The review speed is relatively normal. The manuscript was submitted at the end of July; The first review comments were received at the end of September; Major revision was required in the first review, and minor revision was required in the second review; It was accepted at the end of October. The whole process was relatively smooth.

It's really different after (this journal) being promoted to Q2! The speed of review was fast: 08-Jan-2020, submission; 13-Feb-2020, the result of first review was received, and major revision was required. And then minor revision, and finally accepted.

2025-2-25 Awaiting Reviewer Assignment
Deputy Editor Luo Xuan responded that the reviewer did not accept the review and asked the supervisor to add more reviewers. Seeing that it was the deputy editor, my heart sank, I am really afraid of being rejected, but it has come to this.

Recently I have been reviewing an article in this journal, originally had a lot of suggestions (including language (clearly edited by non-professional non-academic personnel), writing logic, missing important information, lack of data support for important results, meaningless Discussion) for a major revision. After reading the comments of the original poster, I decided to reject it decisively. It is possible that the authors, upon receiving feedback from the reviewers, will start mindlessly arguing without even fully reading it, so why bother. Young people, don't be so rebellious. First think about how to accept, then think about how to reject

This journal actually requires a page fee of 6500 yuan! My article has already been published and indexed, and suddenly they're sending an email asking for the page fee. Ridiculous

Dr. CHEN Yang's efficiency is very high, and the reviewers' comments are also very professional. The manuscript has made significant progress from the first submission to publication. I hope JOL will continue to improve and become a better national journal!

Posted on January 17, 2022, arranged two reviewers.
Rejected on February 21, 2022.
The rejection reason is extremely lame. Both reviewers are just like **, not experts in the field at all. The questions they raised are like **. They couldn't even understand the article. Clearly, I presented the results, yet they asked me where the basis for the conclusion is. The basis is in ** results! They forcefully claimed that my article lacks logic, and the paid formatting and references in the journal said they are not standardized. It's really ** ridiculous!
I believe the rejection reason is unreasonable and I am appealing.
Successful appeal on March 3, 2022. Re-review, this time only one reviewer is assigned. Rejected again on April 2, 2022, with the reason being the language is not good.
Another reviewer who couldn't understand the article, couldn't provide any constructive questions, and even used Chinese-style English with incorrect grammar to say my language is not good. When you ** criticize someone else's language, can you first look at your own Chinese-style English?
In short, it is a ** journal, forcefully dividing into a second-tier by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I even thought of supporting some domestic journals, but I didn't expect them to be all **. Later, my article was submitted to another journal, and after minor revisions, it was directly accepted. JOL, go ** yourself.

Submitted at the end of December last year, received major revisions comments on February 10th this year, returned on March 1st, minor revisions on March 3rd, accepted on March 9th.
Dr. Chen's efficiency in handling the manuscript was very high, and the entire submission process went very smoothly (although the submission system is far inferior to Elsevier's).
Additionally, I would like to mention that everyone should still support domestic journals. Judging from the three sets of expert opinions I received personally, the level of the invited reviewers is not low, and this journal still has potential.

If we don't support domestic journals, we will forever be making wedding dresses for others! Copyright will all go to foreign journals! With more contributors, the quality of domestic journals will naturally improve! Wake up! I hope domestic journals will become better and have higher quality!

When will the mindset of planned economy be able to be eliminated in the national scientific research system? The entire magazine consists of submissions from Chinese people, lacking internationalization. They entertain themselves daily and even claim to be in the second tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' divisions. How thick is the face of these people? I hope comrades who have submitted articles will not criticize me. I am just discussing the matter objectively and speaking the truth. (I have not submitted any articles, I randomly filled in the submission information above due to it being a required field.)
