After ten days of submission, I will be notified of “Rejection and decline resubmission”, with no reasons. None of the three reviewers gave negative opinions. We were very confused about the direct rejection. I sent an email to the editor in chief, asking for the reason, and it took a few days before a reply was received. They just insisted on the original decision without any reason. I am very angry and I suggest you to think twice.

The effects of antioxidant additives on animal metabolism were submitted for review and feedback from three reviewers was received approximately half a month later. One reviewer's feedback was difficult to handle, but after explanation, minor revisions were accepted. The editorial team was efficient in handling the manuscript and was friendly in accommodating requests for an extension of the revision deadline through email communication.

The article in the field of medicine has been submitted to several journals with ratings of 8 or above in the past, all of which were rejected. At the end of 2023, it was submitted to Antioxidants and 40 days later, a minor revision was requested. A total of over 20 questions were raised by 3 reviewers (originally there were 4 reviewers, but the fourth one did not reply and was removed). The comments were overall friendly and covered various aspects such as format, experimental design, statistical methods, discussion interpretation, etc. However, only 5 days were given for revisions, making the process stressful. After revising, a notification of acceptance was received within a week, and the proofs were available on the journal's website on the third day. Approximately half a month later, it could be searched on Web of Science. Overall, the process was efficient and the submission system was user-friendly, but there are still many risks associated with MDPI journals, with a questionable reputation. Although this journal has an impact factor of 7, it is recommended to submit to well-established journals if there is no rush

My research is related to forestry and reactive oxygen species. It took 44 days from submission to acceptance, with a review period of 14 days and 30 days for revisions. The feedback was very prompt, and the editor was responsible. The score before publication was 7.65, and after publication it was 7.0. However, I also earned some money.

Expert review is very strict, some questions are difficult to answer, and even the conclusion has an impact on the publication of the article.

It is mainly a medical journal, but it also meets the journal's requirements for plant protection aspects related to antioxidants. The review process during the summer vacation was a bit slow, and it took almost two months for the minor revisions. After the revisions, it was quickly approved in the first review. The claim that it costs 1200 Swiss francs is nonsense; the fee is 2200.

Reviewed in one week. The speed is considered fast. The editor is very serious and responsible. The selected reviewers are also very professional, and their comments are very constructive. Some experiments were added in the middle. The only downside is that the revision time is very short, only 10 days, and the additional experimental time is quite tight. Overall, it is still good and accepted after several rounds of revisions in about two months.

The speed is very fast. It was submitted on February 17th, and the next day it was assigned to an editor. The editor was very responsible and immediately pointed out a misspelled word. The submission was sent for review within a week, and the first review result was available in two weeks. After minor revisions and resubmission, it was accepted the next day. It is important to note that submissions should not be made using QQ email, as some editors do not like it. If you do not have a work email, you can apply for a 126 or 163 email.
