Aims and Scope
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.

We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.

The review process of JL journal is too slow. I submitted the article in December 2020 and had to remind them multiple times. In August 2021, I finally received minor revisions and was given a month to make the changes. The entire submission process was slow, slow, slow, and it made me feel exhausted. Fortunately, the journal has good quality and reputation, so receiving minor revisions was somewhat comforting. I hope it gets accepted in the end.

I submitted it in early December last year, and received the first review back at the end of April this year. I was given two months to make revisions, which involved major changes. Then, it took one week for re-evaluation, and it was accepted. The review process was quite long; I suppose even the editor felt embarrassed about it. They didn't show it to the reviewers and just approved it directly.
