Haha, how can one usually obtain the kind of coupons you mentioned?

Whether you resubmit or switch accounts, it doesn't matter because the submission system automatically checks the database for information. If your previous submission was rejected, the likelihood of another rejection in other MDPI journals is high. Unless the editor agrees to your resubmission from last time; or you have made significant revisions to the original manuscript, improving its quality or content, and clearly state this in the cover letter to the editor.

I browsed through the latest articles published in this journal, and it seems that the period for foreign submissions to be accepted is slightly faster (perhaps due to statistical deviation). Chinese submissions have already had many articles with a period of over 2 months.

It must be because you haven't paid the fee, you should pay the fee after receiving it. Otherwise, it will delay the next process.

It is necessary to adjust the format according to the template. I believe this is the requirement stated in the submission instructions.

You reviewed it so quickly, providing feedback in just 20 days. Acceptance in 30 days.

Agreed, this journal is still very standard and the review comments are also very professional. Not like those online. This may be a bit like the original Scientific Reports, which many people used to say was very easy to publish in, but those who have submitted know it's not that easy.

The number of articles published should be more than 10,000 in 25 years. According to the data released by the journal itself, there are approximately 800-1000 articles published each month in the first half of the year.

This submission has indeed been a rollercoaster ride, the third reviewer was quite stubborn, but in the end the editor made the decision directly
MDPI's reputation is indeed average, will strive to submit less in the future.

Have you submitted your article using a template?

5.15 afternoon accept
5.16 morning pay, afternoon revise manuscript

It's not going well for submission, invited new reviewers for reevaluation, it has been torturing for the past month. If urgent for graduation, suggest submitting the article to Water next door.

Do you need to adjust the format according to the template for the first submission?

The reviewers' feedback will be returned in 10 to 15 days, which is relatively fast.

2025.3.5 Under review
2025.3.14 Major revision with a positive tone, but one reviewer requested citing irrelevant sources, which was not done
2025.3.25 Manuscript Resubmitted
2025.3.27 Major revision, one reviewer accepted, while the other still had many comments, possibly due to not citing their work
2025.3.31 Manuscript Resubmitted
2025.4.9 Major revision, editor assigned a new reviewer, and the previous reviewer also had to review again
2025.4.20 Manuscript Resubmitted, cited from a different perspective, made major revisions based on the new reviewer's feedback
2025.5.6 Accept

Overall, over the course of two months, it doesn't seem as smooth as rumored. The editor's efficiency is high, but it's important to carefully address the reviewers' feedback. Each round of revisions had tight deadlines, requiring late nights to meet them.

May I ask what the outcome was later on? It seems like sustainability is not progressing as quickly as expected.

Hello, when is the deadline for submitting APC for this journal?

(0) 讚！ | BS-T

I have been in PED status for nearly 14 days. I asked the editor and they said they have contacted the academic editor, but did not provide any further details. I feel like it has been dragging on for a long time, so I am preparing to explain the situation to the editor and urge them to take action.
