It's been a week since I submitted the article, and it's still in the editor's hands. It's just like the status of "we" right after submission. Is everyone else experiencing the same thing? It feels a bit slow.

You are looking at the wrong magazine, that one is opinion and this one is research, similar to LWT. OA Food New Area, research category.

Do you only accept commissioned articles? I noticed that there are very few published articles. Are the requirements very high?

The editor-in-chief is very friendly and has certain requirements for the originality of the manuscripts.

I have submitted my manuscript for a month now, invited 12 reviewers, but none has accepted yet. Should I send a reminder email?

Hello, how can I pay the article processing fee after the article is accepted? Approximately how long after receiving the acceptance email will I receive a notification to pay the article processing fee?

I'm just transferring after submitting to international food research. I was just hired and now there's also a fee for transferring, no exemption.

Are there any friends who have already invested? Is it still free to transfer investments now without any additional fees?

May I ask if you submitted your manuscript on June 8th? I have been experiencing issues with submitting PDFs to this journal for the past week. Have you encountered this problem as well?

Excuse me, is "Under Review" for this journal means it is under external review? However, I haven't received any email.

If you transfer from other journals and are confirmed for publication, the magazine will send you an email asking you to contact the customer service of Elsevier to explain the situation and request a 100% discount coupon. Once you have obtained the coupon, you can waive the page fee by following the instructions.

As long as you submit to other journals and they recommend you transfer to this journal, there will be no publication fee. However, I submitted directly and neither Food Chemistry nor International Food Research gave me the opportunity to transfer.

Submitted on May 20th, underwent major revisions at the beginning of July, added an experiment, returned for further revisions at the end of July, and finally accepted by the end of August. Overall, I feel that this journal is acceptable. The suggestions from the reviewers were indeed helpful, and after making the revisions, the quality feels much better than the initial draft. The previous logic was not clear. Before the end of 2022, there is a 50% discount on the Article Processing Charges (APC), which feels really good. It is worth recommending, and the publication process is very fast. The editor is Chinese and handles things very efficiently and quickly. We submitted in the morning and received the review in the afternoon. As long as the reviewers respond quickly, the publication speed is not a problem. Our professors also say it is good, and it's definitely better than MDPI. In the field of food, it is still recommended to submit to Elsevier journals, after all, all the top ones are in this field.

How is the layout fee exempted? Is it enough to be transferred?

(0) Thank | hght

I switched from food microbiology and was exempted from the page fee. As a new publication under Asville, it took less than 4 months from submission to publication, which can be considered very fast.
