The feedback provided was very positive, the journal is more user-friendly and values the completeness of experiments and novelty of applications. The overall process was quite fast.

2023-01-22

Old-fashioned journal, ranked in the second district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, submitted three articles, one was accepted, the review speed is moderate, with initial review taking 1.5 to 2 months. Recently, it has been quite difficult, especially when there are both positive and negative review comments, my articles have been rejected by the editorial board.
