Review speed: 12.0 | Submission hit rate: 50.0 Emphasis research direction: bioinformatics; Basic validation experience sharing: This journal is particularly garbage, advising everyone not to submit. I submitted the initial draft in February, received feedback in April, two reviewers were okay, and after answering their comments in early May, it was about to be accepted. However, the journal suddenly said there were problems with the peer review process after acceptance, and the assigned editor was a foreigner I didn't know. Then suddenly re-invited the assigned editor. This process lasted for several months, from May to October, and then re-invited reviewers. The last reviewer was very unfriendly, and although the three questions he raised were not difficult to answer, explain, or modify, he directly rejected the paper without giving a chance for revision, wasting nearly a year. The editor also rejected the paper without even looking at the content. The efficiency of the handling editor was extremely low. The reviewer's comments were replied a month ago, but it took them another month to process. Truly a garbage journal and publishing company. Disappointed with Hindawi, it's only a 3-point level journal. A reviewer made me feel like I submitted to a 10-point journal, most likely a Chinese reviewer

Do not submit to this magazine, they handle things very slowly, low efficiency of the editors, and no one is willing to review manuscripts. At the same time, Hindawi Publishing Corporation is now on edge, an article that was supposed to be accepted was abruptly rejected. It was only after a mysterious acceptance that problems were found in the peer review process, with the assigned editor being a foreigner and the reviewers unable to see the name. Despite this, they all agreed to accept it, but then another issue arose requiring finding a new editor and resubmission, wasting a lot of time

Review speed: 1.0 | Submission hit rate: 75.0 Experience sharing: This journal has a relatively low impact factor, it is in the fourth district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and there are not many discussions. Let me give you a timeline: 3.26 submitted; 3.29 Under Review; 4.14 Revision requested; 4.16 Status immediately changed to Under Review after the first revision; 4.22 Reviewers invited; 5.10 Revision requested; 5.18 Status immediately changed to Under Review after the second revision; 7.31 Revision requested; 8.3 Third revision; 8.4 pending approval; 8.5 accepted. I have a question, I don't know if anyone else has encountered it, each of my three revisions only had one reviewer's opinion, I don't know if it's hard to find reviewers. But finally it's over ?

Review Speed: 24.0 | Submission Success Rate: 5.0 Experience Sharing: I submitted a paper in September last year, and it is now in the third round of reviews. The reviewers are still being invited. In the second round, one reviewer agreed to publish and another gave positive feedback with minor revisions.
