Journal of the European Ceramic Society

The review process is indeed very fast, but the editing review is a bit slow.
5.27 submitted
5.29 with editor
6.08 with editor
6.13 with editor, 3 editors reviewed it. Online, it is said that once it is submitted for review, half of the success is achieved, but in reality, most rejections happen at the editing stage before it is even sent out.
6.17 under review
7.02 required reviews completed
7.05 Major revision required. When I first saw the review comments, I thought it would be a minor revision. The reviewer's evaluation was also quite good, with 4 out of 5 comments being about formatting issues. I wonder why it is considered a major revision upon submission, perhaps due to too many formatting errors.

I hope this is helpful for those who are submitting to European Ceramics.

October 5 - Submission
October 6 - Preliminary review by the editor-in-chief
October 10 - Assigned to specific editor (revolution is halfway successful after passing the preliminary review stage)
October 12 - Under review
October 17 - Required reviews completed (the reviewers finished their work in just 5 days, a chilling feeling...)
October 25 - Feedback received, major revisions, 2 months (from thinking it was hopeless to having major revisions, still feeling happy...)
November 11 - Uploaded revised manuscript
November 14 - Accepted. The speed is really fast. From submission to acceptance in one month, impressive.
I am working in the field of ceramic glaze, a very traditional one. This is my 3rd paper in this field.
