Hello everyone! I would like to ask how long it takes to sign the copyright transfer agreement after a paper is accepted? Does the journal have a separate link for the copyright transfer agreement?

I would like to inquire about my submission to the JOURNAL OF POLYMERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT on April 17, 2024. Within less than a month, the editor provided feedback from three reviewers. I made revisions based on their suggestions and resubmitted. Two reviewers agreed to accept the revised manuscript, but the third reviewer requested further revisions. After completing the revisions and resubmitting, the submission system indicated that the editor had invited a new reviewer. By August 15, the editor had received feedback from this new reviewer. However, I have not received any communication from the editor as of September 21, 2024. I would like to inquire if a paper in this situation would be rejected.

Excuse me, have any of the senior researchers who have submitted articles to this journal know if all articles are open access? How much is the publication fee? I feel like I may have accidentally submitted my article as open access, and I can't afford the cost. ?

How long after acceptance did you receive the proof? My article was accepted on 4/24, but I haven't received the proof yet. With other journals, I usually receive the proof within a week of acceptance

There is no need to recommend reviewers, this is the simplest submission process

I am preparing to submit a manuscript for publication. Just wondering, is there a requirement to suggest potential reviewers in the journal submission system?

I vomited, the journal itself is still fast, the first review gave opinions in eight days. I really wanted to punch the reviewer to death. I have revised three times. I thank the editor and the reviewer. Of course, I also thank the other reviewer. Thank you for challenging me

I am one of the three reviewers, one of them gave a pass, the other two gave minor revisions, which is acceptable, and the editor did not cause much trouble

Hello, may I ask how many reviewers' opinions you have received during the initial review stage before making a decision on edits?

2022.11.16 Submission received
2022.11.17 Initial technical check
2022.11.25 Peer review
2023.01.03 Major revision
2023.01.14 With editor
2023.01.16 Peer review
2023.03.10 Accept

Actually, the process started quite quickly, including the first review which was acceptable. There were three reviewers, and they took a little over two months to provide their feedback, stating that a major revision was needed. One of the reviewers gave their approval, while the other two combined had only 14 suggestions. I thought that after less than a week of revisions, we would have a result. However, the editor struggled with one of the reviewer's comments and sent it back to them. The reviewer took a week to respond, but the editor was on vacation. I had to wait until March 1st, with the status showing "1 Reviewer report received," and couldn't resist urging the editor. They replied that they were on vacation until March 1st and would accept the manuscript on the 10th, once back to normal work.

Overall, this journal seems to be relatively niche, with not too many submissions. There are no specific requirements for the formatting of the layout, but Springer's new submission system is really unreasonable. If we disregard the unexpected vacation of the editor, the speed is actually quite good, and the impact factor is increasing rapidly. I hope the journal continues to improve!

Is the journal demanding? What type of article did the original poster write? Which type of article is more likely to be accepted?

I sent two articles to this journal. The first review period took more than one year before my paper was accepted. For my second article, it was less than three months from submission to revision.
