The academic editor of PED gave the decision to accept the minor revisions after more than thirty days of review, and then returned on the same day. Two days later, the paper was accepted, and everything proceeded quickly. It was published online on December 23rd, and surprisingly indexed on December 31st!

Review and revision were very quick, with three reviewers in the first round - two positive and one negative, requiring major revisions. In the second round, only the negative feedback was returned. Despite dissatisfaction with the response, a thorough reply quickly garnered positive feedback. The manuscript is now pending editor decision for 25 days, despite two reminders indicating that the editorial team is still reviewing. Is this delay intentional or is there another reason? It seems unlikely that the manuscript is still under review.

What is the difference between a Special Issue and a regular issue? Is there any special indication for a Special Issue when the Science and Technology Information Center issues a citation report?

I'll reply to you. If your manuscript was rejected by a journal under MDPI, usually due to lack of novelty, it is unlikely to be sent to other journals for review because they are all in the same submission system. It would be embarrassing to send it to another journal. Secondly, the editorial capabilities vary, and if your article doesn't match their standards, it may be rejected directly. There is always a certain rejection rate, and your article might just be one of them. Thirdly, perhaps you have set high expectations for your own article. Objectively speaking, these are the three reasons for your rejection.

I would like to ask why all the journals I submitted to MDPI were rejected by the template within 3 days. I later submitted to IEEE and got accepted, but MDPI, whether it's Electronics, Applied Sciences, or even Sensors, all were rejected by the journal editors. Can anyone provide some guidance? I believe the content of my articles (repetitiveness, innovation, etc.) meets the requirements of the journals, but I keep getting rejected. I have submitted many times using the templates provided by the journals, and the corresponding author's email address is also from the institution. Why is this happening?

Can any expert provide some guidance? I believe that the content of the article (repetition rate, originality, etc.) meets the requirements of the journal, but it has been rejected repeatedly. I have used the template provided by the journal for many submissions, and the corresponding author's email address is also the institutional email address. Why is this happening?

It has been a month and it is still in the "under review" status.

It has been a month for me too, and still no news.

Does the special issue take up the space of the regular issue?

(0) 讚！ | 铁牛铁蛋

I have the same feeling. I don't know why it has been such a long time, I submitted my manuscript a month and a half ago, and I still haven't heard anything.

I am soliciting contributions for the agronomy journal, with the focus on the effects of fertilization on greenhouse gas emissions and soil carbon turnover in agricultural fields. Contributions are welcome. The review process for the special issue is the same as that for the regular issues, and publication and SCI indexing are also the same, with the only difference being that it is relatively easier to submit for the special issue.

This journal focuses on agronomy, so topics such as artificial intelligence and computer science are not suitable for publication in this journal. Most of the accepted submissions are related to field research.

1) Submission Received; the next day (Article Processing Charge Confirmation);
(2) one month (Minor Revisions); one week later (Accepted for Publication); the next day (Final Proofreading Before Publication); the same day (Paper has been published).
The overall speed was very fast, the reviewer's comments were pertinent, the questions raised were very targeted, and they greatly helped to improve the article

The pending view was rejected within three days. The content of the article had been reviewed multiple times by the supervisor and had a large workload, and the innovation was also good. However, the template was rejected after three days, I don't know what's going on with MDPI lately, they also rejected my submission to Remote Sensing a few days ago

Others are pretty quick, but it took me two and a half months to figure it out

Why am I always inexplicably rejected? Other articles that are hastily written can be accepted, so why not mine?

How long does it usually take for pending review? And how likely is it to be rejected if it takes longer than a certain amount of time?

(0) 讚！ | 论文小白想录用

35 days
