Testimonials

“I have published in different scientific Journals, but the main difference with the publication in Environments is the communication with the editorial staff for any question at every step of the process; it was fantastic. The Editorial assistants and the whole team were very prompt in responding to each of the concerns raised during the process of editing and final publishing. So, I would like to thank the editorial staff for their hard work; their efforts were highly appreciated. I was grateful to have my paper published in Environments.”

“This was my first submission to MDPI Environments. I was impressed by the helpful efficiency, transparency and the speed of the review process: four weeks from submission through reviews and revision to publication. This was my first experience with text overlap analysis, which clarified where my review needed to keep precise wording from earlier work, and where revision would improve clarity. As a native English speaker, educated long ago at the Universities of Cambridge and London, I was amused that Chinese science editors are now setting the global standards for ‘scientific English’. Sometimes pedantic but still helpful, since where edits changed my meaning, usually it was my text that was unclear.”

Although this feature is well documented on its website, we believe it should be enhanced.”

“The Journal Environments, published by MDPI and affiliated with The Society for Urban Ecology, is a wonderful and welcome addition to the serious online efforts for authors wishing to widely disseminate their results. The professional attention to details from the Editorial Office and the respectful handling of the author's manuscripts is a refreshing approach compared to other efforts, more classical in nature and with a longer tradition in publishing scientific papers. The time needed by the journal to handle manuscript review and revision is optimal: they quickly move the process but do not rush, so they get it done properly. Revision and interaction with the Editorial Office has been one of the best experiences I have had with my co-authors in recent times and their willingness to assist us to make sure the article was accurate and well-formatted were outstanding. I would highly encourage anyone interested in having a wide range of exposure for their work to submit to Environments.”
