Hello, how are you doing now?

不知先生 2022-07-08

It has been a month with the editor. Is it because it is difficult to find reviewers? Can this situation be expedited?

The JML impact factor and submission difficulty have been increasing year by year. A few years ago, it was relatively easy to get accepted when the impact factor was low. However, now the requirements for manuscript quality have become much higher, making it more difficult to get accepted.

Hello, the manuscript can be submitted in Word version? Is it normal that the manuscript on the left side of the PDF generated during the final submission does not have a number?

How is your situation now? My article has also been with the editor for almost a month.

Submitted on December 10th for molecular dynamics simulation.
Received an email on January 12th with two reviewers requesting major revisions.
Revised and resubmitted on March 11th.
Received an email on April 12th stating that one reviewer agrees to accept the paper, but the other reviewer says the revisions were not sufficient and had several issues that did not meet their requirements, requesting another round of major revisions.
Revised and resubmitted on April 20th.
Received an email on April 27th stating that it seems a different reviewer took over and mentioned that the previous reviewer did not mean what was stated regarding the xx issue, and that I should make changes to xxx.
Revised and resubmitted on April 29th.
Accepted on May 4th.

I feel that the editor, Yamaguchi, is still very dedicated. However, it is rare for a Tier 2 journal to require two rounds of major revisions. Some journals may reject a paper if major revisions are requested after the first round.

The review process is quite fast. I submitted twice and almost received the first review in about a month for both. One reviewer requested major revisions, while another said the paper did not align with the theme. The editor rejected it, as the journal has high requirements.

The status change "under review" indicates that there may be cases where the reviewer abandoned the review or the reviewer's opinions were conflicting. The editor has added additional reviewers.

I submitted my work on April 5th, and it was under review on April 10th. Since April 26th, the status has remained under review, but the date keeps changing. Does this mean that it's not going well?

西西嘻嘻嘻aaa 2022-05-01

Hello, may I ask if the time of "under review" has changed when you submitted? My status has been "under review" all along, but the date is changing almost every day now. It was showing "under review" since April 10th.

Hello, I would like to ask, how long did it take for your application to be reviewed and returned? My application has been under review the whole time, but the dates keep changing. Does that mean it's not going well?

Taqiangrentaqiang 2022-04-28

Recently, I have received two papers. The review process was moderately fast, and the submission difficulty was between Langmuir and Colloids and Surfaces A. The impact factor is considered relatively high in the field of physical chemistry.

It has been almost a month, and it has not been reviewed yet. I'm getting anxious.

Yazhou Qin 2022-04-10

Submit for review one week later, and receive only one comment stating that the research is not thorough enough, resulting in rejection. It feels like the editor's own opinion, as they did not respond to the email inquiry. I have no intention of submitting again.

How many reviewers are there usually?

When the manuscript was returned for revisions, the editor requested a modification of the character count for the highlights section. It was the first time encountering such strict requirements from a journal. After making the revisions and resubmitting on the same day, it went under review the next day. The editor's name appears to be Japanese, and they are very responsible and efficient. It is a good journal.

Write the reviewer's name directly in the cover letter, email.

2021.9.19 under review
2021.10.12 Last change of under review date
2021.11.22 reject without review
The reason is, unable to find reviewers... It has been delayed for two months, the first time encountering such a situation, it's really frustrating.

Hello, how should we handle two corresponding authors? Should they be added after acceptance or should they be indicated in the document?

There should be at least three, but I wrote five. You can take a look at the author's guide.

Mr. Zhang 2021-09-07

In English, the text translates to: "Excuse me, should I also list three reviewers in the cover letter?"

唯青 2021-09-01

What is the situation when "under review" is displayed a few hours after the required reviews have been completed?

jiejing 2021-08-25

Guys, remember to include the recommended reviewer in the cover letter, otherwise it will be a waste of time if it gets returned. Submitted to the journal took longer than expected, the first time took 4 days, and the return took 2 days.

Hello, the editor I encountered is Professor Yamaguchi, who specializes in "molecular liquids." The editor suggested that I seek assistance from relevant institutions or native speakers to extensively revise the language; otherwise, there is a high possibility of rejection...

Could I please ask you some questions regarding the revision process? I beg for your help!

About three months later, after a minor revision, four reference articles need to be added for the first trial. After adding them as required, it was still submitted for review.
