Hello, how long after the acceptance of the article will I receive the proof? It has been almost a month for mine and I haven't been asked for the proofreading yet.

Editing is fast, hoping to achieve an impact factor of over 10 this year and return to the top tier.

Yes, it has already been proofread and the revisions were very meticulous.

Excuse me, has it been proven?

xxxzhong 2023-02-06

Excuse me, how long does it take to receive the proofreading after the article is accepted?

xxxzhong 2023-02-06

Excuse me, sir/madam, how long does it take for proofreading after your article is accepted?

The review speed is very fast, the editors are very good, and the questions raised by the reviewers are professional. I hope the journal will continue to improve and look forward to regaining its status in the top journal rankings.

I transferred to Aegew after my submission was rejected, based on the reviewer's opinion.
- Submitted to Angew on 12th August.
- Rejected on 25th August.
- Revised according to the reviewer's comments and transferred to ChemSusChem on 7th September.
- Review conducted on 7th September (response from the original reviewer).
- Pre-accepted on 22nd September, with one reviewer giving 5% and another giving 20%. The editor requested formatting and image modifications.
- Submitted revised manuscript on 23rd September.
- Accepted and published online on 23rd September.
I would like to thank Dr. Halgard Staesche, the deputy editor, for his high efficiency. ChemSusChem is a highly reputable journal, and I hope it returns to the upgraded Zone 1 of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

You can submit it to Additional Material - Author, or simply explain it in the Author Comments. It's actually fine if you don't submit it.

少年与梦- 2022-09-01

This is my fourth master's thesis and also the fastest journal I have encountered.

Submitted on May 30, 2022.

Revised on June 10, 2022, with a total of 11 comments from two reviewers.

Submitted revised manuscript on June 24, 2022.

Accepted on June 27, 2022.

ChemSusChem has a high recognition in the field of green sustainability/energy and publishes good quality papers. I don't know how they determine the ranking in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but it has been downgraded to the second tier, non-top. I hope the journal editors can manage it well and make it better and better!

This journal is the fastest among all the journals I have submitted to, and this point must be mentioned. I submitted it on the 4th, received the review comments on the 15th, and all three reviewers strongly recommended it. After minor revisions, I resubmitted it on the 20th and it was accepted online on the 29th. It seems that the Impact Factor (IF) could reach 10 next year, and I hope it can be listed in the top journal category.

2022.5.11 Submission
2022.6.7 Returned, the editor gave a rejection with the option to resubmit after editing. Two reviewers provided several suggestions, but did not explicitly reject it. I felt that a major revision would be more appropriate, which made me quite disappointed. I was afraid that spending time on revisions would be a waste if it didn't work out. During this period, I also tried submitting several other articles with over 10 pages, but none of them were sent for review. So, I calmed down and focused on revising the article, addressing each comment.
2022.7.4 Resubmitted
2022.8.10 Returned, requiring major revisions
2022.8.28 Accepted.
Summary: The review comments came back relatively quickly, and there is still a good chance for resubmission after rejection. Don't be discouraged, as I have previously had a submission that was accepted after being rejected and resubmitted. There is a high probability of acceptance with careful revisions.

2022.5.13 Submission
2022.6.16 Received feedback for minor revisions, 2 small revisions and 1 major revision
2022.7.24 Submitted after modification (editor requested submission by July 6, but requested a 20-day extension due to additional experiments and theoretical calculations)
2022.7.29 Accepted, online
Summary: Quick process, professional reviewers, significantly improved the article.

Did you finally figure it out? I also encountered this problem, seeking a kind person to provide an answer.

chemietao 2022-06-28

I submitted it on June 1st, and it's already the 28th, but there is still no news. Didn't they say there would be results within three weeks? Will it be arbitrated?

咖啡太侬 2022-05-31

I couldn't find the place to upload the cover letter either. At that time, I didn't pay attention and just clicked submit after uploading it. Only then did I realize that I didn't upload the cover letter, but I still submitted it for review.

lucahigh 2022-05-27

Because now the impact factors of various journals in materials, energy, catalysis, and nanotechnology are artificially high, even 8 points something is not enough to read. It feels like these fields are hyped up by Chinese people, and it seems that even foreign countries have a large number of Chinese professors working in these areas. With a population of 1.4 billion, they contribute to your citation rate, you know...

Sciencer 2021 2022-04-24

Don't understand, just want to ask: Why is the impact factor of this journal continuously increasing, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) ranking is getting worse? Even the top ranking is going to be canceled, why?

AlenFang 2022-04-18

This is also fine, at least not dragging on.

夏迎春 2022-04-14

Directly switch teams, GG.

AlenFang 2022-04-14

The speed of reviewing this publication is quite fast.

夏迎春 2022-04-14

It has been two days since the upload, but it is still in the submission status. Sigh.

2022.3.7 Submission
2022.3.22 Returned with minor revisions, two reviewers
2022.4.1 Resubmission after minor revisions
2022.4.5 Accepted
So fast

土草莓 2022-04-02

The reviewer is very professional and highly efficient. They have high requirements for innovation and expect a thorough and systematic discussion. The main evaluation criteria include importance (which will be scored in percentage, such as top 20%) and conciseness (related to language and article length).

wlsssssa 2022-03-25

Whether the submission follows a template or not doesn't really matter. The key is that your article is good enough. If you feel like it's missing something, then you can use Angew's template.

wlsssssa 2022-03-25

In short, it was fast. Both of my article submissions to Angew were rejected, so I went back to the recommended journal ChemSusChem. Both articles received review comments within three weeks, were revised within a month, and accepted within 5 days (one of them was accepted immediately). A week later, the proofreading was done, and the official version was published 5 days after that. Although the impact factor is not high and the ranking has decreased, our advisor still appreciates this journal, saying that it has better reputation than Cej and ACB, although its influence may be slightly lower. I believe that with further development, it will definitely return to the top ranking within 3 years.

The review speed is very fast, great! Looking forward to the journal getting better and better.

The reviewers and editors work very quickly, it is an excellent journal! Thank you, Dr. Halgard Staesche, for your editing.

Missy z 2022-01-29

Where is the upload interface for the cover letter? There is no "cover letter" option in the file upload section, only 1. Response to reviewers, if applicable; 2. Additional Material - Author; 3. CIF; 4. Manuscript; 5. Supporting Information. Can you please let me know where to upload it? Is it in the "Additional Material - Author" section? Or should I paste the content of the cover letter in the comments?

Another top journal destroyed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences... In the field of green chemistry and clean energy, it is globally recognized as a top journal. Compared to other energy journals, there are relatively fewer articles from Chinese authors, making it more difficult to get published (just by looking at the scarce comments, you can tell). There are many early benchmark papers from renowned international groups. Several benchmark articles on electrolysis of water and synthesis of ammonia were first published in ChemSusChem. Recently, two articles from our team in the field of water treatment materials were rejected after being submitted to ChemSusChem and then resubmitted to other journals, and it feels like the difficulty is slightly higher than that of ES&T.

However, this well-established journal is ranked as non-top + tier 2 when it falls into the hands of the Chinese Academy of Sciences? And the Chinese spam journal, Applied Surface Science, is actually ranked as tier 1 by the Chinese Academy of Sciences?

Do the people in charge of the ranking at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have any shame in the past two years?
