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.

Submitted on October 1st, reviewed on October 2nd. The review process was quite fast.

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?

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?

35 days

Friend, did they reject it because it didn't follow the template?

I'm back again, rejected, template, I am really...I'll try his Biology special issue

Initially aimed for a quick submission, I submitted to the Diversity journal, but it was not within the scope. Subsequently, I made some changes and submitted to the agriculture journal, but the template rejected it... The content is definitely enough, I read two of his published papers and they are all watered down, both got published, but mine got rejected???? I am now trying his Plant journal, let's see how it goes

The processing speed is really fast, maybe because of the topic submitted. Hope the journal continues to develop steadily

Last year's manuscript, add a comment.
This is the second Agronomy article done with students, not very innovative but the amount of work is pretty good. I feel confident that it will be accepted in the traditional third-tier journal. We first submitted to a second-tier journal and were rejected, the students were a bit anxious, so I happened to have a discount and submitted to Agronomy. The overall experience was better than last time, the speed was amazing, and while the opinions of the three reviewers were many, they were not too difficult.
In all honesty, I see a bright future for Agronomy. In the past six months, I have reviewed a lot of manuscripts for Agronomy, some of them are of high quality and close to industry-leading journals (by American scholars); but there are also some low-quality ones (by local researchers from small European countries), I know I couldn't reject them so I gave them a lot of feedback

Have you used the template? Was it rejected the same day? In what field?

After submission, why would the editor reject the manuscript directly without sending it for peer review (template rejection)?
