Here I have to complain about the Journal of Chemical Physics. After submitting the manuscript, the editor spent more than a week inviting reviewers, and then replied that he could not find one. He read the article and found it was meaningless and rejected it. However, the editor was not in the same field as me, and the operation is miserable. Later, it was transferred to the New Journal of Physics, and it was accepted directly. Could it be that the level of the Journal of Chemical Physics is higher than that of the New Journal of Physics now?

JCP is a top journal in the field of physical chemistry and atomic and molecular physics, which has published many Nobel Prize achievements. A very good journal, but it is very difficult to publish here. It should have deep theoretical knowledge and thorough analysis, and the requirements for English is also high. Being able to publish an article here will earn you a place in the field.

I submitted an article a long time ago. I remember that it was an iconic journal of theoretical chemistry around 2005. In these years, with the rise of other journals as Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, it seems that this journal has declined greatly. It’s a pity!

The editor assigned five reviewers. Potential high-impact topics: Chemical reaction transition state finding algorithm (saddle point accurate search algorithm), non-equilibrium thermodynamics theory, machine learning accelerated molecular dynamics method, artificial intelligence, fitting high-dimensional potential energy surface algorithm, DFT dipole moment and van der Waals precision correction theory, three-dimensional theoretical model of single-molecule tensile force experiment, etc.

How many days did it take for your current status to reach the editor's hands?

Hello, senior brother, after reading your comments, I have regained the motivation to continue pursuing theoretical studies.

Does anyone know how long it takes for this journal to be indexed by SCI after publication?

What's going on with the submission check for three days? Does anyone know?

I'm just too busy. I have five rounds to go, and I'm even slower than you.

(0) Thank | Fdddd

Have your family members encountered this situation? UC UR has already gone through six rounds, is it because the reviewers are too busy to review or is it a hint of rejection? If you have any questions, please have a milk tea!

Hello, I would like to ask about the current status, which is submission check. It has been two days and I haven't received any updates. Do you send an email to the corresponding author for confirmation during this check, or do we just need to wait for confirmation from the editorial office? Looking forward to your reply, thank you very much.

Hey, do we need to follow the reference citation format for these sources? It's my first time submitting a paper.

The overall scores given by two reviewers are in the top 5% and top 25-50%, respectively. Is the chance of getting this high score high?

Received a publication, coming to fulfill my vow. Organized the submission experience and hope it can help others.

11.1 Submitted;
11.5 Under review;
11.19 First round of reviewer comments (from two reviewers);
11.27 Revised submission;
12.11 Second round of reviewer comments (editor suggested checking language rigor);
12.13 Revised submission;
12.19 Accepted for publication.

My first SCI publication during my PhD, the hard work paid off. Will continue to strive for excellence. Grateful for the time and effort put in by the editor and reviewers. Wishing the journal continued success!

Fall into Tier Three, let's cancel the major of atomic and molecular physics in the future, and all switch to materials and interdisciplinary studies.

Is this magazine stable? I hope it won't drop to third tier by the end of the year.

It may also be that the status has not been updated in time, so please wait and see.

Research friend, what does "under consideration" mean? Is it under review? I initially notified the author of the email error and told them that once the correct email is provided, it will be sent for review. However, it has been a week and it is still under consideration. Does this mean the editor is not taking action or is it a rejection?
