Aims and Scope
Physica status solidi (RRL) - Rapid Research Letters was designed to offer extremely fast publication times and is currently one of the fastest double peer-reviewed publication media in solid state and materials physics. Average times are 11 days from submission to first editorial decision, and 12 days from acceptance to online publication. It communicates important findings with a high degree of novelty and need for express publication, as well as other results of immediate interest to the solid-state physics and materials science community. Published Letters require approval by at least two independent reviewers.

The journal covers topics such as preparation, structure and simulation of advanced materials, theoretical and experimental investigations of the atomistic and electronic structure, optical, magnetic, superconducting, ferroelectric and other properties of solids, nanostructures and low-dimensional systems as well as device applications. Rapid Research Letters particularly invites papers from interdisciplinary and emerging new areas of research.

The boss originally wanted me to submit to PRB, but I found it difficult and was also in a hurry to graduate, so I directly submitted to this one (JPCM is much slower). After more than three weeks, I received the first round of reviews, made revisions within a week (modifying the reference format), and then received the final decision. The whole process took a little over a month. PSSRRL used to be in the second tier, but now it is in the third tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The journal's impact factor is now around 2.8, which is a decrease from the previous 3.7. I hope it will improve in the future, IF UP UP!

From submission to going live, it took only 2 months, which is a very fast speed.
The suggestions proposed by the experts are very targeted and greatly helpful in improving the article.
PSSRRL is an old and prestigious journal. Although it still has some gaps compared to PRB and APL in the field of condensed matter, it may be better than journals like JPD, JPCM, and JAP.
I am also very happy to have one paper accepted and I hope it can return to the second district soon.
