The review process is quite slow. I waited for 3 months for the first review, it seemed like they couldn't find reviewers. They invited three times and finally got two reviewers to agree. It took a month for major revisions, waited another month for the second review, then made minor revisions in a week. After that, it took another month to be accepted. The review process was very slow. However, I don't understand why this journal only has 33 articles searchable on PubMed (as of July 2023). Many articles cannot be found. My article has already been published online, but it still cannot be found on PubMed. It feels like not being searchable on PubMed has a significant impact. I won't dare to submit to this journal again in the future.

Magazines with low submission volumes generally have high entry barriers. I have also submitted to domestic SCI journals with low submission volumes before, but the result was rejection after the second review. It feels like there is still a significant risk and high time cost in submitting to such magazines.

Second review has been rejected, quite time-consuming.
2023.02.21 submitted
2023.03.15 under review
2023.04.17 major revision
2023.05.13 revision submitted
2023.05.25 under review
2023.05.29 reject
During the first review, there were two reviewers. One provided a very positive and friendly response, while the other was more negative. The editor requested a major revision based on the negative reviewer's comments. However, the negative reviewer raised several irrelevant questions. Unfortunately, I had to accept the reviewer's comments as they were. The response I provided to the negative reviewer was not satisfactory, resulting in the rejection of the second review. It wasted a lot of time, and immediately after the rejection, I switched to another journal for submission.

It is estimated that the editor has a habit of rejecting manuscripts. After the first revision, both reviewers agreed to accept it, but the editor still rejected it. Later, I argued with the editorial department and the editor, not because the journal or the article was good, but because I felt that it was not worth the delay in time. The editor and the editorial department decided to withdraw the decision, make a new decision, and accept it again. The actual submission cycle is three months, but it was delayed for over a week due to the argument.

Submitted on July 2nd, accepted on September 3rd, underwent one round of review, accepted directly after revision. Additionally, another article is currently under review, submitted at the end of August and sent for review at the end of September.

Excuse me, has your Manuscript number changed? I submitted on September 21st, and the status changed from "new submission" to "editor assigned" on September 22nd afternoon, and it became "under review". Moreover, the manuscript number is different from the original one. I'm not sure if it is truly under review or with the editor.

The submission cycle is also long, requiring over six months until October.

The article was directly rejected by the editor-in-chief due to its lack of innovation. It was rejected the day after submission without being sent for review. Although it was rejected, the journal's handling speed was fast, allowing for submission to other journals without delay. Judging from the article number and the number of articles published by the journal each year, the acceptance rate is approximately 10%, indicating a relatively high rejection rate. Personally, I think a publication rate between 20-30% would be more reasonable.

Can this kind of garbage journal also be considered as a top-tier journal??? Trash like this should be kicked out of SCI.

Garbage! The impact factor is now also being driven high by that group of people!
