It is a journal in phytopathology. The article has been accepted after two minor revisions. I list the timelines for your information. It is a journal of American Society for Microbiology, which has pretty high requirements on the workload. It focuses on microorganisms. 01.29, manuscript submitted; 01.29, initial quality control; 01.31, with editor; 01.31, reviewing editor assigned; 01.31, under review; 02.29, minor revisions; 04.27, revision received; 04.27, initial quality control; 04.27, with editor; 04.30, reviewing editor assigned; 04.30, under review; 05.22, minor revisions; 05.26, revision received; 05.26, initial quality control; 05.26, with editor; 05.27, reviewing editor assigned; 05.27, under review; 06.09 accepted.

I have submitted the manuscript to this journal, and it is characterized by fast review and no delay. There are two ways of review. One is submitting directly, and the result of review will be given in about 15 days. If it is accepted, minor revision may be required. If major revision and supplementing experiments were required, It will be rejected first, and resubmission is allowed. The result is also given in 15 days. The second way is that your manuscript has been submitted to other journals. You should submit the review comments from other journals along with your revision. It seems that the result is given in 5 days. I was the first one. I was rejected first and asked to supplement the data and make revision. I submitted it after supplementing the data, and it was accepted in about 15 days. So, reviewing fast is not slipshod in work, but speeding up the review speed, which saves authors a lot of time. As for the quality, mSphere is a journal of ASM, which should not be bad.

The review process was very fast, the only drawback being that all responses to emails had to be made through its submission system. Sending emails directly to the editor would not be received at all. Because of this, it delayed for more than a month. If you are confident in your manuscript, you can choose a senior editor when submitting. Senior editors have direct review and decision-making authority. At the time, I did not understand this and chose a senior editor (later found out to be a member of the National Academy of Sciences), who returned the review comments in just one week.

The main task of the introduction is to outline the basic content and structure of the entire text for the author. Firstly, it is necessary to comprehensively summarize the past and present situations in the field, especially the latest developments and references to classic literature from the past. Analyze the limitations of previous research and clarify the innovative points of one's own research

I would like to ask why the status with the editor has remained unchanged

Plant pathology direction, two minor revisions have been made, the timeline is posted for reference, ASM's journals still have high requirements for workload, biased towards microbiology direction.

Review Speed: 1.0 Experience Sharing: I have submitted to this journal before, and the characteristic is that the review process is fast and efficient. There are two ways for review: one is direct submission, which takes about 15 days to receive the review result. If accepted, minor revisions may be requested. If major revisions or additional experiments are needed, the submission will be rejected, but you are allowed to resubmit, and you will receive the result within 15 days. The other way is to submit your manuscript that has already been reviewed by another journal along with the review comments and your revisions. The result can be received in about 5 days. I chose the first way, and initially my submission was rejected and I was asked to provide additional data and make revisions. After making the necessary changes and resubmitting, my submission was accepted within 15 days. Therefore, this journal's fast review process is not just for show, it really accelerates the review process and saves authors a lot of time. In terms of quality, mSphere is a journal under ASM, so it should be reliable

Can I ask which quartile this journal is in? The previous Clinical and Vaccine Immunology was in quartile three, but the journal no longer exists and has now been moved to mSphere. What quartile is it now?
