Four reviewers, one leaning towards acceptance, two suggesting minor revisions, one raising many sharp issues and leaning towards major revisions, although the conclusion provided by this reviewer was minor revisions.

At the beginning of this month, the submission was still pending precheck decision. Now it seems to have disappeared, as it was directly rejected after pending review.

How long does it take to withdraw a submission under review? It has changed to Zone 4 and I no longer want to submit it.

Mentally collapsed~ I shouldn't have invested in this if I had known earlier!

Without warning, it's just a bit unlucky, and now we've reached the fourth district.

From application to being hired within one month, won't there be any warning signs?

Speed is really fast~ There's nothing we can do about it~ I only chose this because it's the expert opinion of an external auditor. One person is really talking nonsense~ Fortunately, we accepted it~ It's also really expensive~ Even with a 20% discount, it still costs 1.7~ I hope we don't have to deal with this again in the future.

Could you please tell me how the editor resolved your plagiarism rate? I am currently facing the same issue. Thank you.

May I ask how you handle a high rate of repetition in your work?

After seven weeks, finally got an SCI, thanks to MDPI! However, the over 20,000 page charges are indeed expensive, trying to apply for a discount.

It has been 9 days since submission, and it has not been reviewed yet. It's frustrating.

The process is taking a long time, probably because the editor is on vacation and the assistant editor has forgotten about it.
