Excuse me, has the original poster updated their status? Mine has also been "with editor" for two weeks.

JC 2022-05-04

It used to be quite fast, why is it so slow now? Before, the application would be rejected within two days after submission. But now, several days have passed and it is still being edited, neither submitted for review nor rejected. I don't know why there's such a delay.

火眼金睛看世界 2022-04-17

The annual publication volume is only 433, much smaller than ACS Catalysis, and the impact factor is so low. The majority of the articles are of inferior quality compared to domestic CJC journals.

火眼金睛看世界 2022-04-17

This magazine is not just declining, the articles are becoming more and more garbage, the research is getting less and less in-depth. It has indeed fallen to the level of a second-tier publication, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not wrong in criticizing this magazine. We can only hope that it won't be categorized as a third-tier publication. This magazine was once highly regarded by Chinese people, and it should be the Chinese people who bring it down.

I also started to submit my application to App Catalysis B. The editor-in-chief of Japan said that App Catalysis B is a high-level, high-impact factor journal and that my manuscript is not suitable *-* Instead, he suggested submitting to JC. The previous article I submitted to JC was still in the first zone, but due to the issue of the upgraded zoning of JC now, I dare not submit it. I submitted to another journal instead, but I don't know if it will be reclassified into the first zone in the future.

The journal I initially submitted to was Applied Catalysis B: Environmental. There were three reviewers, and one of them had some negative comments. The editor suggested that I revise the manuscript according to the reviewer's comments and resubmit it to the Journal of Catalysts. It took me almost a month to collect additional data and then it took around twenty days for re-review. After making minor revisions, I replied to the reviewer's comments four days later. The next day, the manuscript was accepted directly.

The text translates to: "Engaged in catalyst design in the field of industrial catalysis. Received the review comments 20 days after submitting the manuscript."

As a research dog who has transitioned from metal waste treatment to surface treatment, and then to the field of catalysis, JC has not yet made any contributions. However, judging from the average quality of the articles currently being read, the quality of ASS is much lower (I've read a few articles in this journal, and the level is just average). The readability of JC's articles is even better than that of ACB, and the average level of ACB articles feels unworthy of its impact factor. It may be because I am just a beginner and my level is relatively low.

I estimate that the comment section is mostly young people, with a heavy negative attitude. Unable to sleep, I came here to give my evaluation.

As for myself, I am in my forties, about to turn fifty, and have been in this field for over twenty years. I have published several articles in journals such as JACS, NC, JC, AM, ASS, Small, and so on. Indeed, JC has been on a decline in the past two years. The quality of some so-called new materials papers published in JC is increasingly unworthy. A few months ago, I even discussed with my former colleague whether this journal would be downgraded, and I didn't expect it to actually happen. However, the comment by angewwang downstairs is too extreme. Supporting JC may be because angewwang has published a paper in this journal, but the most taboo thing to do in any field is to blindly praise or criticize. ASS still holds authority in the field of membrane materials (although overall, I personally believe that it is in the upper range of the second quartile in this field). angewwang is probably still a student, not familiar with the situation. Let's calm down and focus on studying without negativity.

Lastly, I hope JC can return to the same level as NC in its prime! Of course, this cannot be achieved without everyone's efforts.

In recent years, JC has indeed been on a downhill trend. Firstly, in terms of editing, it feels like the level of dedication is not as good as before. I have had two articles published in it, and the rejection I received from the editor for one article two years ago was absurd. Later, I got accepted by a better journal and was recommended for the cover, but it didn't work out and I wasn't selected. However, regardless, the overall quality of articles in JC is still very high, at least much better than CJC. The Chinese Academy of Sciences' journal ranking does not prioritize journal quality and tends to favor domestic journals, which only harms scientific research in the long run.

angewwang 2022-01-18

The comments section is chaotic. According to some people's logic, it is difficult for Chinese people to vote = poor magazine = deserves to be in the second district??

Is the position of JC high? Yes. Is it on a downhill path? Yes. But even a starved camel is better than the level of those domestic magazines with a score of only ten or so. Take a look at the articles inside and compare them directly in similar fields, and you will know that JC still has a very high research depth.

Also, Applied Surface Science, a journal that publishes junk articles, has been listed in the first district of the Chinese Academy of Sciences this year. How can JC, no matter how poor it is, be worse than a journal like Applied Surface Science that can even pass and publish articles on "qi gong synthesis method" and "chanting synthesis material method"? Applied Surface Science published several articles last year on qi gong chanting synthesis materials and materials that can "suppress the novel coronavirus through space," which you can easily find on Zhihu by searching for the keywords. It's astonishing. Those who criticize JC and praise Applied Surface Science should calm down after reading those amazing articles before embarrassing themselves.

Applied Surface Science can publish articles on qigong and metaphysics and still be listed in the first district, and there are plenty of domestic papers with connections that are also listed in the first district. The Qing Dynasty has been gone for over a hundred years, but there are still people daring to say that JC doesn't deserve to be in the first district?

"Open your mouth and series comes. People who say such words have basically bid farewell to scientific research."

西交学者 2022-01-17

This journal has been filled with useless materials in recent years. Industry professionals have been frequently complaining about it in the past two years, so it's not surprising that it has been downgraded. The second-tier ranking means that the school no longer recognizes it.

放翁之泪 2022-01-06

Accepted on January 6, 2022. The editor made three revisions, too meticulous...

YYCC2019 2021-12-22

This is too outrageous. What level of journal is this? It actually got downgraded. It's purely an attempt to elevate the domestic journal CJC???

bepop 2021-12-22

Is this the lower district? CJC can be ranked in the first district but JC can only be ranked in the second district? I don't understand, but I am greatly shocked.

I would like to ask what field you are working in. Also, does "under review" to "receiving comments from reviewers" mean that it took three weeks? Thank you.

This journal is becoming worse and worse. It's almost been a month, and nobody has been handling it. No specific editor has been assigned. A few days ago, I reminded them through the system, and they said they are still in the initial evaluation stage. This speed is truly amazing!!!
