Aims and Scope
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials and carbon nanomaterials. The journal reports new, relevant and significant findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons, which are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon. These materials can be either synthetic or of natural origin, and include, but are not limited to: carbon black; carbon fibers and filaments; carbon nanotubes; diamond and diamond-like carbon; fullerenes; glassy carbon; graphite; graphene; graphene-oxide; porous carbons; pyrolytic carbon; and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Papers on composites will be considered if the carbon component is the major focus of the paper's scientific content.

The review process took over two months to receive reviewer comments, which was quite torturous. The major revision was given four weeks to address eight comments from one reviewer, including four challenging issues that required additional experiments and four simpler ones. I wanted to request a two-week extension and submitted four days earlier, but it ended up being sent for review at the agreed-upon time. It was accepted two days after the review. This is my first paper during my doctoral studies, and I will continue to strive for excellence!

During the Chinese New Year, with nothing to do, I reviewed the performance assessment standards of numerous 985 universities and summarized the classification of current material and chemistry journals. The ranking of each journal in each category is not in any particular order, strongly challenging the classification system of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

1. Nature, Science (top-tier journals)
2. Nature sub-journals, a few sub-journals of Science (sub-journals)
3. Joule, Matter, Chem, JACS, Angew, PNAS, AM, Small NC, SA, National Science Review (top industry journals)
4. ACS Nano, ACS Energy Letters, ACS Materials Letters, CM, Nano Letters, AFM, AEM, AS, Cell Reports Physical Science, Nano Energy, energy storage materials, EES, science bulletin, materials today, Chemical Science, etc. (well-known industry journals)
5. Carbon, JMCA, ACS AMI, JPS, CC, CEJ, Journal of membrane science, Small, etc. (renowned journals in the field)
