Testimonials

We have published several works in Polymers within the last 2 years, and each time we have had a great publishing experience because Polymers is highly ranked, has a great reputation, and, most importantly, has a good reviewing process and a fast response during the submission process. Therefore, I'm satisfied that the review process didn't make submissions difficult with over-criticism, but the feedback from the peer review process was good. Another success of Polymers is that its Special Issues on specific topics that are highly relevant. These Special Issues are highly reader-focused and of course increase the citation rates and benefit researchers. I would definitely recommend Polymers to all my colleagues as they publish their future research.

Initially I was skeptical about publishing in an MDPI journal due to their APC, as we come from a small place and a developing country, but after sending our abstract to them, they offered some discount on APC which we were able to arrange. When we submitted our manuscript, they began the process so fast, and as soon we received the reviewer's reports, and they gave us only few days to revise our manuscript and to reply to the reviewer's comments. Our manuscript went through three rounds of revisions every time, the processing was really fast, they responded quickly and cooperated very well. Overall, the whole process was quite satisfactory, they have a very good and cooperative team. Thank you for everything. We will be happy to continue this collaboration in future.

Article in Remote Sensing: Drone-Based Characterization of Seagrass Habitats in the Tropical Waters of Zanzibar

The very first, but the best experience in scientific publishing. The overall process is very professionally organized and performed. Contact is continuously kept throughout the process. The reviewers were very professional and precise, with grounded advice for re-arrangement/improvements; every remark corresponded to the quality of the article, and every remark should be commented on/answered for the respective viewers. Quickly received reviews (within 3 weeks) let you stay on-pulse with your research and article manuscript, so corrections are much easier to carry out. In contrast, when you receive reviews after half a year or even longer, and look at your already old data to make re-arrangements, it feels like starting from the beginning of the analysis again. Very professional proofreading service. Best experiences. Thanks to all of the huge team once again!
