May I ask, what is your submission number, OP? I plan to submit to this journal and give it a try. I noticed that the review process is often very lengthy. Is it because of the large number of submissions?

ppsq 2021-07-28

May I ask which editor it is? I have already submitted my contribution for ten days, but it hasn't been reviewed yet.

May I ask how long it usually takes from submission to acceptance? I submitted on the 6th, and the current status is "with editor."

第九次去北京 2021-07-10

Still very fast, thanks to the Greek editor, who made a lot of experiments, three out of four reviewers were positive, one Korean rejected it, but not completely, and provided many meaningful suggestions, enriching the article. Acceptance within one week after revision.

I have also been in the "required review completed" state since June 17th, and it has been maintained until now.

鸡涌 2021-07-06

May I ask how your paper is doing? My status with the editor has not changed as of June 18th, 2021.

科学怪人乀群爷 2021-07-02

Confirmed, but still can't see it. Very strange.

If you receive an email asking you to confirm information and you click on confirm, you will be able to see it. The system can display the corresponding author and other authors.

How can we check the status of an article on ACB, apart from the corresponding author's account? Does anyone know? (Other authors' email accounts cannot view the status of the article)

Later on, I was hired, and the whole process took about three months, which is considered relatively slow.

Hello, did you mention the previous submission number in the cover letter when you resubmitted?

May I ask what happened to your article later? How long after "Required Reviews Completed" did you receive any updates?

I only know two reviewers, both industry experts in China, and the journal is not very selective. They raised very detailed questions, indicating that the research must have been done meticulously and at a high level. This is my first SCI paper, and it exposed various issues. Thank you to the experts for their careful revisions. Lastly, I would like to thank Editor W. E. Mustain for his trust and I hope ACBE continues to improve.

Rejected in 3 days?

minmin1016 2021-05-18

How do I view editors and reviewers? It has been 5 days since I submitted my manuscript, but there has been no response. I am anxiously waiting.

minmin1016 2021-05-18

How are you doing now?

monicaylqq 2021-05-15

To update you, I found out today that my submission was rejected. It took 25 days for the review process to complete, and it has been 3 days since it was reviewed. I haven't seen the reason for the rejection yet. I hope to learn from this experience and make improvements. I will submit it elsewhere.

acs chemistry 2021-04-21

If the ordinary reviewers do not respond within a month, will the editor send an email to remind them? Our teacher received a letter from the editor urging for the review comments when it was almost a month.

勋范 2021-04-20

It has been two months since submission, and it has always been "with editor". I want to know if it is not showing as "under review" now, or if it really hasn't been sent for review.
