Mr. 2023-08-07

This editor processed the manuscript very quickly. My manuscript was sent for review on the same day.

May I ask about Ashwin's editing? I have sent the article to him.

Just use Word. If the content is okay, I will let you edit it and then change the format.

Hello, may I ask if the document you submitted is in Word or LaTeX? Do you have a template? The template I downloaded seems to have some issues. Thank you. 28483736122qq.com

May I ask, do I need to pay for publishing an article in this journal?

小郭啊 2023-03-27

After 3.6, a deputy editor was assigned the day after submission, but until now, the status is still "Associate Editor Assigned" (ACS Publishing Center). It has been twenty days already. Is it still not under review or has it been reviewed but the status hasn't been updated? Has anyone encountered this situation before?

May I ask what format your manuscript is uploaded in?

少年2019 2023-02-08

As one of the three classic journals in the field of chemical engineering, I am willing to give it a try. I have been working in the field of chemical engineering, and similar articles have been published in this journal before. However, the direction of this journal has now changed. After two weeks, I decided to transfer my submission to ACS Omega. After balancing the cost-effectiveness, I felt that it was not high, and I felt that it might be accepted in the second-tier journal. I decisively rejected the transfer and submitted it to JMR&T. It has been accepted and the publication fee is nearly halved, and it has also been upgraded to a top journal in the first-tier. Therefore, once I have determined something, I must have confidence and persistence.

2022.9.30 Submission
2022.10.03 Assigned to editor, Krista S. Walton
2022.10.08 Under peer review
2022.11.16 Received revision comments. One minor revision, two major revisions. The third reviewer's questions were professional, detailed, and rigorous. Their comments and viewpoints filled two whole pages and they mentioned that the paper may be more suitable for a journal in a different field rather than IECR.
2022.12.02 Responded with a reply of over thirty pages.
2022.12.30 Received second revision comments. Reviewer 3 expressed satisfaction with the first-round discussion but still had higher expectations and wrote another full page of comments.
2023.1.05 Responded to second revision comments.
2023.1.26 Received editor's Final revision email, making some formatting modifications. Reviewer 3 was very satisfied with my revisions but still provided their additional thoughts. Fortunately, the editor believed no further revisions were needed.
2023.1.27 Accepted.
Reviewer 3 was rigorous and had high demands, always returning their comments at the last moment. The submission process can be described as quite challenging, and at one point, I even thought it might be rejected. During the waiting process, I searched through numerous experiences shared online about manuscript submission, and now it has finally been accepted.

2022.11.2 Submission
2022.11.21 Revisions, 2 minor revisions, 1 rejection (questioning novelty), editor provided minor revisions
2022.12.15 Revised
2022.12.20 Second round of revisions, person who rejected asked 2 more innovative questions, editor provided minor revisions again
2022.12.30 Revised, responded seriously to nearly 30 pages
2023.1.2 Accepted.
Overall, the process was fast, the editor was good. It is necessary to take the questions raised by reviewers seriously! Although it is a Tier 3 journal, it is still one of the top three journals in the field of chemical engineering.

I used to submit a lot before, but I won't submit anymore in the future. After all, the impact factor drops quickly. Now it's already in the third quartile. I have shifted my focus to React Chem Eng, which recently moved up to the second quartile. I submit rejected articles from Chem Commun and Green Chem to RCE if the review comments are still acceptable. The most recent record was a work that was rejected by Green Chem and submitted to RCE after careful revisions according to the review comments. It took less than a month from submission to online publication.

The article submitted to a first-tier journal of ACS was rejected after review. It was then revised according to the experts' opinions and submitted to IECR (with no changes to the template, just for convenience). However, it was directly rejected by an editor in China without being reviewed. It was then submitted to React Chemistry & Engineering and was quickly accepted. Currently, RCE is a second-tier journal. It has surpassed IECR, and its impact factor is also high. Haha. Some editors in China are like that, they hold on to their own biases and use trivial matters as excuses.

Classmate, may I ask if your I&EC has been proofed? I also received it on December 15th, and around last Friday, the publisher said there was a mistake in the signed copyright agreement and requested a re-signing. After I uploaded it, I still haven't received any updates.

放你们撒大家 2022-12-18

It is still quite strict. After the repair, one reviewer deemed it suitable for publication, while another reviewer insisted that there was insufficient innovation and consequently rejected the submission.

The submission process of this article has been quite difficult and tragic. It was sent to a top journal but was rejected due to negative feedback.
It has been quite a journey, and as it progressed, the innovation was compromised, resulting in high time costs.
Overall, the submission process for IECR went relatively smoothly. Three reviewers, two of them being professionals, made modifications to the article as per the requirements, making it more refined.
Thanks to Editor Chunzhong Li, the dean of the School of Chemical Engineering at HuaLi, and also thanks to the three reviewers.
Wishing IECR continued success and early surpassing of the influence of AIChE J.

You can check the specific progress by looking at the "Instruction & forms".

Luckyyu 2022-11-15

May I ask how you are doing now? Mine went under review as soon as I uploaded it. Is that normal?

Luckyyu 2022-11-15

Why does it go under review as soon as I submit it? Is it normal?

tt5211cc 2022-10-12

Excuse me, is there no "under review" status in your profile?

mkimn 2022-09-11

Hello, may I ask where should I upload the response to the reviewers after resubmitting the manuscript? I couldn't find the option for "detailed response to reviewers." Should I upload it in the cover letter or in the "other files for editors only" or "supporting information for review only" section?

Hello, may I ask where should I upload the reviewer's comments after a rejection and resubmission? I couldn't find the option for "Detailed Response to Reviewers." Should I upload it in the cover letter or in "Other files for Editors only" or "supporting information for review only"? Thank you!
