The editor is very responsible and sent it to four reviewers. It took about a month to receive their comments. After the first revision, three reviewers agreed to accept it. After the second revision, the only reviewer who rejected it insisted on rejecting it. The editor allowed for resubmission after modification, and it should be directly returned to the reviewer who previously rejected it. It was very fast, and the reviewers were convinced. It was accepted in 7 days. Currently, it is still under review at the school. The journal's review process is very fast, and the editor is also good. Finally, it has returned to the first quartile in crystallography, which shows the journal's position in the field of crystallography. However, it is lagging behind in other areas.

In peer review, one month is not considered long, so try not to rush it unless it exceeds two months. Based on experience, it usually takes about one month or so, so there is no need to be anxious. Additionally, specific article status can be found in the "Instructions and Forms" section located in the top right corner. In the submission page, you will only see "Under review" or "xxx revision" statuses like these.

The system has a bug, displaying "under review" actually means that it has been submitted for review. Both of my articles are like this.

Hello boss, my status has been "under review" since the day of submission. Will it change to "in peer review" during the review process? It has been half a month since I submitted on March 9th. Is it necessary to remind the editor?

OneRzzZ 2023-03-22

Good luck, I also have an article under consideration, so I came to ask.

2023-03-01: A major revise and a minor revise, both easily answered, no need for additional experiments.
2023-03-04: submitted revised Manuscript and Supplementary Information (SI).
2023-03-14: Second review comments, revise formatting.
2023-03-15: submitted revised Manuscript and SI, promptly received preliminary acceptance.

No... After the second review, it was temporarily accepted, and then they asked for a formatting change. The format was returned as R3 (summary). There has been no further communication in between. On the afternoon of 3-1, there was a decision letter from the Editor in Chief... The overall similarity is around 30+, and the highest similarity in a single article is about 7, which is from one of my previous articles in Langmuir...? All sentence structures that are similar are highlighted in red... The appeal was unsuccessful and the Editor in Chief forwarded the response letter to the ACS Editor in Chief... The manuscript has been transferred to PCCP for further review. Good luck!

Is plagiarism check conducted when submitting to journals? Will it be checked again after pre-acceptance to formal acceptance?

小奕在努力 2023-03-04

Received temporary iThenticate report with a similarity score of 43, and it was rejected. This system is terrible, all the accumulated sentence structures are highlighted in red... I don't have enough money to revise and resubmit.

Really upgraded to Zone 1.
In the upgraded version of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' zoning table released on December 22, 2022, Crystal Growth & Design and IUCRJ are classified as Zone 1 journals in the field of crystallography.

最强大脑中国好声音 2022-11-16

Crystallography's top journal, it's not acceptable to be downgraded to the second tier. I hope it can return to the first tier soon. The quality of this journal has always been good, I don't understand why it's in the second tier.

This amazing journal is no longer top-ranked. Unbelievable.

Submitted in November 2020, accepted on March 31, 2021, with two revisions during the process. The first revision involved three reviewers: two minor revisions and one rejection. The second revision was rejected by the same reviewer who rejected it previously, while the fourth reviewer requested minor revisions. Finally, it was accepted. Thanks to Editor Cao Rong for the fast handling speed. Hope the journal continues to improve.

Crystal WT 2021-01-29

Submitted an article at the end of November 2020, and the review process was very fast, taking about a month. The reviewers were quite professional, and after receiving their feedback, the article was successfully accepted.
