The first round of review ended in 20 days. There were 5 reviewers, three reviewers’ comments were positive, one raised many questions, and the other one said it cannot be reviewed with informal references cited. The editor gave minor revision. The second round of review ended in a month, three of the reviewers agreed to accept it. The one who said it cannot be reviewed started reviewing it after the references were revised, and he simply raised several questions. The last one raised many questions again, some of which were difficult to answer and unprofessional. He also read the replies I gave to the other reviewers, said that the response was not good, and asked me to reply again. The key was that the other reviewers had already thought that there was no problem. Finally, the editor gave major revision. Half a month after replying, I urged it and simply talked about the situation. The editor accepted it soon. I thought that the bumpy road was over. However, it wasn’t online until two months later. During the period, I sent a dozen emails to the publishing department to solve the publishing problem. It took half a year. It is a very bumpy road to submission!

Sent for review a few days after submission on March 19, review comments returned in mid-April, due to additional data required, and I had something else to do, it was delayed for some days. I submitted the revised manuscript till early May. I received the email notifying Sent to production on May 30. I was so happy that I chose this journal when I was anxious to submit it quickly. 2 months and 11 days, and all had done. It will be faster if you don’t delay. The efficiency of this journal is still good, but the carbon material may still be a bit niche, with more than 200 articles per year, and the impact factor is relatively stable. . . A little pity. But look forward, after all, it is my first baby article, ha ha.

Generally speaking, it is quite fast. It took two months to review the manuscript mainly because it was difficult to find reviewers in this direction. After reviewing the manuscript, they told me to make a major revision, and gave me two months to supplement some experiments. The reply on the revised manuscript was received within a week after resubmission, saying that a minor revision was required. Then it was accepted within four days after revision. The speed of online publication is also very fast, basically completed within a week. In addition, the impact factor of this journal has increased from 2.2 to 2.4 during my submission. I think the impact factor of such an efficient journal will continue to rise.

The efficiency of this journal is low – the review period is long. Regardless, I did receive many helpful comments once I had the opportunity to read the reviews. One of the reviewers was a highly-regarded professor in the community, which was great. Our manuscript went through three rounds of revisions, and now I feel that it is much better than it was before… I just wish it didn’t take as long as it did.

I'm the same, haven't updated in a long time. How's your progress? I've been wanting to send an email to ask.

Will there be any dynamic like sending for review after the resubmission of the revision? Or will the decision be made directly?

Diamond crystal laser, I am also this editor, it feels quite fast. Just got delayed by myself.

What field are you in? I have submitted several articles, all of which are being handled by the editor-in-chief Ken Haenen. The review process is quite long, and it feels pretty slow.

It has been 20 days with the editor. Why is it taking so long? I see some comments saying it was quite fast. Could it be because of the recent high volume of submissions or related to the editor? The editor assigned to me is Professor Ken Haenen. Should I ask about it?

Submission on December 22, 2023.
Revision on May 26, 2024, with four reviewers and 20 comments.
Acceptance on July 27, 2024.
The process took a long time because two reviewers who accepted the manuscript did not provide feedback promptly, causing the editor to wait.

A total of 14 review invitations were sent out, with four people agreeing to review. Among them, two people have completed the review, and it has been a week since the RRR. I wonder if the first review will take three months?

Finally RRC, but I guess this slow journal will still take some time to make a decision. Just answer questions, no need to supplement experiments, do you want my love or not?

Just amazing, now we have another editor accepting manuscripts for review, but still only one person completes the review, it's been two whole months of this efficiency

(0) Thank | 2027要毕业

It's almost been two months, I am really amazed by the efficiency of this review process

(0) Thank | 2027要毕业

Only one reviewer completed the review. On May 1st, the editor added another reviewer. Now there are two reviewers accepting the review, but only one has finished. The efficiency is too slow
