Journal review is very slow. It has been almost two months since the minor revision was submitted for review. The decision is still in process for a long time, and it is unknown when it will be published online. It is said that it may take up to six months.

The quality is still better than Frontiers... My paper that got rejected by four districts was accepted by FIPs

Failed twice in the initial review and was rejected, stating that it had no scientific significance. Both times used the same excuse, the academic community knows the level of the articles, it doesn't matter, without status, you are not respected

Hasn't this journal always been in the top tier? It was kicked out of the Top Journals this year

I've never seen non-top magazines in Zone 1 before

Hello, may I ask how many reviewers you have?

Is your article online? How long does it usually take for the article to be online after being edited by the school?

Is your article online now? How long does it usually take for it to go online after proofreading?

The magazine takes too long to review and process manuscripts, and the editing time is too long

Rejected for not being in line with the direction. I was somewhat prepared for the rejection before I submitted it, so it's not surprising, and the speed of rejection was relatively fast

With an editor, it usually takes about half a month, but I'm not sure how long it will generally take.

What is the meaning of such a small volume journal, managed by Chinese people? You shouldn't have touched this nail. The chief editor's intention is that you are not one of us, even if you submit a hundred times, it will not be accepted.

I have submitted twice, and the reason for the first rejection was, "Thank you for your trust in our magazine! Currently, HPJ's acceptance criteria for manuscripts is no lower than IF5.0. Unfortunately, your manuscript did not pass the initial review. Please feel free to submit suitable manuscripts in the future!" They replied in Chinese, but I still don't understand what they mean. I emailed them for clarification, but they didn't respond. After the second submission (a different article), there was no reason given for the rejection, and they didn't respond to my email. I am truly frustrated.

How do you all view this journal? Will the latest partition be assigned to Zone 1? I see that the self-citation rate of this journal is quite high, and the proportion of Chinese authors is very high. I want to submit, but I'm afraid... afraid that it will later become the Journal of Plant Ecology... and the partition will decrease instead of increasing...

It has been two weeks since the status with the editor, and there is no outcome.

After half a month of submission, the status changed from "Under review" to "Required Reviews Completed". The reviewing speed is really fast, I hope it will have a good outcome.
Ultimately, it was rejected. The quality of articles in this journal is inconsistent. Due to the low overall submission volume and its position in the first tier of Chinese Academy of Sciences journals, the impact factor will still increase.

Just got a paper accepted. It was published by the Vegetable and Flower Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and it happens to be in the first district this year. However, I feel that the quality of the article is not as good as FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE or BMC Plant. Overall, the level of recognition is still not enough.

Really awesome, the magazine was established just a few years ago, and this year it directly upgraded from Tier 3 to Tier 1. Unfortunately, its Impact Factor (IF) is only 4.2, making it the lowest-ranked Tier 1 journal in the field of plant science.
It can only be said that it is well-deserved as an SCI publication produced in our country. The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) really gives face to domestic journals. Now it is just starting to be open access, and it charges 10,000 RMB per article, which is still acceptable. 
In the future, everyone will understand.

The article has been accepted, with a duration of 7 months. It took longer because there were two major revisions. Generally, it takes around 4-5 months from submission to acceptance. Wishing HPJ further success.

I have also encountered the same problem. May I ask if your status has been updated now?
