2019.12.27 submitted to journal; 2020.1.3 with editor;1.16 under review; 3.31 major revision; .13 submitted to journal; 5.21 minor revision; 5.26 accept. The editor-in-chief is very dedicated and even works on holidays to send us the comments for revision. Due to the epidemic, the review speed was delayed. It is still not bad, and the effort will be paid off in the end.

Submitted on September 5; September 9 with editor; September 17 under review; October 7 minor revisions required. Three reviews all thought that the article is well written and the workload is sufficient. 1, 3 reviewers had only one question, asking us to add figures and put a figure in the supplementary materials. 2, reviewers asked us to add some content in the material and method, and discussion section. 3 weeks for minor revisions were given. We had something else, which took a while before we started the revision. Revision submitted on October 24. As we added an author, it was requested to submit an author change form. Resubmitted on October 25, and it was accepted on October 29. The deadline for school awards is the 29. It’s a pity that I didn’t catch up, but this is the smoothest article I ever submitted.

12 Apr 2019 submitted to journal; 14 May 2019 Major revision; 10 Jun 2019 Resubmitted to journal; 09 Jul 2019 Minor revision; 13 Jul 2019 Resubmitted to journal; 17 Jul 2019 Accept. The editor was quite responsible; the journal required the conclusion and discussion to be merged. The review speed was ok.

I submitted to AMB on January 18. The reviewers were all recommended by the editor (I did not list any recommended reviewers myself). I received reviews extremely quickly – by January 29 – from all reviewers. Most of the reviews were positive! I revised my paper according to the reviewer’s comments and it was accepted on Feb 6. The review speed is great – far beyond my expectations. Once my paper was accepted, I was told that the proof would take 3-4 weeks. I highly recommend this journal.

Have you paid the layout fee yet? It's too expensive. I submitted my work in September 23 years ago

Can you share the time for each step?

I would like to ask everyone, typically how long does it take from submission to giving feedback?

Hasn't the bar already hinted that we should avoid magazines with such low cost performance?

(0) Thank | 连箭

You must not have seen the announcement on their official website. They have fully transitioned to OA!

People abroad do not care about the classification of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. MDPI can be accepted. Why can't they?

I submitted in July and got accepted in December, they asked me for a layout fee. I confirmed it in my system, but I also messaged the editor for an exemption. Let's see what happens

After logging in, why is there no place to submit new articles? Who knows what's going on?

(0) Thank | 彬

Ah ah ah ah ah! I'm really going to be irritated! How can you still charge such an expensive layout fee after lowering to Zone 3! Over 4,000 dollars, over 30,000 RMB! You lowered it to Zone 3! I'm going to be so irritated! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!

I want to ask, I submitted in July, but it is now January and still not accepted. Do I need to pay for placement?

Is increasing influence by dropping from the second district to the third district? How does that work?

(0) Thank | Gauldoth

AMB seeking to improve its influence is right, but the OA fees are set too high, close to those of a subsidiary journal. I hope AMB becomes better and goes through a painful period of transformation

It is considered a reputable journal in its field, with high standards and stringent peer review process. Not sure why there is a reform, but it has slowed down significantly

Submitted in February, received tonight, do I need to pay the layout fee?

(0) Thank | 半醉哥

This journal is so unprofessional. The editor is amazing. I submitted my manuscript for the first time and it took over a month to receive a response, saying they were on vacation. They told me I was missing something and asked me to resubmit after adding it. After resubmitting, it took over a month at the editor's desk, and now it's been another month at the reviewer's desk. In the meantime, the journal has switched from non-OA to OA, and from category 2 to category 3. I am really frustrated and now debating whether to withdraw my submission

This journal is finished! Downgraded to Tier 3 and now fully OA. Who will still submit with over 4000 dollars?

(0) Thank | 德云小生

It has been downgraded to Q3 and turned into an OA journal again. With over 4000 dollars, Chinese people are unlikely to invest in it anymore! I got one published in February but will not consider this journal in the future!

I also received it on October 26th, it has been two months now, and there is still no proof. They also said that the revision delayed the time
