The job offer was made at the end of May and accepted by the end of October. The journal requires a layout fee of $1800. How can we confirm that the layout fee has been received?

I estimate that the reviewer did not carefully read the article, as many of the questions raised in the review were already addressed in the article. Unfortunately, in order to resubmit the manuscript, I have to repeat the same points again according to the reviewer's comments. The reviewer is really unreasonable.

This journal is too torturous. The initial review took more than seven months, and I had to follow up three times in between. Later, they informed me that the decision was out only after I submitted a rejection application. The result was six superficial comments, which were not even as good as those made by undergraduate students. The reviewers and editors are simply lazy, wasting time and causing me to miss the application deadline.

I want to ask how to apply for an exemption. Does Aisville require a page fee?

Brother, I am in the same situation. How can we fight for exemption?

Unfortunately, I can only accept publication. This paper has been back and forth for 2 years, and I don't want to submit it to another journal. I don't know if I can request an exemption.

There is a chance to apply for exemption, but it is estimated that it also needs to be published within 24 years.

Is it intentional to delay the revision until 2025 after minor repairs following major repairs?

After investigation for more than a year, I have decided to spend this money. I am so angry.

Journals do not require high levels of innovation, but rather value logical integrity and clear thinking. They are very friendly to beginners. Currently, both articles are experimental papers. Reviewers may raise questions about some details, which should be answered point by point.

I received an email stating that a 100% waiver will be provided for the associated Article Processing Charge.

It is said that in 2025, there will be a waiver of publication fees in Esweil. Have you received any similar emails? Have any of your colleagues received similar emails?

I submitted the manuscript 23 years ago, and now everything is ready. They told me they need OA. I emailed them saying I didn't receive any notice about OA when I submitted. Shouldn't they review and publish my work through the traditional method of subscription? They said it's not possible. How did you handle this situation, my friend?

Is OA free? Have you received the email? Shouldn't it be 1800 dollars?

(0) 讚！ | B.Z.G

After the second review, it was said that OA will be changed. Have you recently received a new email saying that OA article processing charges will be waived in 2025 for publications in Aisville?

Let me share my experience of submitting to this journal.

First submitted to KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering on 03 Aug, 2023
Editor assigned on 07 Aug, 2023
Reviewers invited invitations sent on 23 Aug, 2023
Reviewers agreed on 01 Apr, 2024
Required review completed on 02 June, 2024
Major revision on 08 August, 2024

During the six months from submission to review, it went back and forth with the editor and was under review. 

After the review was completed and it was decided to have a major revision, it took nearly 2 months, but the feedback from the three editors was acceptable.

What's even more frustrating is that after over a year of review, it has now become open access.

I submitted in 2023, and after the second review, I was forced to pay a $1800 fee for Open Access. It's really frustrating, what a rip-off.

No matter what system it is, it is all OA now.

(0) 讚！ | Doctor岩土

Fully OA, if it can't be published within 24 years, it becomes OA.

I received a mandatory OA email when I returned to the dormitory, but I am unable to pay.
