Submission: 2020.03.29; First review and revision: 2020.06.20; Revision: 2020.07.20; Acceptance: 2020.08.04; Online publication: 2020.09.02. The manuscript was submitted at the end of March 2020 and accepted in August 2020. The editor processing speed is very fast, but the submission cycle is relatively long, which may be mainly affected by the epidemic. In the review comments, a reviewer mainly gave suggestions on details such as language expression, experimental parameter selection, and interpretation. Another reviewer mainly gave opinions on the innovation and research significance of the paper. Due to the high requirements of the journal, it took a long time to carefully revise according to the comments of the reviewers. After the revised submission, the editor dealt with it quickly, and the reviewer agreed to accept it. In general, the editors and reviewers are very responsible and give quite pertinent opinions. In addition, the language expression of the paper and the quality of the pictures should be taken seriously.

The review speed was very fast, without wasting my time. Especially for graduate students preparing for the doctoral entrance examination, this is very critical. The quality of this journal was obviously much better than that in previous years. Coupled with being a leading journal, it is estimated that the requirements will be higher and higher. The review was very strict, and several students’ manuscripts were rejected. My manuscript went through two major revisions. The reviewers were very professional, and you knew they were experts at the first glance. Although making revisions was painful, I still learned a lot. My first paper was published in CJA, which can be regarded as a fate with CJA. Finally, I wish CJA better and better.

Received: 4 March 2019; Revised: 5 August 2019; Accepted: 16 July 2019. I’m a direct doctor in a 985 university in the capital of China. Three stages of “revision-revision-employment" was included for this paper. There was a total of three reviewers. The first review took about one and a half months, and the review comments given by the three reviewers were all professional and sharp, which greatly helped improve the quality of the manuscript. Then, it took nearly 20 days for us to make major revisions and submit it again. Almost a month and a half later, the second comment was received. One reviewer had no comments, and the other one asked one question, requiring me to explain. The third one was satisfied with the response to the previous comment, and then asked another one, which was very clever and meaningful. Next, I spent about five days revising it, adding a new section of content, and submitted it again. In less than two weeks, I was notified that it was accepted, so I modified it as required and submitted the final version.

I am a doctoral student and I have contributed two articles in the teaching and research section of this journal. CJA strictly controls the quality of the journal, and the review process is very strict. It gives me the feeling that there are many reviewers involved, which is also very strict.

Question!!! This journal requires submissions to be made using a LaTeX template. If accepted, will it need to be converted to a Word version? Or is it necessary to submit a Word version in the end?

Trash journals, editors lacking intelligence.

Is it common for the first review to be returned with editor's comments after two months?

(0) Thank | SamS

Congratulations, my submission is still with the editor. Now it has been a month, I can only wait and see.

How many revisions have you gone through? I've been with the editor for a long time now.

Submitted in early June, the manuscript was quickly reviewed and the review fee was paid. 

By the end of August, I contacted the customer service of Elsevier and learned that one reviewer had already provided feedback, while another reviewer had accepted the invitation but had not yet provided feedback. 

In early September, the manuscript was rejected, with feedback from one reviewer being somewhat positive and helpful. It seems that after three months, the decision was made based on the feedback from only one reviewer. 

After revising the manuscript based on this feedback, it was submitted to another top-tier journal and was accepted for publication. 

Initially, the goal was to submit the manuscript quickly for review and then submit it to another journal in a different tier. However, despite the lengthy review process, the positive feedback encouraged me to submit to journals of the same caliber or even better. Special thanks to this reviewer.
