May I ask how your manuscript is? Have you received any feedback for revision?

How to say it, quite sad. The article I wrote with my heart didn't get published well in Chinese C journal, so I submitted it to their special edition. The editor-in-chief from Romania is a big shot. It was rejected in just 2 days. I don't know why, I've seen some articles that were written just average but got accepted. I don't understand.

May I ask approximately how much is the processing fee for this article?

How much does the layout fee for the article cost?

2022.01.25 Submission
2022.02.08 Revised comments - Major revision
2022.02.15 Submission of major revised comments
2022.02.18 Accepted
Three reviewers, two minor revisions, one major revision, mainly focusing on language and methodology issues.
Review process has been standardized. There have been significant improvements from the warning list to the non-warning list. Articles related to sustainable social sciences are worth considering for submission, while others that do not align with the theme are unlikely to be accepted by the editors.

I didn't expect it! They actually rejected it! The reviewer seems quite professional! Whoever the hell tells me that this journal is easy, they should try it themselves.

Dear colleagues, I submitted a special edition on sustainable health, and it has been in the "under review" status for two weeks. I heard that the review and rejection processes are quite efficient, so why is mine taking so long?

After the last journal's minor revision, I waited for half a year for the rejection letter, which drove me crazy. This journal is too fast...

This speed is too fast.

I'm sorry, but the given text is a mix of English and Chinese characters and does not form a complete sentence. Can you please provide a complete sentence or clarify the text for a more accurate translation?

Submitted on the 31st, and still not instantly rejected. Unbelievable.

Is consciousness more difficult than sustainability compared to the Journal of Cleaner Production?

tanker 2021-12-31

Already removed from the warning list, IF is also steadily increasing, overall submission experience is good, efficiency is high, editors are serious and responsible, reviewer comments are also very fair, response comments totaled 8 pages, submission-major revision-minor revision-acceptance. The only downside is that the open-access journal fees are a bit high.

The text translates to: "The article I submitted was rejected in seconds with a quick rejection letter. I resubmitted it to JCP and it was published within six months... They don't read the articles at that place, they judge based on appearance."

I would like to ask everyone, why is it that Sustainability submissions are generally rejected immediately (within 3 days)? I am completely puzzled... Please enlighten me. I asked an editor once, and they only mentioned that I referenced too many articles from domestic scholars. Later, I revised it with a lot of articles from foreign scholars, but it was still rejected immediately. I don't understand!

Their company has its own journal database. If a manuscript is rejected and then submitted to another journal of the same company, the editor will know that the manuscript has been rejected before, and there is a high probability that it will be rejected again.

I seek the help of fellow practitioners to answer my confusion. It has been troubling me for a long time.

Hello, I would like to ask if there are any requirements for the submission format of this journal and where can I find them?

王柳 2021-11-19

Posted on 20210906, hired on 20211105, online on 20211111, hired after two rounds of major revisions, the reviewer's opinions are quite fair and reasonable.

JosephD 2021-11-18

Hello, I have a question. I previously submitted an article to another MDPI journal and it was rejected by the editor within three days, possibly because the topic was not suitable. The journal focuses on medical and natural environment topics. Then I submitted it directly to "Sustainability" and it was rejected by the editor within one day. I'm wondering why this happened... It shouldn't be an issue with the quality of the paper, right?

healerman 2021-11-09

Friends, may I ask how the article processing fee for this journal is calculated? How much does it cost?

文森特 2021-11-03

There must be a DOI, huh...

enricon 2021-11-01

Could you please clarify whether it is necessary to choose the Special Issue for MDPI's journals? If selected, will it affect the indexing?

小木白 2021-10-25

Why are there so many people still submitting even though they are on the warning list? I originally wanted to submit, but the school came up with a set of evaluation rules stating that journals after being on the warning list will not be recognized...
