I have to say it was quite fast, with a review time of over ten days. Two reviewers provided over twenty comments, possibly because the direction of the paper was a bit off. The feedback was relatively easy to address, and the paper was published in a total of 25 days

Can discounts be used in conjunction?

The layout fee for Photonics increased to 2400 Swiss francs in June this year (previously 1600 Swiss francs). Hopefully, it will yield good results

The editor rejected it, so I was asked to resubmit. Is there a high chance of acceptance for resubmission?

Excuse me, is it still safe to submit articles to MDPI journals now?

To be honest, this journal is easy to handle as long as you have hands. I've already hit 8 articles. Simple.

After applying the discount, the layout fee is 1260 CHF, which is equivalent to 9890.87 RMB. With a wire transfer, there is an additional 200 RMB transaction fee, making a total of 10090.87 RMB.

May I ask if there is a charge for layout? Can I choose non-OA?

Excuse me, is this good in terms of mediocrity? Does it require a high level of innovation?

Have you figured out the difference? Does the special issue belong to SCI?

Why was my submission transferred to the Special Issue after delivery? What is the difference between a Special Issue and a regular issue?

A very good journal, and the impact factor is also rising.

Approximately 15 days after submission, receive feedback with around ten suggestions for revisions, which are detailed and thorough. Make the revisions within five days and receive acceptance.

The first SCI journal has a relatively fast processing speed. The first review takes 15 days, 10 days for revision, the second review takes one week, and it accepts minor revisions.

The process seems to be that the scammer somehow obtained information about the article to be published and the related peer review comments, and used a similar email to deceive the authors into paying additional fees. In reality, MDPI did not charge an extra 700 CHF.

Now, the cost for publishing is 1600 CHF (page fee) + 700 CHF (other expenses). Please consider carefully before submitting.

Too fast, the first review takes 15 days, and the revised version is returned within ten days. The second review takes 10 days. Acceptance requires minor revisions and the addition of a few references. The revised version is accepted on the second day.
