Analytica Chimica Acta

2023.2.20 - First submission. On the 22nd, it was under review. Six reviewers were requested. After one week, three reviewers accepted the review. On March 18th, the completion of reviews was requested. On March 20th, the reviews were completed. The three reviewers had different opinions - one gave a positive review, one thought it had novelty but was not complete enough, and one believed it lacked innovation and comparative experiments. The editor was friendly, rejected the submission but encouraged resubmission after modifications. After making the modifications, it was resubmitted on April 10th. On the 13th, it was under review again, with three reviewers requested (not sure if they were the same as the previous ones). Two reviewers accepted the review. On May 5th, the completion of reviews was required. On May 8th, the review comments came back, but only one reviewer's opinion was received (they thought the modifications were good). The editor sent an acceptance email. Before being accepted by ACA, it had also been rejected several times, and the process was difficult and torturous. Fortunately, it was eventually accepted.

Come, come, come, I finally got a paper accepted and I want to share the good news with everyone.

In short, the reviewers were very efficient this time. I have been rejected before, but this time I combined deep learning with online detection, and the reviewers liked it very much. This journal is good. Finally, I have published my first paper in a top-tier journal. I will continue to work hard.
