On 3rd Dec.: Submission; On 15th Dec.: First review. There were three reviewers. One reviewer was not satisfied with the part of introduction; The other two reviewers found two of the pictures also some details such as language were not satisfactory. However, the review comments given were relatively positive, stating that there was a certain degree of innovation. Of the three reviewers, two reviewers requested major revisions and one minor revision, and the editor major revision. Rewritten the introduction and supplemented the relevant data, the revised manuscript was re-submitted within 5 days as required. And the time was a bit tight. On 20th Dec., the first review comments were replied and returned; On 25th Dec., in the second review, there were still the same reviewers and basically no more other review comments. The article was majorly revised in language. On 28th Dec., it showed the article was accepted. Basically, every step has a strict due time. The speed of reviewing by this journal and the editor's reply is very fast, and each step can be clearly checked on the website. The article which has a clear logic, expression, and a certain degree of innovation could be accepted. Those who are in a hurry could consider this journal.

Received: 28 November 2019 / Revised: 13 December 2019 / Accepted: 18 December 2019 / Published: 20 December 2019. For the first SCI of my first-grade post-graduate, it was submitted to OE and was rejected by the reviewer due to lack of innovation, and then transferred. The editing efficiency was very high. It was sent for review the next day. Three reviewers reviewed it for about 10 days. Minor revisions were requested by 3 reviewers, and revisions by editor. But only 5 days were given. Then the reviewer and editor agreed to accept. The publication fee was about 11,000 RMB, which was actually not too expensive. Because top journals also have expensive publication fees, such as OE and NC. And before publication, one free polishing service will be offered, and you could choose to use his English revision or not. At present, I have also submitted for other free journals. The speed is really slow. It takes one month to return the review opinions. TT

The review process is rigorous, but there should be a strict time limit for reviewers to upload comments, so reviewers respond quickly to comments. The manuscript was submitted for review on the second day of submission, and the first review lasted two weeks. Four reviewers, two required minor revisions, one required major revision, and one rejected it, who said that the article was not innovative. The academic editor finally gave the opportunity to us to make a major revision within 5 days. The process of major revision was too urgent. According to the reviewer’s comments, the experiment was done, the mechanism, the important parameters, and the details of the experiment were supplemented. It felt very nervous all day and night. Finally, we applied for an extension of the revision period. The editor was very good. He responded quickly, and extended it for another three days. After 8 days, we finally revised the article according to the reviewer's comments, and gave a literature review to the reviewer with rejection to explain our innovation. The four reviewers, except the one who rejected the manuscript, raised about 8 questions per person, including three or four that were difficult to answer. The responses were over 30 pages. After the revised submission, the reviewer with rejection still rejected it. Even the comment text was no different from the first review. At that time, I felt terrible. I had responded so seriously to the comments and made a literature review to explain the innovation and the difference with others' research one by one. The other reviewers all recommended to accept. I waited nervously for a day. On the third day, the assistant editor sent an email saying that the article had been accepted. I was still very happy. After all, I felt that my work was recognized. The speed afterwards was very fast. The editor sent an email on the second day of acceptance and asked us to complete the proofreading within 24 hours. The proofreading was completed on the same day and it was returned, and then it was published on the third day.

My work is on the acid hydrolysis behavior of hybrid materials. Initially submitted to Langmuir and JCIS, rejected without peer review. Then I submitted to more specialized journals, MMM and PDS, again rejected without peer review. RSC Advances sent it out for review, more than two month; 1 reviewer requested minor revision and 2 rejected. Then I decided to try an open access journal and submitted to Nanomaterials. Submitted on February 5, and received review comments February 19. One editor requested minor revision and the other suggested rejection. The editor gave the decision of rejection with the opportunity to re-submit. The reasons for rejection were just language expression and some part of the discussion not good enough. After spending 2 days to revise it, I re-submitted on the 21st, and received the comments for major revisions on March 8. It was sent to the same two reviewers. The one who rejected initially requested major revision this time, just modifying the language. Re-submitted on the same day, accepted the next day, and published online on the 14th.

Submission Experience: The submission process went smoothly, with no long waiting times. I received three reviews, all of which provided constructive feedback. It was clear that the reviewers were not overly critical. I highly recommend the special issue I submitted to: Nanostructured Biomass-Based Materials for Energy Storage and Environmental Remediation.

Within a week, the editor found reviewers, went through three rounds of revisions based on their feedback. One of the reviewers was exceptionally meticulous and thorough, rejecting anything that was unclear. The paper was accepted in just a month! The process was fast, and now it has been downgraded to a Tier 3 journal due to the high number of submissions
