21-07-09 Reject and resubmit

21-11-22 Minor revisions

This is my second article for JAFC this year, and the review speed is really amazing! It's just that I've been procrastinating too much. JAFC is awesome!

P.S. In essence, the reject and resubmit status in JAFC is just a major revision, so don't worry too much when you see this. Just carefully revise according to the reviewer's comments and it will be fine!

有一点点小梦想 2021-11-23

This journal will not even be reviewed without a famous scholar's correspondence. The so-called high publication rate of Chinese researchers is just a result of their own circle culture. Ordinary universities will not submit articles, and the content will not be considered. The quality of articles in all first-tier journals in the food industry is actually similar, especially with the unique atmosphere of JAFC (ACS member). Those who are not convinced can try submitting an article and see, hahaha.

Are articles on agricultural engineering accepted, especially those related to computer science?

To click on "instruments & forms" in the upper right corner, the status will appear. If it is under review, the status is "in peer review".

Translated text: "Submitted, submitted on 18th October 2021, directly under review and then assigned to an editor. It is still under review, may I ask what does this mean? Does it mean it has been sent for review?"

In English, the text means that the document has been submitted for review on 18th October 2021 and is currently under review. The author is seeking clarification on whether this indicates that the document has been sent for review.

May I ask what happened to the original poster? I have been waiting for 20 days and I am still assigned as an Associate Editor.

The review speed is very fast, and the comments are also very good.
2021.07.23 Submitted;
2021.09.03 Review comments received, major revisions, but the comments are very good;
2021.09.23 Submitted for revision again.
2021.09.27 Minor revisions, pre-acceptance.
2021.10.24 Submitted for revision again.
2021.10.27 Accepted.
The long gap in between is purely because I procrastinated.

They all say that JAFC is fast, but it becomes slow when it comes to me. I am glad to have received it. I guess the reviewer took too long to review it.

JAFC is one of my favorite magazines.
The speed of reviewing is simply incredible.
Both articles were accepted within a month.
Everyone can give it a try~

shenchan2019 2021-07-31

Faster than the last review, the manuscript was reviewed twice, with each review taking about 15 days. It took an additional two months to revise and supplement the experiments. Overall, it was a very satisfactory submission!

Does anyone know what is considered an acceptable repetition rate for this magazine?

Derry 2021-04-30

May I ask if the original poster has any updates on the external audit?

Derry 2021-04-30

How long has it been, OP? Me too, I have been assigned as an editor all this time.

Derry 2021-04-30

Can I ask if the original poster has reviewed it externally?

吃饱了干闪闪 2021-04-29

The reason for rejection is really absurd. Last time they said that what I made was poisonous (I have a food permit, references, and the concentration is below the safety limit), but another article of mine has already been accepted. Before writing this article, I read many related articles in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (JAFC), and I believe my article level is definitely not worse than theirs. However, they said my transcriptomics need to be validated. I have already validated it, how can I validate it again? Should I do a gene knockout? The manuscript is 23 pages long, is the workload not enough? Even the ones with less work can be published, even the ones with superficial work can be published. The submission experience is not very good, I won't submit to this journal in the future. This is just my personal submission experience for reference, please don't criticize if you don't like it.

吃饱了干闪闪 2021-04-28

After this journal reached the hands of the editor, there has been no news. No movement or change in status.

吃饱了干闪闪 2021-04-28

I have been waiting for three days without any news. The situation hasn't changed, and I don't know what's going on.

LR0512 2021-03-27

JAF has a fast review speed, providing review comments in just about a month. They gave suggestions from five reviewers at once, which is absolutely insane. After major revisions, there were two consecutive minor revisions, each taking approximately two weeks. Fortunately, it was accepted smoothly. Overall, it feels pretty good and worth recommending. It is also in the first district.

Can I simply make the necessary modifications according to the reviewer's comments and resubmit? Do I need to reply to the reviewer's comments?

2020.12.16 Submission
2021.01.20 Major revision
2021.02.16 Revised and accepted on the same day

The editor's response speed was extremely fast, and they personally participated in the review process. The review comments were very meticulous and detailed, and after making the necessary revisions, the quality of the article improved significantly. Special thanks to Professor Peter Schieberle from the Technical University of Munich for his editing and reviewing work.

Yu Liangli used to be a professor in the Department of Food Science at the College of Agriculture and Biology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Later, she left and went to the United States, I think she is a Chinese-American.

I also recommended this associate editor. There were initially three reviewers, but due to a minor issue, the associate editor found another reviewer, making it a total of four reviewers, including the associate editor, so there were five reviewers in total. The associate editor was very responsible, and it took six months to finally accept the paper, but the publication was fast. I hope this is helpful for you.
