Has anyone had experience with journals from Inderscience (a subscription-model academic publishers in Switzerland - not the predatory publisher with a similar name). If so,
1. How was the experience working with them?
2. How long was the peer-review time? (they do not put dates on the papers for some reason)
3. Do you think the reviewers and editor did a good job reviewing and handling your paper?
4. (Reviewers or editors of those journals) What is your evaluation of the typical quality of papers you saw submitted and accepted?
They have several journals relevant to my field but I have never seen many papers from those journals in the cited literature that I have read. In my specific area, pretty much all of the very good (i.e. highly cited) papers are in Springer, Emerald, Elsevier, and MDPI journals. I am not sure if this is an indication of Inderscience's reputation or if their focus is just out of my area.
Thanks for any feedback

Dear Albert,
Inderscience (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inderscience_Publishers) is one of several publishers in Switzerland (other well-known is MDPI). From my area of professional interest (mechanical engineering) I found a few journals from scope, which they offer. In a past I published a few papers in:
1. International Journal of Surface Science and Engineering
(https://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijsurfse)
2. International Journal of Machining and Machinability of Materials (https://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijmmm)
3. International Journal of Precision Technology
(https://www.inderscience.com/jhome.php?jcode=ijptech)
For this moment only the first one is indexed in JCR.
Generally I have a positive experience with Inderscience Publishers. Despite the fact that isn't a leading publisher (as Springer, Emerald, Elsevier or MDPI), it has a relatively high standard of publishing. I personally appreciate, first of all, the possibility of checking a current status of submitted manuscript and contact with the editors. The proceeding time is approximately from 6 to 12 months. If you looking for a good alternative to publish your work in a more niche journal (eg. due to the subject) the Inderscience could be a good choice.
Best regards,

I submitted there a paper, and it was thoroughly reviewed, with good suggestions. However, the time between the submission deadline and the publication was two times longer than promised. To be honest, the paper was available in "in-press" section, but it was insufficient for me.
Anyway, I am going to submit there mora papers and recommend it to others.
Best regards,
mr

Inderscience journals are quality journals only thing they take ample time to process the submission.

The process takes time. I submitted a paper there 5 months ago. I am still waiting for the outcome of the review process.
