaluations of the same level. For small and large teams, representing different levels of achievements. Give fair evaluations and hope that domestic journals will continue to improve!

After reading some comments, I feel anxious. I will make a note of the submission process. It has been two weeks since I submitted the manuscript, but it has not been sent for review yet.
