The processing speed of this journal is very impressive. After one month after sending for review, the review was completed. There were three experts. It took only more than 2 months from acceptance after revised submission to online publication. The logistic services were also very efficient, and emails were basically responded on the same day. The submission and review system is the most comfortable one I have ever used. I feel that IF will continue to rise, and many experts will publish on it.

Two papers were accepted after revisions. The editor was serious, and the publication fee was a bit expensive.

I feel love and hate for this journal. Originally a lab member suggested submitting to this journal. They say it is fast. I didn’t think they were fast, but this journal gave me the opportunity. I will recommend other lab member to contribute.

2025.1.13 Proofreading, the proofreading teacher is very careful, because there are many charts and the article is long, the proofreading work is complex. It may also be the reason for the late proofreading. The proofreading teacher proposed more than twenty proofreading suggestions, covering the entire article from title to references. Spent several hours carefully proofreading and submitted the proofreading draft on the same day.

From submitting the paper starting from February 8th to being accepted in early June, it took about 4 months. There were a total of 3 reviewers who were quite diligent and responsible, providing many suggestions. We made gradual revisions based on their feedback, and ultimately the paper was successfully accepted!

What makes me most comfortable is that I can see the review comments of F company in real time, without having to wait for all the comments to come back and rush to make changes. I can make some changes in advance and the time for rework is still quite short, so there is room for adjustment.

Brief review, the first attempt of an undergraduate student. The initial draft was not very good, but the editor gave me a chance to revise it several times. It took about 3 and a half months to be accepted, and another half a month to be published. It didn't feel as fast as others had mentioned. The review comments were 2224 4443, and the reviewer's feedback seemed very fair to me at my level.

Wasted three months, three reviewers finally accepted two of them, and one provided some comments. Just as I was about to respond to the last comment, the editor suddenly rejected me... speechless.
