ACS Applied Bio Materials

For those who have not yet submitted, you must think twice before taking action, and you must avoid pitfalls! This journal was first established in 2018 and cannot be considered a new publication anymore. Until now, it is only indexed in ESCI, not SCI, not SCI, not SCI... The sub-journal of AMI only has BIO, which is not SCI. It is unlikely for BIO to enter SCI this year, and it is also unlikely for the next five years. You must avoid pitfalls. Submitting to this journal is equivalent to nullifying an article. ESCI is not recognized domestically. Do not recognize ESCI. If you see this comment, you must avoid this journal. It is better to submit to your own school's journal, which may be considered as a Chinese core journal. ESCI does not count for anything. It is equivalent to publishing an experimental report online, which cannot be used for graduation or awards. The future prospects of this journal are not promising. Most of the articles are from hydrology in India, with messy pictures and rough style. There are basically no domestic submissions to this journal, except for some special issues. For those in related fields, you can submit to ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering. The difficulty is not much higher than this BIO journal, but it is a solid SCI journal. It works for anything! Be sure to avoid the pitfall! This APPLIED BIO cannot be included in SCI in the next few years, and it may never be included. It is the abandoned child of ACS, not as good as MDPI.

18 years, three sub-journals BIO, ENERGY, NANO, let's see what level ENERGY and NANO have reached now. BIO is barely alive with its inclusion in ESCI. Since BIO is not developing well, why start this sub-journal? They intentionally appointed a Chinese person as the responsible editor to suppress the development of BIO. Indeed, all the work in the BIO field can be incorporated into NANO. The BIO field can be further refined and is actually unnecessary. It is suggested that everyone directly write a letter to the editor-in-chief of AMI to cancel the BIO journal and not embarrass ourselves by keeping it. All the articles published in it should be directly placed in NANO or deleted and thrown into the academic trash can, press the clear button. Thinking of this magazine makes me sick. Journals that cannot enter SCIE should be kicked out of the ACS team.

This is the journal's status after six years! The indexes of other sub-journals cover important disciplines, while this one can only index abstracts and previews. It is at the bottom of the bottom. Strongly urge ACS to remove ACS ABM, this lousy journal!
