Excuse me, have you come back with your opinion now?

muzilv 2022-01-03

Excuse me, do you have any news about this?

597509989 2021-12-28

Posted on December 16th, there is still no news.

rodgood 2021-12-28

It has always been under consideration until the editor rejected it or the comments from the first review returned.

Howl's Moving Castle 2021-12-28

May I ask if there is any news about your manuscript?

Energy & Battery 2021-12-26

May I ask what are the submission statuses of AFM? What do they mean? This is my first submission.

ddddddddddddd 2021-12-21

It has been ten days and still no news? Did the editors take a vacation? Do we have to wait until after New Year's Day for the articles to come out?

A journal that I have always liked, continues to support!

Submitted on 9/21,
First review came back on 11/25, major revisions, editor gave 15 days,
Added a small experiment, revised and resubmitted on 12/8,
Accepted on 12/16~ Thanks to the reviewers and editors Marc Zastrow and Joern Ritterbusch.

This time it was slower than two years ago, last time the first review came back in 24 days, this time it took 64 days... During the 6th week, I couldn't resist and sent an email asking about the situation, the editor was very nice and said they were still waiting for comments, please be patient. From submission to receiving news, the status has always been under consideration.

So, no news is good news~ I wish AFM (the journal) will continue to improve.

ddddddddddddd 2021-12-17

Excuse me, may I ask which editor you are?

ddddddddddddd 2021-12-17

Brother, should we submit it for review? Is there any result yet?

Hired after two months, four reviewers raised very professional questions, and made many modifications before final acceptance.

Mokia-Lee 2021-12-15

Last update. After two revisions, there were still issues raised by the original reviewer 10 days later. After responding carefully, the revised manuscript was resubmitted on December 10, and today, an acceptance letter was received. It went through three revisions, which were exhausting, but the outcome turned out to be good. Finally, I wish all the experts a smooth submission process!

On the seventh day of submission, I hope to have a good outcome. ?

Kingdom123 2021-12-13

On the 18th day of submission, I don't know if it has been reviewed or not, feeling anxious.

童大大 2021-12-07

It has been a week since submission, and looking at the sharing from the experts above, if it hasn't been rejected within a week, there is a high probability of it being sent for review. Just recently, I got an EA published, bringing some good luck. Hopefully, I will get AFM published before the end of the year!

DAJIDALI 2021-12-02

Has your review comment come back?

nasir123 2021-12-01

I am very happy to share my experience with the entire research community here. The review process was very quick, the Editor was nice, and I received direct comments addressing my concerns.

Submitted on October 30, 2021.

Received initial review report on November 17, 2021.

A revised manuscript was submitted on November 25, 2021.

Accepted on November 29, 2021.

From submission to acceptance, the entire process took one month.

Mokia-Lee 2021-11-25

Continue updating, the revised comments of November 15 have returned. Reviewers 1 and 3 have no comments, but reviewer 2 has a few questions and explicitly states that the article cannot be published at this stage. The editor gives a deadline of 5 days for major revisions. The feedback is expected to be returned on November 19, but there is still no news. Hoping that reviewer 2 will give an opportunity.

We are in the field of mechanical manufacturing, and sometimes even submitting to IF5 journals can be met with harsh criticism from reviewers. Of course, it's difficult for articles in the manufacturing field to make it into such journals. We have always looked up to the AFM and AM series for their outstanding papers.

In 2020, during the pandemic, we had an inspired idea and, after a year of hard work with my junior colleague, we turned it into an article. I always felt that the topic was right (a universal problem, not a specific one in the mechanical field). The innovation was really good, and similar studies had even appeared in high-level journals like AM and AFM. It was very nerve-wracking, as our entire school rarely submits articles to these kinds of journals.

After careful consideration, we mustered up the courage to try, thinking that getting it reviewed would lead to success. We submitted it on September 24, 2021, and it remained under consideration. Based on the experiences of friends above, we counted the days and reached the 6th, 13th, and 20th day, confirming that it was under review.

On October 20, 2021, we received the feedback, and surprisingly, it was good. There were four reviewers with comments ranging from 5%, 15%, 10%, to 30%. There were over 50 comments, mostly asking for implementation details. The editor gave us only 10 days for major revisions.

On October 30, 2021, we submitted the revised version in a rush. We replied with sincerity and fear, afraid that our response would not satisfy the reviewers.

On November 23, 2021, it was directly accepted.

My impression is, if you have a good idea and can clearly explain the added value of your innovation, you must try these journals that were once considered impossible. They serve as a morale booster on the research path, and I hope we can explore even broader horizons together.

What happened later? How do you know if it has been reviewed or not?

shuaishuaiyu 2021-11-18

How do we know if it has been submitted for review?

金隅 2021-11-17

The editor has always been Ritterbusch, and I am filing a complaint by sending an email for review one day later.

Mokia-Lee 2021-11-10

Continuing from the last update: One month after submission on October 17, 2021, the review comments were received. One small and one major issue were mentioned, as well as a request for additional experiments, regardless of the size of the novel. The editor requested major revisions with a three-cycle deadline. Today, on November 10, 2021, the revised manuscript was resubmitted, and we are looking forward to a positive outcome!

Hani1020 2021-11-02

Thank you! Has it always been the responsibility of the chief editor, or did it get transferred to the chief editor after the appeal? How many days did it take for the appeal to be approved for review?
