Clicked wrong. The submission cycle is three weeks.

April 8: Submission
April 27: First review comments
June 8: Submit revised manuscript
June 9: Pre-acceptance, insisted on changing the manuscript from PDF to Word format, even though I submitted the original text in LaTeX format *.tex. This pre-acceptance was quite ambiguous. I was happy at that time, but now I still don't understand what this pre-acceptance means.
June 13: Editorial office sent an email reminder
June 14: Since it was supplementary material, the editor did not open the second submission system. They asked me to send the Word version to the editorial office. I sent it, but the email was too large, so I split it into two emails.
June 15: They told me they didn't receive the files because they were too large. They opened the submission system instead of going through the editorial office. This delayed the acceptance by 3 weeks (now it seems that 3 weeks is a normal cycle for ACS Sensors). Now I think that after the revision, within one or two days, the two reviewers agreed to accept it, but because of the format issue, they couldn't process the .tex file. That's why they asked for Word and led to the unnecessary steps below.
June 22: Sent an email asking for an update, told to wait.
June 29: Sent an email asking for an update, told to wait.
July 7: Accepted.

Received, the work is very meaningful. It combines sensors with disease diagnosis. I consider it to be a pioneering work in diagnosing a specific disease. That's why I submitted it to Science Advance, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Biosensors and Bioelectrons, ACS Nano, and ACS Sensors. The feeling is that this sensor is indeed somewhat niche. Journals like Science Advance allow you to choose your own editors, but there are no similar peers or the most prestigious colleagues in your field who are qualified to be editors for these journals. Currently, the more popular topics are energy, biology, and wearables.

Once it reached this editor's hands, it really became slow. It has been half a month without any changes, even after sending an email to urge them, it was useless. They asked me to patiently wait, truly speechless.

Excuse me, how long does it take for the review? Mine has been with the editor for half a month already, and sending emails to urge hasn't been effective.

Thank you ACS Sensors for accepting it. Currently, the impact factor is over 9, and the competition in the field of analytical chemistry journals is fierce.

I would like to ask, did you make any revisions to your grammar as the reviewer mentioned that it was not good? Or did you only respond to the experiment-related questions?

May I ask if being rejected by ACS Nano without being reviewed will have any impact on submitting to ACS Sensors?

From submission to online in less than three months, quite fast. The first experimental article took over half a year to submit, starting from ACS NANO and finally accepted by ACS SENSOR. Thanks to ACS SENSOR for accepting it and thanks to editor Eric Bakker for the recognition.

Translation: OP, what is the situation when there is no news after assigning an editor?

ACS Sensors is indeed difficult to submit to, with an annual volume of only three to four hundred articles, it's impossible to accept so many. Speaking of spam articles, don't you think AMI is particularly notorious for that?

ACS sensors is currently a good place for top scholars to discuss and exchange ideas. In recent years, after achieving stability in the Impact Factor (IF), its positioning has become clear as a second-tier journal. I have submitted two manuscripts to Michael Sailor, and both were rejected after being under review for a whole month. There was no status update on them being in peer review, nor any reviewer comments provided. I dislike this person. On a side note, one of the manuscripts that he rejected later got accepted by AMI, indicating that its quality was not actually poor.

From submission to acceptance took 38 days, the editor is Professor Shana Kelley from the University of Toronto, and the handling speed of the manuscript was very fast with high efficiency!

From the beginning of 2021 to the acceptance of the manuscript, it took more than three months, significantly longer than the previous review cycle. Our team focuses on research in optical sensing and imaging, and the content is well-suited for this journal. However, the journal has high requirements for the novelty and workload of research work, and the comments provided by the reviewers are challenging and constructive. Currently, among multiple international journals focusing on sensor research, ACS Sensors has a high level of influence and article quality, placing it at the forefront of the industry.

The research content of gas-sensitive sensors is originally niche. It is normal to be rejected by journals such as JMCA, AM, AFM, and sometimes they don't even send it for review. Moreover, when Professor Tao Nongjian was alive, ACS Sensors did not allow a focus on materials. After Professor Tao's passing, the journal changed its rules and allowed articles on materials to be submitted. It will be difficult for this journal to break into the top ten, and it is expected to reach around 9 in the next three years. Good luck!

In ACS Sensors, I think your article should be at the level of JMCA, which is already very good.

October 23, 2020: Submitted initial draft
October 27, 2020: Technical review did not pass, requested to supplement some data and resubmit (editor requested analysis data to have error bars)
November 8, 2020: Resubmitted as requested
November 18, 2020: System shows "in peer review"
December 22, 2020: Received email from boss requesting revisions. Three reviewers, one malicious rejection, two minor revisions or direct acceptance (supplementing characterization data and language modifications - reviewers are really funny: author received "Worst Grammar Award of 2020" issued by me)
January 8, 2021: Returned with revisions, then further sent for review
January 28, 2021: Manuscript pre-accepted, no new reviewer comments, just formatting modifications as requested
February 1, 2021: Received acceptance letter.
This work is about gas sensors. The experiment took less than three months, but the boss's revisions took almost half a year. A lot of data was added, but the submission process took over half a year, going through AM, AFM, JMCA, and getting rejected without mercy. Finally, chose a new journal for sensors, hoping ACS Sensors will make great progress and reach a high impact factor.
