I applied for AFM on 1.25 and transferred to Small on 1.30. It was sent for review on the same day. I received the first review comments on March 28. I decided to submit my paper because I saw comments about the fast review process. It seems that the efficiency of the reviewers plays a significant role. During the graduation season from January to May, the teachers might be busy with fund-related matters, so the review process might be slower.

May I ask when the author submitted the manuscript and how long is the first review period?

The editor is Emma Van Burns, very efficient. Three reviewers gave 15%, 15%, and 30% respectively, confirming the innovative points, focusing on answering detailed questions and grammar. Reviewer number 3 provided very professional review comments and also helped me with grammar, which is truly admirable.

Recently, it seems a bit slow. I submitted a review comment in March and it took a whole week to receive a response. However, after providing the response, there has been no news for ten days. It's the peak graduation season.

Same, me too, there hasn't been any change until now.

14th submission, 23rd still manuscript submitted, why is it taking so long lately? The first paper has almost received the reviewer's comments by this time.

4-25 minor revised
4-26 Returned for repair
4-26 Accepted, finally! Although the process was difficult and took three months, it was ultimately accepted.

I was rejected on the second day after submission and was advised to submit to a small or small structure.
On 3.14, I submitted to a small journal.
On 3.15, it was sent for review.
On 3.24, I received the first round of comments (2 minor revisions + 1 rejection). Additionally, an arbitration was invited, and the fourth reviewer suggested major revisions, with a total of over ten to twenty questions. The rejection did not provide any constructive suggestions and seemed to dismiss the material without much understanding of the method. Finally, I was given one month for major revisions.
On 4.18, I replied to the first round of comments and it was placed "Under Review" on the same day.
A week has passed, and now I am still waiting anxiously.

This is my first master's thesis. Please, please accept it! If it is accepted, I will come back to share my joy!

I submitted it on the 10th, and it only reached the editor on the 24th. Today, I saw that it is under review.

Everyone's condition has changed, it hasn't changed for 10 days.

Very nice journal. After my submission to NC was rejected, I resubmitted to Small. The editor, Emma Van Burns, was very nice, and all three reviewers were very professional. One major revision and two minor revisions were requested, with a 20-day deadline for revisions. After submitting the revisions, the editor accepted the paper directly the next day, without further review. I feel that the quality of articles in Small is still very high, similar to AFM and ACS Nano. Hopefully, the impact factor can continue to rise. Striving for a score of 20.

I have also been submitting for over a week, but it hasn't reached the editor yet.

打工小吴 卑微在线 2023-04-24

Wow, I'm so envious! Enjoying such good luck.

The same situation as the original poster.

I am too. I just submitted it a week ago, and it is still in the submitted status.

Hello, may I ask how long it takes for you to go online after proofing? It has been two weeks for me and I am still not online.

sandychj 2023-04-23

It has been almost a week since I submitted it, and it has been in the "manuscript submitted" status all this time. Why is it taking so long?

hengchunning 2023-04-23

OP, what's the current status of the article?

May I ask what is the current status of the original poster's submission?

Wangwant 2023-04-22

The feeling of not having submitted for review all this time is that the initial review did not pass, and after half a month, it was rejected.

有光 2023-04-21

Revised, production data submitted together.

有光 2023-04-21

The revised manuscript has been submitted on April 21.

OP, do you remember how long it takes from "submitted" to "under review"?

陌上鱼乐 2023-04-21

It has been over two weeks and there has been no change. Is the editor still not handling it?
