Hello, senior expert, I would like to consult with you as a research novice. The editorial department has sent a PDF attachment, which requires filling out a series of contents including Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest. I would like to ask you, how did you fill out this attachment at that time?

Hello, senior expert, I am a research novice and would like to ask for your advice. I have just submitted my paper for publication, and the editorial office has sent me a PDF attachment requesting me to fill in the Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest and other related content. I would like to ask you, how did you fill out this attachment when you submitted your paper? I would greatly appreciate your help.

Hello everyone, a beginner in research would like to consult with you experts. I have just submitted my paper for publication, and the editorial department has sent a PDF attachment, which requires filling out a series of information including Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest. I would appreciate it if you could give me some guidance on how to fill this out.

It's very strange. The process is relatively fast, but very annoying. In the first round, there were originally three reviewers who gave me ten days to revise. After I finished revising and submitted it, another reviewer was added to the system. The first three reviewers gave very positive reviews, but the fourth one gave a super negative one, with 6/3/10/16 comments respectively. In the second round, two reviewers approved it, and the one with the fewest comments did not reply in the second round. The one with the most comments came up with 26 more, but the issues were too abstract to address, for example: What can your work bring to farmers who have not achieved mechanization? After submitting the revised manuscript, it went into editorial decision and eventually I was rejected for resubmission. It was a successful waste of a month. I really don't understand this abstract journal.

From submission to acceptance, it only took 27 days, incredibly fast.

25.4.3 Receive reviewer comments (first round), both reviewers suggest minor revisions
25.4.11 Resubmit
25.4.14 Only one reviewer provided comments (second round, no issues, agreed to publish), then entered ped
25.4.21 Accepted
Overall, it's okay but slower than expected. It took over a month for the first round of reviews to come back, while classmates submitting to mdpi typically received feedback within 17 days. Just glad it got accepted.

It's been 9 days for me, still in PR status, not sure if I will be rejected.

Bro, how long has your pending review been? Mine has been pending for 10 days already, is it going to be rejected?

(0) 讚！ | zcyneu

I would like to ask how long has it been since you submitted to the ped? After the first revision on April 11th, the second round came back on April 14th with one reviewer but no comments. Since then, it has been in ped until the 19th.

It took almost a month from submission to major revision, with the Chinese New Year in between, not sure if it had any impact. Overall, it went smoothly and it took about a month to get accepted.

Received manuscript (pr stage) on December 4, 2024
Author confirmation + author biography + resubmission on December 10, 2024 (It seems that the resubmission refreshed their acceptance speed, otherwise seven days is too slow) (ur stage)
…
Confirmation of article processing fee on January 3, 2025 (this confirmation is inexplicable, waited almost a month for this news? Very anxious ◎_◎;)
Major revision on January 29, 2025 (received a major revision at five o'clock on the first day of the Chinese New Year -_- still need to go through mdpi, three reviewers, requested to complete within ten days, all are superficial revision comments)
Returned manuscript on February 6, 2025
…
…
February 26, 2025 (out of the three reviewers in the system, only one had a second round of comments, and this comment was also an acceptance for publication. The editor gave a small comment and returned it on the same day. P.S. Remember this editor)
March 6, 2025 (I couldn't stand it anymore, saw others receiving acceptance for their articles within two days at the final revision stage, mine has been silent for a week, so I sent an email to follow up)
March 7, 2025 (Another editor replied saying the editor who was handling my article had left ? and I need to wait patiently for a new editor to handle it)
March 10, 2025 (Accepted for publication)

Please do not use QQ email. This is my first time submitting to MDPI, and I don't understand it. I had to make changes back and forth twice.

Academician, what stage are you at now? I have been PED for more than 10 days.

What does the email look like? At which stage did you receive it?

(0) 讚！ | 嘀嘀嘟嘟

I PR for 10 days at that time, sending emails to urge them to review the code, also checking if each author has confirmed the confirmation email. However, the submission is almost due, so let's wait a bit longer. Good luck.

Hello, may I ask how the process is going now?

Hello, I am also in the field of instruments and meters. I would like to ask if you think it is easy to have submissions accepted and published in this field. Are the requirements for the content of the papers high?

(0) 讚！ | 贰叁

The first reviewer's opinion was average, while the second reviewer's opinion was quite good. The first round of revisions was given 10 days, and on the second day of submission, the first reviewer provided additional comments, requesting the addition of references, and gave 5 more days. After resubmission, it became "pending editor decision" within two days. It has now been pending for 17 days, and there has been no response from the editorial assistant to emails. Why is this happening?
