The current PRA is no longer the PRA of the year, and it has become a school journal of the University of Science and Technology in China. Although there are some good articles rejected by PRL, the number of articles published has been increasing, there are more and more valueless articles, and the quality is far less than 10 years ago.

(126) Thank | All is well ST

There were also many valueless articles in Physical Review A. I can always find the experts have articles published in it, but some of them are truly not so good. This is probably the reason why its impact factor is not high, and it is not able to break through 3.

Although there is only one reviewer, the review process is very rigorous and the opinions are to the point. The quality of PR series journals is still guaranteed.

Ask if you don't understand, is subject assessment useful? Is PRA recognized in China?

(0) Thank | 佐治

Is it normal that it has been over a week with editors?

(1) Thank | TYUT-WHG

The revised manuscript has been accepted. Two reviewers, one specializing in theory and the other in experiments, both are quite professional. The reviewers in the PR series are still quite diligent and responsible.

In recent years, domestic academic assessments have been conducted. It seems that articles in the PR series have increased in value. I just submitted one and specially registered an account to pray for good luck.

@hao 8, you, a math person, also come to criticize physics, disgusting, how great do you think you are, have you found a job?

How can NJP possibly compare to the PR series? The quality and reputation are both lacking. I rarely read articles on NJP, so stop trying to make a presence!

(0) Thank | 逍瑶

I totally agree. Just take a look at the schools where the phd graduates of USTC are heading to now, and you will see that it's really hard to put into words.

This person is really talking nonsense, the PR series is recognized both domestically and internationally.

Why can't the articles by Pra be seen referencing other articles on the official website? Do you have to become an APS member?

PR series journals, the difficulty of submitting articles is high, with PRL being the most difficult, followed by NJP, PRA, and PRE. After major revisions, minor revisions are made, and finally accepted. The level of the editors and reviewers is very high.

Has your manuscript been submitted for review?

How difficult is the pra now? It was said before that it was very difficult to get it approved.

(1) Thank | xxlxaxx

You should not engage in scientific research if you are this kind of person. Mindless criticism, apart from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), you have published a lot in Physical Review A (PRA); there is even more publication in Physical Review B (PRB), isn't that just more watered down? Every journal has some low-quality articles, but overall the Physical Review series is still acceptable.

The first impression is that it was slow. The first review took two months, and the feedback was a major revision without a specific deadline for modifications. The second review took over two months, and the last reviewer did not provide any feedback. One reviewer provided feedback three days after the associate editor's acceptance.

The second impression is that it was thorough. The reviewers were highly skilled and pointed out structural issues in the article. Their questions were well-thought-out. After acceptance, the proofreading by the publishing department was the most meticulous I have ever encountered, with many grammar issues being corrected.

Overall, it was a very pleasant submission experience.
