In the first round, there were four reviewers: two reviewers had some specific issues with the methods, following the usual review process; the third reviewer was very strict, requesting additional algorithms and asking many detailed questions, showing professionalism; the fourth reviewer seemed to have a different approach, asking for detailed additions in every section from the abstract to the conclusion, being very demanding.

In the second round, two reviewers focused on specific issues related to expression and description, which were relatively easier to address.

Overall, the submission process went smoothly. Most of the four reviewers were professional, and the author hopes that the editors and reviewers will continue to uphold the reputation of this journal, strictly control the number of articles, and ensure the quality of publications. It is not easy to publish in a 1st-tier journal in the field of mathematics.

Complain directly to the editor about the reviewer in a clear and specific manner, providing evidence to support your claims. If the paper is ultimately rejected, escalate the complaint to the editor-in-chief.

Hello, how did you file a complaint? I also encountered a malicious reviewer who gave contradictory comments on revisions twice, did not provide substantive feedback, just empty words, and said a lot. I have carefully explained my paper, but he said I did not explain it (I feel he didn't even read the paper carefully) or didn't read it at all. I also want to give feedback to the editor, but I don't know how to say it properly

I encountered a very disgusting reviewer, who maliciously reviewed and gave two contradictory questions in the two revisions, and did not carefully read the paper at all. I am thinking whether to write an email to the editor to explain. Will it have any impact?

In 2023, the upgraded version of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal has been classified as a Category 2 journal in the major field and Category 1 in the minor field. This can be considered as progress. However, the real-time impact factor is not high, possibly below 4, and the self-citation rate is high. It is still necessary to stabilize it

Is there any discount for this journal? It's too expensive

If we can score above 5 points, can we return to the top of the first division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences again?

A very fast and powerful magazine, but it only dropped to number three.

This journal has deteriorated. I feel like it has also started to engage in irrelevant discussions. I hope the responsible person will make reforms.

Excuse me, fellow forum members, does this journal charge submission fees? Is the article processing fee paid after acceptance?

I have a fractal paper that I want to submit to this journal. I wanted to ask if this journal has any discount coupons? If so, please add me as a friend and contact me. Thank you.

An exceptionally difficult submission experience...
Submitted in September 2022, the first round of review took over three months, and on December 25, 2022, received major revision comments.
One of the reviewers was extremely meticulous. Following their requirements, almost the entire abstract, introduction, and conclusion had to be rewritten. Three paragraphs discussing the recommended literature by the reviewer were added to the Related Work section, and two figures were included.
The Associate Editor requested the revised version to be returned within 10 days, which is quite unreasonable! As a result, this inexperienced individual had to stay up late every night, working tirelessly.
There are very few journals in the field of fractals, basically just Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, Fractals, and Fractal and Fractional. Hopefully, these journals will continue to thrive and improve!

Although I encountered unfair rejection letters, I was able to regain the opportunity for reevaluation through a rebuttal letter of about 40 pages. I had to swallow my pride and accept it. Although it was eventually accepted, there was no sense of joy. What was most frustrating was that the journal's ranking dropped to Zone 3 (although it is a subcategory of Zone 2). I dare not say it made it to the Chinese Academy of Sciences Zone 1.

Editorial not for review? What's going on? Don't just reject it with a template, give a reason!

This journal editor is particularly responsible. The papers they write are usually not directly sent for review. There are quite a few people who submit their papers based on the manuscript number. It's quite difficult to be among the 50 chosen out of 5-6 thousand! The reviewers they invite are all top experts in the field, and they provide insightful questions that focus on the core points of the paper. Their suggestions are objective and can greatly improve the quality of the paper. After half a month of revisions and submitting, the results of half a year of research are finally published! I have high expectations for this journal and hope that it will continue to maintain its quality. It is a very good journal in the fields of mathematics PDE, physics, mechanics, etc. I hope it will continue to improve!

Next year, it will become the third district.

It is probably a first-tier journal in the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There are very few first-tier journals in the field of mathematics.
