Big brother, how do you play so well? Share some tips with me.

This is arbitration. I had rejected opinions for all three times. If the new opinions are easy to revise and have a positive tone, I will make major revisions. If the new opinions are not very positive, I will reject the submission.

I have been arbitrated three times, ACB. In the end, 2 out of 3 were rejected. It's not that pessimistic.

Do you have an email for me? I saw others saying that they will send you a letter regarding arbitration.

After more than 20 days of being under review, it changed to "Required Reviews Completed," and now it has been under review again for a week. I heard it has been arbitrated!

伟大 2021-03-17

Brother, just wanted to ask how to know if my article has been arbitrated. Can you share the status and time of each stage? My article has been under review for a month, and it has been one and a half months now.

子瓜cosmic 2021-03-16

It has been a week since the arbitration, and online it is said that the general mood regarding the arbitration has cooled down. Sigh.

Excuse me, may I ask if there will be another repair in between returning on October 10th and receiving it back on November 5th?

Who is your editor?

小叶子12345 2021-03-01

Translation: "3.1 Rejected manuscript. A total of 4 reviewers were invited, and 3 opinions were received. One suggested minor revisions, one suggested major revisions, and one rejected the manuscript. Finally, the editor decided to reject it. Good luck to you!"

2.22 Still the same, required reviews completed.

wangfangyuan 2021-02-18

What is your current situation now? Mine is still the same.

小叶子12345 2021-02-15

Today, 2.15, it is still "required reviews completed". I can only console myself that no news is good news.

wangfangyuan 2021-02-15

What is your current status now? My status for 2.6 is "required reviews completed", and the status for 2.8 is once again changed to "required reviews completed".

小叶子12345 2021-02-08

Submitted for review on the second day. The review process seems to be very fast. Then, the status changed to "required reviews completed" on 2.2, and again on 2.5. I am anxiously waiting, as other journals that changed to this status received results quickly. I am starting to feel a little uneasy, but I wish myself good luck!

longzu1984 2021-02-04

Let's communicate with each other and make progress together.

longzu1984 2021-02-04

The environment is still recognized for its est and wr. Acb is a bit weak, and I'm also thinking about how to break through est, sigh.

诗剑逍遥 2021-02-03

174楼主, you are so amazing! Four articles in one year! I admire and respect you, but also feel jealous! I hope you can give me some guidance so that I can be satisfied if I can publish one article. Additionally, could you please tell me the titles of the four articles you published about ACB? I would like to read and learn from them. Thank you!

诗剑逍遥 2021-02-03

169 OP, you're amazing! I envy and admire you, but also feel a bit jealous! Can you please tell me the titles of the 10 ACB articles you posted so that I can read and learn from them? I hope I can also contribute an article in the future!

longzu1984 2021-01-31

From January last year to January this year, a total of five papers were submitted to acb (all of which were rejected by est but resubmitted after revisions based on the feedback), and four were accepted. The review process for these papers was not long, and we could typically receive feedback within 3-5 weeks after the initial review. However, the overall difficulty seems to be increasing, both in terms of the number of reviewers and their expertise (based on the references they cite, there are increasingly more renowned experts acting as reviewers). The impact factor is increasing rapidly, but the recognition in the academic community is still lower than est and wr.

11.11 Submission
11.14 Editor Insik Nam refused to review, citing formatting issues and requesting more references to ACB's own literature.
11.19 Resubmission
12.02 Editor's review
12.24 Received reviewer comments, 5 reviewers, 1 major revision and 4 minor revisions, editor provided a 30-day deadline for response.
01.21 Submitted reviewer comments and revised manuscript
01.30 Manuscript accepted
Overall, ACB's handling speed of manuscripts has accelerated compared to previous years, with acceptance possible within two months if everything goes smoothly. However, ACB's difficulty has increased, as the research group had several submissions rejected last year without even being reviewed. ACB mostly accepts manuscripts on photocatalysis and electrocatalysis in the field of environmental energy, focusing on hot topics and having a preference for manuscripts with large amounts of characterization data. Therefore, it is advisable to include more content in the main text and place any additional data that cannot fit in the main text into the supplementary information. The journal has a high self-citation rate, which indirectly contributes to the improvement of the journal's impact factor.
I would like to thank editor G. L. Puma for their careful work and also express my gratitude to the reviewers for their recognition of my work.

Three reviewers provided minor revisions, all of whom are respected colleagues in China (I know them, but they don't know me). The processing speed was really fast. The article has been submitted to AM, ANGEW, ACS CATAL, AFM, and it has not been sent for review yet. The research focuses on electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction.

I have also encountered with the editor for nearly half a month, not knowing what the situation is. What was the final result for you?

PH 2021-01-15

I have submitted it for half a month already, and it is still with the editor. Have you ever encountered a similar situation? Can you please share some experiences? Thank you!
