To be honest, the quality of the article above is really good. I actually submitted one twice and was rejected both times, it's really tough. Just take a look at the different sections, don't take it too seriously. Journals like CEJ can even be placed in the top tier, there's no one else like them.

Charging a fee is a small matter, as long as one is willing to pay.

The quality of the above article is really good. It may be that the acceptance of articles is very strict. Despite the lack of patience, one submission was not successful, but eventually accepted by PRB. Another submission was rejected in the first review, but eventually accepted by Advanced Science. It feels like a solid condensed matter physics journal, unlike those material journals that are just cooking up stuff with no physics involved. In terms of the level of articles, the physics field is almost reaching (second only to) PRL (top physics journal), with great potential for the future. Very promising.
