The first version was submitted on February 17th. On March 17th, it was exactly one month when the revision comments were returned. The editor required a major revision, ddl on May 1st. There were four reviewers, one with negative opinions (we were surprised with the result of “Should not be published”), and the remaining three, two agreed “Publish either as is or subject to minor revisions”, one required a minor revision. The reviewers were very responsible. There was a total of 20 review comments, all of which are sharp but also very constructive. On April 29th, I met the deadline to return the revised manuscript and the result was unknown. Wish me luck!

1 day after submission: Assigned to editor Eric Bakker; 2 days after submission: Professor Bakker sent an email with some basic comments; 10 days after receiving revision comments: Revised and returned the manuscript; 20 days after resubmission: review comments received. There were 2 reviewers. One directly agreed to publish it. It took 14 days to revise; 11 days after resubmission: Second review comments received. A reviewer asked some questions. It took us 23 days to modify; 7 days after the revised submission: Notification of acceptance and online publication was received. It can be seen that my amendments were also a bit procrastinated and some time was wasted. It took 84 days from submission to publication. The editor was very friendly. Thank you very much. Although the reviewers were too serious, it was very good for them to ask questions with the spirit of pursuing the truth. I would like to thank them all. It’s the first time to share a submission experience, hoping to help someone.

It was submitted in mid-April, and it was required major revision in early June (One reviewer had a very positive opinion, and the other had a very negative review. After the editor rejected the manuscript, I was given the opportunity to revise and resubmit in two months). Both reviewers made very good suggestions for revision. In early July, the experiment was completed and submitted for submission, and the comment of “accept with minor revision” was received in late August. One reviewer’s comments were basically about spelling errors and references that author names needed complete. (I did not know why they were missing and I was ashamed.) I was given a month to modify. The manuscript was accepted in early September. It took more than two years from submission to acceptance and the manuscript has been rejected many times, but the reviewers have given good suggestions for revision. I couldn’t have the heart to read the article at the beginning. The quality of the article has been improved a lot after the revision. I tried to submit the article to AC but it was rejected, and then transferred it to ACS Sensors. I sent a letter of inquiry to the editor 45 days after the submission. I was replied that night that the editor was urging the reviewer according to the process and I received the comment requiring a major revision in the second night. In short, the editor is very responsible and efficient, and the reviewers are very careful. I can graduate with this article.

I submitted my paper and received  a very detailed, careful review. I feel that ACS Sensors should be a high-level journal.

I would like to inquire about the quality level of this journal. I am not very familiar with it before, but ACS suggested me to submit to this one. I work in the field of materials, is this considered a chemistry journal for AFM?

I would like to ask, are there any deputy editors who are friends of Prof. Hee-Tae Jung? How many days does it usually take for review? Mine has been in the hands of the editor for 10 days already, and it hasn't been reviewed yet...

The review process is so slow recently. I replied to the comments for the third time on February 9, 2025, and it is still under consideration. The second review also took about a month. It's just this article that is slow, it used to be fast before.

It's strange. After the first review, the reviewer requested a reduction in similarity (the returned similarity report showed 35%, but did not exclude references). Previously, the original manuscript submitted to the AC for review was rejected without mentioning the similarity rate. However, there has been no response since the similarity was reduced.
