I have a relatively positive view of this journal and have high hopes for its impact factor to exceed 10. However, my personal experience with submitting a manuscript was not good. I received the decision of the second round of review on the same day, which caused me to explode emotionally, so I came here to vent. Afterwards, I realized that there would definitely be people who would criticize me, and accidentally seeing their comments inevitably affected my mood, but I couldn't find a way to delete the comments.

Regarding my submission, I initially submitted to Joule and went through two revisions before it was rejected. The editor of Cell Reports Physical Science sent me an email invitation to transfer my submission, expressing interest in the content of my paper and promising it would be 100% free. They also mentioned that the paper could be pre-accepted or at most sent back to one reviewer for a second review. However, the paper was directly sent back to the original three reviewers. After waiting for two months, the paper was accepted by the other reviewers, but one reviewer still had concerns and the editor rejected it directly.

Perhaps many people would think this is normal. I now realize that I was quite out of control at the time and felt pigeonholed. I couldn't help but react in the moment. I still need to continue cultivating my own mentality.
