Aims and Scope
NPG Asia Materials is an open access, international journal publishing peer-reviewed review and primary research articles that cover all aspects of the materials sciences. The journal is global in outlook and reach and its base in the Asia-Pacific reflects the substantial — and increasing — output of materials research from the region.

NPG Asia Materials is aimed at an audience of scientists and researchers across the full spectrum of materials research, and publishes articles from the physical and chemical sciences, biotechnology and nanotechnology. The journal welcomes high-quality review and research articles from the most rapidly advancing fields that lie at the borders between materials science and engineering and the classical disciplines of physics, chemistry and biology.

During the major revision phase, only two out of three reviewers raised questions, with around 30 questions raised in total. Out of these, 12 required major revisions and additional experimental explanations. Each point was addressed with supplementary experimental explanations. The questions were not very challenging, as there was a 60-day time frame for revisions. However, it was not possible to address one question regarding animal experiments, so we provided an honest explanation. Both reviewers were satisfied with the major revision and recommended acceptance. One of the reviewers suggested changing the title to make it more accurate, so we made the change.
The minor revision took 19 days, with the third reviewer providing feedback. After incorporating the revisions from both rounds, the paper was recommended for acceptance.
From submission to acceptance, it took 5 and a half months. Our laboratory is not highly renowned, but the editorial department was unbiased. We encourage everyone to submit their work!
The reviewers were very meticulous, even reading through each reference. We are very grateful and have learned a lot from their feedback!

I want to ask you experts, why am I still under consideration after one and a half months of submission? It hasn't been reviewed yet, but I'm eager to get it published. Do you think I should wait a little longer or withdraw my submission?
