Aims and Scope
Sensors and Actuators A: Physical brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal entirely devoted to disseminating information on all aspects of research and development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical regularly publishes original papers, letters to the Editors and from time to time invited review articles within the following device areas:
• Fundamentals and Physics, such as: classification of effects, physical effects, measurement theory, modelling of sensors, measurement standards, measurement errors, units and constants, time and frequency measurement. Modeling papers should bring new modeling techniques to the field and be supported by experimental results.
• Materials and their Processing, such as: piezoelectric materials, polymers, metal oxides, III-V and II-VI semiconductors, thick and thin films, optical glass fibres, amorphous, polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon.
• Optoelectronic sensors, such as: photovoltaic diodes, photoconductors, photodiodes, phototransistors, positron-sensitive photodetectors, optoisolators, photodiode arrays, charge-coupled devices, light-emitting diodes, injection lasers and liquid-crystal displays.
• Mechanical sensors, such as: metallic, thin-film and semiconductor strain gauges, diffused silicon pressure sensors, silicon accelerometers, solid-state displacement transducers, piezo junction devices, piezoelectric field-effect transducers (PiFETs), tunnel-diode strain sensors, surface acoustic wave devices, silicon micromechanical switches, solid-state flow meters and electronic flow controllers.

Verified Reviews
2020.11.28 Major Revision
2021.1.23 Acceptance
The journal is still good, with quick review and high efficiency. One of the reviewers paid great attention to detail and emphasized the innovation points. Although there were some careless errors at that time, a major revision was still given. However, the most disappointing thing is that the journal's ranking in the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) zone was upgraded in 2020, but then downgraded again in 2021. At that time, I thought that once it was upgraded, but who knew that the CAS zone ranking would change every year. The paper was accepted, but the ranking went back down. It's frustrating...
5.15 returned for major revisions, with a deadline of 6.04 for resubmission
5.29 submitted revised manuscript
6.23 accepted
During the initial review process, there were two reviewers assigned, but one of them was very slow! We sent a reminder to the editorial department at the end of April, and only after the editor sent additional review invitations did we receive new reviewer comments.
Similarly, after the revisions, there were a total of two reviewers, but one reviewer did not respond for almost a month. However, the editor directly decided to accept the article. We are grateful to the editor.
