My situation is the same. Five days after submission, it was changed from Editor-in-Chief Chen Xiaodong to Molly Stevens. It has been 14 days now, and the status is still Associate Editor Assigned.

Has anyone ever experienced a situation where editors were changed? I feel so anxious.

How long does everyone take to review? It has been nearly two weeks for me and I still haven't received any updates.

Wolfgang J. Parak is indeed very friendly and responsible.

I only found out after half a month that the status can be viewed in the publishing center. At that time, it showed that it had been submitted for review, but I didn't know the specific date it was submitted.
Good luck~~

I am also this editor, it has been a week, and there hasn't been much change. How long did it take for yours to be reviewed? I hope there will be good results.

After the submission on November 3, 2021, an email notification was sent on the same day to assign Deputy Editor Nicholas Kotov. However, there has been no further communication. The submission system continues to display "under review," and the boss has not received any notification for review, so there is anxiety every day.

Today, I have browsed LetPub and Xiaomuchong for a long time and finally found a method to check whether the submission has been sent for review. So, I will summarize it for my colleagues, hoping to help everyone.

There are two systems:
1. Submission system: https://acsparagonplus.acs.org/. In this system, you can only see "under review" (I have been checking its status since I submitted, but I didn't know there was another system).
2. Publishing system: https://publish.acs.org/. In this system, you can see "In Peer Review" (but I didn't know until today when I saw it on Xiaomuchong. Thank you to the senior who shared it).

Lastly, I hope for a positive outcome and wish everyone a smooth journey in research.

Thank you, good luck! I finally know where to check the status...

奥德修斯 2021-11-18

In the system, you can see the status of "in peer review". In most cases, the editor will notify the review via email.

Zzcccc 2021-11-15

May I ask, can the author see the peer review in the submission system? I have been waiting for 2 weeks, and my supervisor only received the email from the assigned editor, but the status has remained as "under review" without any changes.

Wolfgang J Parak is a very friendly editor in ACS NANO nanomedicine. It is estimated that Warren Chan's submission will be directly rejected, but there is a high chance for resubmission.

好运来 2021-10-31

10.29 The review comments have returned from two reviewers. The first one has malicious intent and suggests rejecting the manuscript without providing any useful questions, such as insufficient detailed captions, insufficient detailed methodology, and not smooth enough wording. The second reviewer provided minor revisions and almost no comments. The editor gave a 180-day resubmission rejection. I don't know if there is a good chance in this situation. I'm seeking advice from experts. I searched online and asked classmates, and everyone said there is a good chance.

8.29 Submission, delivered to the editor-in-chief on the same day, waiting for the assignment of associate editor.
8.30 Assigned associate editor, Wolfgang J Parak.
8.31 Sent for external review.
10.26 Still no news, why is mine so slow? It felt like the review process was quite fast before.

飞翔小猪 2021-10-16

I am also this editor, Nicholas Kotov. He is a great talent. It has been 5 days and it hasn't been reviewed yet. Have you been waiting for a long time too? Will there be an email notification when it is reviewed?

奥德修斯 2021-10-13

Received first-instance opinions on 2021.10.10: 1 major revision, 1 minor revision. The editor suggested a major revision.
Although it was referred to as a major revision, the two reviewers mainly pointed out formatting issues.
After 4 days, the revisions were made. Looking forward to a good outcome!

Submitted on April 20, 2021, reviewed after five days;
Received revision requirements on May 15, 2021, with two minor revisions, one major revision, and one rejection. The reviewers were extremely meticulous and professional, providing seventy to eighty suggestions.
Returned on July 31, 2021, conducted experiments for an additional two and a half months, and wrote a nearly forty thousand-word response letter. The experiments addressed all the reviewers' concerns. The rejection was due to language issues, so it was sent back for language revision (although there were no significant language problems, the reviewers disliked emotionally-charged words).
Received revision requirements again on August 26, 2021, with two reviewers agreeing, the major revision reviewer providing another major revision, and a request from the rejection reviewer to delete a few words. Additionally, a new reviewer was assigned for minor revisions.
Returned on September 15, 2021, and the next day, the editor submitted it for review.
Accepted for pre-publication on September 18, 2021, formatting was adjusted, and it was officially accepted three days later.

The experience feels like ACS people are on vacation... It took two whole months to receive any news. Cried.

The result was given in 5 days, and it was transferred to the Journal of Physical Chemistry (it is not specified which journal from ABC). Honestly, I haven't paid attention to JPC, but when I looked closely at the Impact Factor, I was amazed...
