This journal has a very fast review speed. One article was submitted, and three reviewers’ opinions were received in more than 20 days. It can be seen from the opinions that the two minor revisions and one major revision were required, and they were meticulous and objective, but the managing editor rejected the manuscript and allowed it to be resubmitted. It took me two weeks to make serious revisions and resubmit. The editor sent it to the reviewer who had required a major revision before and invited a new reviewer again. This time the two reviewers were more satisfied, and asked us to revise some details. Two days later a notice of acceptance was received, and it took a total of about 2 weeks for the resubmission. Journal editors and reviewers are still very responsible, with an impact factor of about 2, which is quite acceptable in the field of entomology.

This journal was not included in SCI until 2017, which was valueless. A researcher did the research on transcriptome, and the article was accepted. He changed the animal and did research on transcriptome, and the article was accepted again. Two SCI articles were published in a month, what else can I say besides awesome?

How is it going now? I have also been editing that part for more than ten days.

Compared to the data shared by others, this submission has been very difficult, with the progress of each review process being very slow. It has been a total of 2 months and a final decision has still not been made, with the initial review taking 1 month, the revision taking 10 days, and the final decision taking over 12 days. I am very anxious and seeking an analysis of the possibility of acceptance.

After conducting a 2-year field experiment, Xiaoxiu was hired, and the process was very quick. Communication with editors from the home country was very convenient, and Xiaoxiu was very satisfied with being in the top 2 districts.

It is said that after submitting to MDPI, you will receive an email within 2-3 days requesting the submission of an informed consent form. However, it has been two days and I have not received it yet. The status on the message page has been "ending review". Is this reasonable?

Is graphic abstract required in the submission guidelines on the journal homepage?

I don't know about other things, but the speed is quite fast. We asked another teacher, and she said the research group has funding, so we can give it a try. The supervisor is also very supportive and encourages us to submit.

I thought he was studying insects, but almost all the plant physiology-related journals have been criticized by this "First Gong." It's really speechless.

Most of the submissions we receive do not meet the criteria for our magazine and are rarely accepted for publication. This is a for-profit journal

In order to remain objective, I submitted three times and all were instantly rejected by other magazines, including one or two point magazines, and in the end, spent twenty thousand dollars publishing in Insects. As long as it fits the scope of the journal, it is unlikely to be rejected

Insects can still score high marks?

It's true that some people get rejected, it's not realistic to get no rejections. But giving 10 days for major revisions and five days for minor revisions, is just playing tricks? The article is so bad that it's hard to look at.

The acceptance rate after submission is almost 100%. However, there's a water-filled zone for low-quality submissions. Being picky is not a good thing

This person is so annoying, really has nothing better to do, always talking nonsense all day long. Definitely has too much time on their hands, what kind of research can they do, if you really look into it, it will surely surprise you

The comments in this section are full of nonsense, like a clown jumping around. Do you have the qualifications to evaluate insects by talking about some plant-related things? You don't even know how ignorant you are. Entomology is already a niche field, and the big shots in the entomology community are not as arrogant as you. I don't understand why some ignorant people like you can't stand others' success. What kind of article can you write? The answer is obvious from your mouth full of nonsense. If you have the ability, then reveal your true identity for everyone to search for

It's ridiculous that some non-entomologists are commenting on insects. In the field of entomology, aside from a few top journals like Insect Science, Entomologia Generalis, Journal of Pest Science, Pest Management Science, Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, Systematic Entomology, and a few classic journals in the second tier such as Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Insect Molecular Biology, which other journal in the second tier is better than Insects? Why is it that Insects can't make it to the top of the second tier? It is said that it was pushed to the top by domestic scholars, but what is the percentage of Chinese authors in the articles in these journals before making a judgement? If the WoS is divided into the first tier and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is divided into the top of the second tier, how do you know more than these two institutions? Please go to your own field to comment and do not embarrass yourself in a field that is not your own, so as not to become a laughingstock

You cracked me up... Can I ask if this magazine rejects submissions? I don't think I've ever heard of anyone being rejected

(0) Thank | 首龚

It's not easy to get published in 2024, the opinions of the three reviewers are very professional, the quality of the journal is getting higher. There is a reason why it is still a top journal in Chinese Academy of Sciences. I hope to maintain this and strive to break into the first tier of Chinese Academy of Sciences

(8) Thank | 早起鸟儿

There are many talented insect experts in the country. This kind of magazine can easily be pushed to the top. It's really simple to make entomology to the top
