This magazine is not fast, with a publication cycle of at least half a year. The review process is strict, making it a journal with great potential.

The paper was rejected by both PNAS and Cell Reports after submission, so I had to submit it to this journal in a hurry to graduate. The first round of external review took a bit long, about 3 months. After minor revisions and conducting additional experiments for about 20 days, the paper was accepted within a week after resubmission. Although this journal's reputation is not very high, it seems to be on the rise and should be promising in the future. After all, the impact factor is stable and gradually increasing, and the quality control for articles is acceptable. The only drawback is that the external review process is too slow.

This journal is so slow, the first review by the editor took more than a month, I'm really fed up. And then it got rejected. I've never seen a journal that takes more than a month for the first review. I'm done with it!

Hello, may I ask if you have received it now? How long will it take for the second review to come back?

Overall, not very fast, but feels pretty good.

The review process is relatively slow but not excessively slow. It takes 2 weeks for initial review, 1 week for editor review, 2 months for external review, and a decision can be made within half a month after revisions. The manuscript is currently undergoing revisions in wja, so we will have to wait patiently.

The editor did not respond to the question about the specific reasons.

A very quirky magazine, the second revision of the article was rejected. Both articles took seven to eight months for review, with two to three rounds of revisions, and the final revision was suddenly rejected. I really don't understand why. I won't submit to them again!

I was lucky enough to have one article accepted in this journal. It's pretty good! Because it was transferred to Agricultural and Forestry Science, it became a Q1 journal, which is quite prestigious!

The chief editor has a very sharp foresight, the future trend of the journal is unstoppable. Although the overall feeling is a bit slow, the editors and reviewers are very responsible and their comments are also very incisive.

It's really slow. I submitted it in May 2024, and the first round of review took four months. After some minor revisions, two new external reviews were requested, which took another three months. One was approved directly, but the other asked for some fonts to be changed to italics. Should fonts changes really require another external review? The revised draft with font changes was sent for another external review!!!! It's been another month!!!! If you don't have time, please don't submit!!!! It's okay to have multiple external reviews, but why do we need another one just for changing fonts? How would the external review expert feel after seeing this?

I submitted the manuscript at the beginning of the month, went through three rounds of reviews, with a new reviewer each time. It took two to three months in the hands of the editor before being submitted each time. It was not accepted until December 29th, which was too slow. As a result, I did not graduate successfully in June. Please choose carefully, as the process is extremely slow.

Hello, where can I see the invited reviewers and editors? How long has it been for you?

It's really too slow. The second round of revisions was sent back in September, and it wasn't sent out for external review until November. Moreover, a new reviewer was invited for the third review. This editor never gives the revised manuscript to the original reviewer, which feels very disrespectful to the reviewers. Every time, a new one is sent.

The review process is very fast, but the page charges are a bit expensive.

Congratulations! Did you also have to send multiple reminders via email before they finally accepted it?

After paying the page fee, the proofreading was finally completed. It is estimated that it will be published soon, with a total processing time of about 8 months from submission to publication. I was lucky that the reviewers were friendly and did not make things difficult for me. The editor-in-chief is also the academic editor of the manuscript and is also friendly. I hope the journal will continue to improve. However, recently there have been too many articles from Chinese authors, with over 90% of them being of questionable quality. Everyone should be cautious!

Your comments are hilarious. I am also in a tough situation. I submitted my application on February 2nd, and by early April, it was sent back for revisions. I have not heard anything since. Despite sending multiple emails for updates, I have not received any responses. And if I do get a response, it just repeats the same issues. However, I have already resolved the issues mentioned earlier.
