The review speed is very fast. The manuscript was submitted on August 27; about 3 weeks later, a major revision was required in the first review. The two reviewers gave very professional comments, which were very helpful to the revision of the article. After careful revision for a month, the revision was resubmitted, and it was accepted in two weeks after the second review. The article was still sent to the two previous reviewers, and both were very satisfied with the revision. Personally, I feel that it is necessary to be innovative and contain a lot of basic research work, and the requirements for language are quite high.

The efficiency is very high, and the review is relatively fast. A minor revision and cover invitation was required in 35 days. It got accepted directly after we modified the format and answered the reviewer’s questions. The overall feeling is that AC is a very meticulous and serious journal with very high requirements. It is very demanding to be innovative, and it must also conform to the specifications of analytical chemistry ~ requiring both rigorous and innovative.

The overall speed is relatively fast. The review results are given within two months, and sometimes they can be received within a month. The reviewers they found are of high level, and their comments are pertinent. I personally think it is a good journal. Now that the IF of each journal has generally risen sharply, it is more reasonable for this one to rise up to around 8.

I have been working on my research for nearly 12 years. I submitted my manuscript (finally) to this journal and received a wide range of critiques. There were four reviewers; the first rejected my study, the second accepted the paper, and the other two reviewers recommended major revisions. Overall, I received a ton of critiques and comments, and carefully responded to all of them within the editor’s deadline. Let’s hope for good news soon.

February 14th, one major revision and one minor revision
February 21st, revised
March 14th, one minor revision and acceptance
March 15th, revised
March 25th, accepted
March 27th, online
The review process was a little slower than before. Overall, it was still quite fast.

Hello, may I ask how to say "receive edited English emails after formatting changes" in English? I am Xiaoxiu, only making formatting changes, not sure if this is the correct term.

Hello, may I ask how long it took for you to receive the teacher for the minor repairs, which was supposed to take 20 days? It has been a month now and I have not heard anything yet.

Did you send an email in the end? What was the result?

Why is everything moving so slowly now? It's been a month since I sent Xiao Xiu back and still haven't heard anything. How long does it usually take for you to get news about Xiao Xiu now?

Two reviewers, the first accepted directly, the second with minor revisions.
The paper was submitted in early December 24, and the review comments were returned by the end of January 25, with a Christmas holiday in between.
The revision was made on February 4th, and the pre-acceptance was on March 8th, with the need for formatting changes. The formatting changes were returned on the 10th, and the acceptance was on the 13th.

I suspect it is due to the influence of Trump's dissolution of the Department of Education. Previously, the speed of our research group getting papers accepted was super fast, my last paper went from submission to acceptance in just 40 days. Now, after submitting this paper for minor revisions, there has been no response for 20 days, which is very abnormal.

In your situation, it is normal to receive on the same day.

It used to be quite fast, but now it's relatively slow. I submitted an article recently and still haven't received any results after three months.

Dear AC seniors, I submitted a paper and was asked to make formatting revisions by March 4th, and to submit the revised version by March 5th. However, I have not heard anything back yet. Is this normal? How long does it usually take to receive acceptance notifications?

(0) Thank | star

May I ask when you received the revised format? I also received the revised format and it has been 6 days since then, but there has been no progress.

The new version still shows the "received" status in the "under con." column. Where can we check the status of the review?
