Submitted in mid-October this year and acceptance email received on January 1. It was sent to two reviewers for review for the first time, one required a minor revision and the other one a major revision without additional experiments needed. It took two weeks to respond to the review comments, then it was sent for review again. We waited for two weeks before it got accepted. The editors had high requirements for language. It took less than 2 months from submission to acceptance, and the speed in this journal is very fast.

There were 2 reviewers, and the review was very strict. It was sent for review again after the submission of the revised version. After acceptance, the status changed to awaiting production checklist. It has been more than one month, but there is no proofed email. I don’t know what happened.

7.5, submitted; 7.27, major revision, submitted after revision; 8.20, awaiting AE make decision. This status lasted 2 months. I couldn’t wait any more and urged; it was accepted on the same day. The quality of the articles in Science China-Materials is not bad, and the positioning of this journal is very high, and it needs to be well written.

The journal is more rigorous, the reviewing efficiency is high, and the reviewers are quite professional. After two revisions, I found out that two reviewers had turned into four reviewers. I was very happy to accept the content of the reviews. I hope that the journals will be better and better, and the IF will reach 5 next year.

The Nano Letter was originally fictitious, but there is actually a bright dog hole at the root of the back wall. The master's reviewer held a blank paper and praised "profound," staring at San Shugong's business card and exclaiming "highly innovative." After two years of not finding a job, the earthy bachelor who turned to publishing muttered as he cast lead type overnight: "Your business card is still more famous."

Are you on medication? This journal is purely for show, specifically designed to provide domestic bosses' students with easy articles

Five years ago, someone asked me if I had read that domestic materials journal, I said SCMs. Now when someone asks me, I still give the same answer. It is irrelevant to the impact factor and the difference in journal categories. The main reason is: they place great importance on original innovation, the quality of the images in the articles is very high, and the layout is very grounded. Especially in terms of the depth of mechanisms, it is very impressive. In fact, this is a journal that fully represents Chinese cultural confidence. We should strive to publish an article in it every year in the future, with an SCMs article in hand, the success rate of applying for project funds will be much higher. Come on, everyone, let's push this magazine to break through 20!

The first sci paper of the doctor, the review speed is quite fast, but online is very slow. The reviewers gave a lot of suggestions for revisions, which greatly improved the quality of the article

Can the SCC journal return to the first division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences next year?

I have encountered the same situation. How was the payment finally settled?

(3) Thank | JadeWu

I am in a situation similar to yours, may I ask if you have polished it well? How much does it cost?

(0) Thank | JadeWu

The reviewer also mentioned that my paper is acceptable but requires revisions. How did you handle it at that time?

(0) Thank | JadeWu

Tried it out, and within 2 days the template draft was rejected. It feels like a waste of time to carefully submit when it seems like it doesn't matter at all

More than 40 days, it's gone by quickly.

You write English at a level of 66, so it's easier for the editor. If your English is not good, then it definitely needs some polishing. Others can't just give you money and effort for free, right?

How can one publish hundreds of papers in a year? There aren't so many policy supports available.
