It is relatively friendly to cross-disciplinary articles. After going through SA and PNAS, it finally got a good result. The impact factor has been 9–10 in the first two years since its foundation, and I am not worried. As long as the national policy supports it, domestic journals will definitely get better and better.

The review opinions were given about one month later after submission. The first review comment was very good and the paper can be published directly. The second review comments were with a lot of questions and requiring a major revision. And the revision went back and forth with the second reviewer 3 times. Then, the third reviewer was invited for the review and the review went back and forth 2 times again. It took nearly 5 months for the whole procedure. I felt it a bit tired, but theoretical depth of the article was improved. Thank you. Hope for a high impact factor.

To comment first! All the previous submissions to Afm Angew were rejected. Later my supervisor received an invitation email from the journal and chose to submit my article. After three months, only review 3 was showed with comments in the email, and the first two reviewers were missing... It should be a minor revision, and the typesetting editor sent an email to ask for my editable raw data. I gave all the origin files... I’m a little unwilling to tell the truth. Maybe they require a high degree of uniformity for figure style. Hope the impact factor will get higher.

Is there hope for the research to return to top journals this year?

Yes, having a submission number means it has been submitted for review.

May I ask how long it takes to assign a manuscript number? I have been waiting for ten days and still have not received a manuscript number.

Hello, may I ask if having a manuscript number means it has passed the pre-review? Is the next step waiting for external review?

The submission was made on July 27th, and the manuscript number was assigned on August 10th. However, there has been no news so far. I heard before that research papers usually receive initial reviews within a month, but it has been almost three months now. I would like to ask everyone if this review period is normal.

Submitted on 8.25. Under review since 9.5, still awaiting a decision, a long wait.
