I would like to ask, as a non-corresponding author, how can one check the status of the article? My supervisor submitted it, and so far I have only received two emails, and the website provided says there is no activity after registering.

Hello, may I ask how long it takes for you to submit the edited content after it has been assigned?

Will the rejected manuscript still be assigned an editor?

I wanted to submit my first article to this magazine, but it was rejected. The second one was my favorite project, and when I submitted it, I could clearly feel the editor's interest. So, despite receiving three reviewers' comments on my first submission (two major revisions and one rejection), the editor requested a second review, and both reviewers recommended major revisions.

I then began the process with five reviewers, receiving 43 comments for revisions and modifications. It was a mix of pain and joy. After two rounds of modifications, it was finally accepted. Overall, I feel very good about it. The questions asked by the reviewers were highly valuable and greatly helped improve the article.

I have to complain about this journal, I'm so angry...
It took a total of five days, and it was directly rejected without being reviewed. The editor-in-chief from Canada, who is in charge, does functional materials himself and said that the performance was not good enough to achieve "high impact." The material name in the rejection letter was even written incorrectly... speechless.
I just checked the weekly paper recommendations, and the same material published by this journal also has mediocre performance. It's really unfair. There is even an option for recommended editors when submitting, so be cautious when submitting as a small group. No matter how well you do, they won't even take a second look. I will permanently blacklist this journal.

In the first round of review, there were five reviewers, three minor revisions, one major revision, and one rejection (with negative comments). Now, it has been 25 days since the second round of review started, and there is still no news. It seems that the longer the time, the less likely it is to have a favorable outcome.

March 21, submitted
March 26, assigned co-editor, Prof. Chunhai FAN
April 23, first-round comments, 2 minor revisions and one accepted directly. The editor requested minor revisions, and the two reviewers requested modifications to the abstract and the introduction of the article.
April 30, revised according to the comments from the first round.
May 7, notified that the article is accepted directly.
The experience is that as long as the article is well-done, detailed, and data-rich, the reviewers can be very peaceful. I hope this journal will improve in the future. It feels like the difficulty of submitting to this journal has increased since the introduction of many sub-journals.

One week after submission, the associate editor replied via email rejecting the article, stating that it is not within the scope of the journal and suggested submitting it to Langmuir.

Posted on June 26th.
Assigned to editor on July 1st, Dr. Laura De Laporte.
First round of reviews on August 3rd, two major revisions and one rejection. However, both major revisions received top 20% evaluations, so the editor gave them an opportunity for revision.
Revised version submitted on August 24th.
Second round of reviews on September 24th, both major revisions accepted. The previously apparent rejection tone was softened, but the reviewer is someone who pays attention to details, which I admire. I made further modifications as requested and spent 24 RMB to purchase a one-week Grammarly membership for grammar correction.
Revised version submitted on September 26th.
Notification of acceptance sent on October 1st.
The process went smoothly, but please note that I filled in myself as the corresponding author in the system, and the email for the first round of reviews was also sent to me. However, from the second round of reviews to the acceptance email, they were sent to the corresponding author with the highest ranking in the article, which was the default. My supervisor checks the email every day, so there was no delay in between. Once again, I thank AMI journal for its efficient review process.

35 days for initial review, slightly longer. The feedback suggests minor revisions and grants two weeks for modification. After resubmission, acceptance notification will be given within 4 days. Now, I have obtained my doctorate, and this is my first article. I would like to thank Professor Sing Yian Chew for editing.

I voted on the 24th, and it has not been allocated yet.

Y先生 2021-09-29

Feeling that ACS AMI's external audit time is too long is not a good thing. Generally, 20 days is enough for minor repairs. If it takes more than a month, it is likely due to encountering unfavorable opinions.

小皇帝余同学 2021-09-29

Don't worry, this magazine is considered fast. I submitted it on June 26th, it was assigned to an editor on July 1st, and the first review feedback was received on August 4th. It was accepted after two major revisions and one rejection. The editor gave high praise for the revisions, both reviewers ranked it in the top 20%. It was revised on August 24th and the second review feedback was received on September 24th. There were no major issues at that point. It was revised again on September 29th, and now we are waiting for the final result.

小皇帝余同学 2021-09-29

It hasn't been a week yet, just wait a little longer, don't be impatient.

竹影清风 2021-09-29

Posted on September 23rd, so far no editor has been assigned. Why is it so slow? Has anyone submitted before?

wow~ 2021-09-28

Don't worry, if it goes slowly, the deputy editor will be given within 7 days. My article has been under review for 21 days and there is still no news. Good luck to us!

In the direction of photocatalytic hydrogen production, ACS AMI is really a bit slow. I submitted it on September 21st, and until today, the 27th, there is still no associate editor assigned. I am anxiously waiting. It's a job that I really like, and if I get it, I will fulfill my vow.
