Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
Submitted in early June, received feedback after a month. Two editors reviewed the manuscript, one accepted it after minor revisions, while the other rejected it outright. The boss successfully appealed and made modifications based on the previous comments. The manuscript was resubmitted and after another month, it received acceptance from all three reviewers after modifications were made. A few additional experiments were added and then the revised manuscript was returned. It was accepted five days later. Special thanks to Amy Shen, the editor from Japan, for her speedy handling of the manuscript. I also hope that Soft Matter continues to improve.

Accepted on April 7, 2021
Submitted on February 4, 2021, returned for major revisions on March 8, 2021. There were two reviewers in total, and approximately 30 comments were received. After making the necessary modifications, reviewer 1 had six additional questions. The editor stated that the paper could be accepted after the revisions. On April 4, 2021, the revised paper was sent back to the reviewer, and three days later, on April 7, 2021, it was officially accepted! The process was extremely fast, the reviewers were professional and attentive, and they provided many valuable suggestions.
