ACS Applied Nano Materials

3.29 From Langmuir's recommendation, it only took two days to enter the external review stage.
4.20 Received major revisions, with one minor revision and three major revisions (the first two reviewers gave high praise and positive feedback, while the latter two mainly provided suggestions for experimental supplementation and modification). On average, each reviewer had eight questions, and we had to conduct four or five additional experiments, which consumed a lot of time.
Editor Prof. Yanli Zhao was very responsible and also provided better title suggestions.
Due to language issues, the overall changes were significant, and almost the entire paper was polished. The experimental section was also greatly enriched. In the end, we were pressed for time.
Submitted at 5:00 am on May 11th, and to our surprise, we received efficient processing and affirmation.
At 11:00 am on May 11th, we already received an intention to accept, and after making some formatting changes, the paper was accepted the same day.
Finally, this is my first SCI paper, and it coincided with my graduation. I am grateful for the thorough review and suggestions from the editor and reviewers. Although the revisions were challenging, the overall quality of the article greatly exceeded my expectations, and I am very satisfied!

I was rejected when I submitted my paper to ACS AMI, so I resubmitted it. I submitted it on February 4th and received reviewer comments on February 27th. There were four minor revisions requested. I really dislike having to deal with four reviewers, and the editor also provided suggestions. I had to spend 2400 RMB on English proofreading. I completed the revisions in three weeks. I replied with a responding letter on March 20th. The editor replied on March 28th, stating that all the reviewers agreed to accept the paper, but the editor requested further modifications based on the responding letter. On April 8th, I replied with a second round of responding letter and the revised full text. It was accepted on April 19th and published online.

You can tell that the editor's requirements are quite high, as the editors at ACS are professors from renowned universities in the United States and around the world. It's just that going through all this trouble, why not collect more data and submit to a better journal?

Well, let's consider it as an investment. Hopefully, the impact factor will increase in the future.
