Going for journals that do not charge page fees, and with the quality of the journal being excellent. A German journal, with four reviewers providing dozens of very professional comments, showing the rigor of the journal. Additionally, the proofreading may have been done by a Chinese person, as the editor personally conducted language polishing and asked for me to provide corrections, which allowed me to learn a lot. The only drawback is that the impact factor has been at its lowest in recent years (2.8 in 2018), possibly due to not being open access, leading to a low citation rate. However, once the journal becomes open access, the impact factor will surely rise rapidly

AME is a more established magazine, although in recent years, it has been affected by OA, resulting in a decrease in impact factor. However, the professionalism and seriousness of the reviewers have not diminished at all. The first review took two months, with two minor revisions and one major revision. The responsible editor agreed with the major revision suggestions and provided many other suggestions, including formatting citations and creating charts. About a month after the revision meeting, the feedback was returned, requesting minor revisions. A few days later, it was returned again, and one week later, it was accepted. It has now been published. The process from submission to publication took approximately 7 months. I am speechless about the classification in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as even the upgraded version has been downgraded to the fourth tier. Well, whatever you say, that's how it is. Anyway, you wouldn't understand.

This journal is relatively unpopular, although I don’t understand why. You can submit your manuscripts through their online system or via email directly to the editor.
