The amount paid including tax was RMB21780.25, which should be 2,200.00.

The official website is still at 2200 pounds, but it seems that many publishers increase prices once a year.

Are they all so rich? Or is the boss footing the bill?

The overall speed is acceptable. Most importantly, the score increased from 4 to 6 after acceptance, which makes me happy.

Excuse me, brother, do I need to provide ORCID when submitting for rework? I have been trying to link my account but have been unsuccessful, not sure what's going on.

It's too damn expensive, I will never invest again in the future.

The process was quite fast, submitted for 20 days, received major revisions. It took 20 days for the revisions to be returned. Approximately 10 days later, accepted, and then waited another week to pay. The reviewers were very professional, but the publication fee was too high, 2200 pounds, after taxes paid close to 22000 yuan. I may not submit again in the future.

Same question.

I heard that prices have gone up, but I haven't paid yet.

It's really not working. The price has doubled, but the speed is still so slow. It's been five days and I still haven't heard back from the editor. Isn't the whole point of open source projects like this to be fast?

During this period, there were repeated back and forth movements between "with editor" and "in peer review". On January 13th, two reviewers requested major revisions, which were also requested by the editor. On January 23rd, the editor sent a reminder email and an extension of 10 days was requested on the same day. The revised manuscript was submitted on January 28th and entered peer review on January 29th. It was accepted on February 14th. It may have taken longer overall because I submitted a review article.

It only took a little over twenty days from submission to acceptance, which is very fast. There were two reviewers, one provided very professional opinions, while the other was very perfunctory.

Excuse me, how do I pay the layout fee? Can I make an electronic transfer to an overseas account?

The journal is great, just received it, and I want to know how to become a member of it. Also, the page fee shows Alipay, but I don't know which one is better to use.
