You are currently in the initial screening stage, which will take about 10 days or so. In special circumstances, it may take a bit longer. The next stage is usually Under Peer Review.

Doesn't "under evaluation" mean it hasn't been submitted for review yet?

Doesn't "under evaluation" mean it hasn't been submitted for review yet?

吉珠可乐 2023-04-23

There is actually no exact unified time for this, as different reviewers have different speeds in reviewing. It varies from person to person. In my case, it takes about 40 days or so.

FZY 2023-04-23

May I ask how long it takes for the status of "under evaluation" to change?

吉珠可乐 2023-04-23

The journal has a very high level. It has undergone two major revisions and has been accepted. The issues are very professional, worthy of being a top-tier journal in Zone 1!

FZY 2023-04-18

Hasn't there been any reminder for over 40 days? It's been over ten days now and there hasn't been any change in evaluation.

How long does it take after "under evaluation"? It has been over 40 days for me and there's still no response.

FZY 2023-04-13

Do any friends know how long it takes to send for review after being under evaluation?

孤独的舞者 2023-04-12

Actually, the author's estimation is correct. As of April 2023, the real-time impact factor of this journal is calculated to be 0.62. Due to a large denominator, the number of citations simply cannot keep up, making it difficult to even reach 2 points in 2023. It is advised to be cautious when submitting.

xxxxlml 2023-04-02

A large expansion of the publication, if the citation rate cannot keep up, will become a low-quality publication. Please be cautious when submitting.

Hello, previously I saw your post. It has been one month since the second review, is there any update now? This is the fourth week for me.

苏拉明 2023-03-27

After my submission to mSystems was rejected, the editor suggested turning to Microbiology Spectrum. However, it has been 74 days since the first review and there has been no progress. What is going on?

undefined 2023-03-27

I guess you have submitted it for a second review! It usually takes one month for a second review.

鸭鸭鸭123 2023-03-23

I will receive it one month after the revision.

天天开心 2023-03-23

Just want to ask everyone, how long did it take for you to receive news after the revision was reviewed? It has already been three weeks.

Bio平平 2023-03-21

A student with strong hostility, who is arrogant. May I ask, what is your opinion on Zhongnong?

Bio平平 2023-03-21

I wrote that I had already submitted and got rejected, but now I'm saying that I haven't submitted before. If you didn't take the postgraduate entrance exam, I suggest you review some math to give you a "score of around 1, 100% accurate" calculation process. You privately messaged me saying that you were wrong and inaccurate, but here in the reply, you are still being stubborn. If you want to pursue IF and post on STE, that is the place suitable for you.

Bio平平 2023-03-21

The current difficulty level of this journal's submission is at a 4-point level. Were you frustrated and angry when your submission was rejected by a 4-point journal? "In 2021 and 2022, the total number of articles is over 2500, and the expected impact factor is expected to drop to around 1, one hundred percent." Have you taken the postgraduate entrance examination for mathematics?

天天开心 2023-03-17

Did you rush the draft? Why does it take so long to repair?

undefined 2023-03-14

It has been a month since the repair, and there is still no news. Can I remind them?

The text translates to: "The article has been revised four times, and the journal editor and reviewers were very professional. I hope it can continue to improve and be stably ranked in the 1st tier of the Academy of Sciences."

许木头 2023-02-23

The Chinese Academy of Sciences really doesn't understand zoning. Check the Cite Score ranking and real-time impact factor carefully before investing!

wangcm 2023-02-07

The review speed is quite fast, it took 4 months from submission to acceptance, and it went through 3 revisions. The experts and editors are very professional.

Bio平平 2023-02-02

Forgot to mention one thing, currently the speed of submission depends on luck, depending on how fast the reviewers are or how many experts there are in the field. However, based on ASM, it is always possible to find reviewers who are very knowledgeable in the subject matter. The reviewers I have encountered have provided precise feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of my article, which is important for improving the quality of the article regardless of acceptance.

Bio平平 2023-02-02

This journal has been undergoing a transformation for the past two years, and it is hard to say what the future holds. However, it is quite unseemly for certain groups (fans of a so-called high impact factor journal) to be so excited. As for discussing the value for money, I would advise against investing in any of ASM's journals. They have a low value for money. How about the value for money of mBio? What about AEM? These journals have the lowest impact factors among those with similar submission difficulties. If you want to chase impact factor, it is better to submit to STE and JHM instead... ASM is a giant in the microbiology field, so be careful not to shoot yourself in the foot.

Speaking solely about the journal itself, currently it focuses on the generalizability of research ideas and methods, meaning it aims to provide effective ideas and methods for the scientific community, rather than innovation (gimmicks, new data). It may be relatively easier to get published in this journal in order to increase its impact factor, but the future is uncertain.

大呲花 2023-01-23

After submission, it takes about one month for the editorial department to update the manuscript status. The entire process from submission to acceptance takes nearly three months.

大呲花 2023-01-23

The following text translates to English as: "Under the American Society for Microbiology, this journal focuses on microbiological research in both fundamental and applied fields. The reviewers are strict, some opinions are difficult to address, and careful consideration is required. The peer-review process is relatively long, so be cautious if time is limited!"

However, some people have said the same thing in previous years, but in the end, it still increased. As a undergraduate research beginner, I also didn't understand, originally worried that it would decrease, but unexpectedly, it turned into Zone 1 after acceptance.

大胖龟 2023-01-08

Good luck! Last year, I submitted an article, and at that time it was still in the 2nd tier. Our school only recognizes regional divisions.
