I want to ask, when writing an article, if I don't use the APL template, do I have to change it to APL format after finishing the submission? If I don't make the change, will it be rejected?

As the first paper of my graduate studies, APL has provided me with a very good submission experience: the editors are efficient, the reviewers are conscientious and responsible, and the status of the manuscript is transparent and detailed.

The first round of review took 20 days to receive the revision comments, and the revised version was accepted on the same day. It can be considered a good start. Let's keep up the good work!

Although there is some slight regret in my heart for transferring from a journal with an Impact Factor higher than 10, after all, APL is an established and influential journal in the field of physics, and its status is indisputable.

There are currently 400 articles published by EDL of the same type, and TED has published 800 articles.

Rejected after review, After examining your submission, we regret to inform you that your manuscript does not meet the standards for publication in Applied Physics Letters. This decision is not a comment on the technical quality of your work.
Today, I saw a new article in a very similar field, which was accepted without revisions just because of the so-called "big name". Is the editor Wenqing Zhang only accepting acquaintances?

The official website requirement is within 3000 words for the main text with illustrations. It is said that exceeding the word limit will result in direct rejection.

My first submission was rejected very quickly, and I submitted the second one again. Then, the next day, it was sent for review. The efficiency of this editor is really fast.

The speed is relatively fast. The questions asked by the two contributors were quite professional, and after modifications, they were accepted.

After about a month of review comments, the two reviewers gave a total of one "No," which counted as minor revisions. After about a week of modification, the paper was accepted, taking a total of about forty days, which is quite fast. APL has always been a physics journal that I admire. Being able to publish in it is a big affirmation of my research ideas. I wish the journal continued success.

ANQILIKE 2021-12-29

First draft was submitted on November 11th, and on December 19th, the first reviewer notified about the review result. During this period, the first four reviewers approached all declined to review. Frustrating. Two reviewers were finally found, one had no major comments and suggested acceptance, while the other raised two questions and requested additional experiments and modifications to the introduction. One month was given to make the revisions, which was considered a major revision. After working overtime for a week, the revised version was submitted. It is currently under review.

I wonder how long it will take to receive the results after submitting the revised manuscript? Will it be sent to the same two reviewers again? I hope they won't continue to provide more comments, haha.

Submitted on May 30th, reviewed on July 1st, second review on August 1st, revised on August 4th, and accepted on August 5th.

The refresh of the journal's status is very comfortable. You can directly see the refresh process of the status in the email link. I got a paper accepted in APL on my first submission. It is a well-established physics journal, but its impact factor has always been not very good. It is quite disadvantageous to look at the JCR partition. The difficulty of review is equivalent to a journal in the 1st zone of JCR. The reviewers have many and detailed questions.

renzhek 2021-11-30

The review comments are returned approximately one month after submission, and after major revisions are accepted, the whole process takes two months. The efficiency is very high.

May I ask where to submit the revised article and the review comments? Is it through the "Send Manuscript Correspondence" in the system, or should I send an email with the attachment? Thank you.

Hello, may I ask where should I submit the revised article and the review comments? Is it through the "Send Manuscript Correspondence" option within the system? Or should I send an email with attachments? Thank you.

凡鸟 2021-11-12

After submission, one of the reviewers returned their comments on the same day. Does this mean it is very likely to be rejected?

Could you please clarify your question? It seems that the translation you provided is already in English.

The journal efficiency is very high!

大笑笑 2021-10-18

Classmate, is the word count requirement for this assignment really strict? I saw on the official website that they reject anything over 3000 words.

大笑笑 2021-10-18

Classmate, is the word count requirement for this assignment very strict? I saw on the official website that anything over 3000 words would be rejected, but many of the published ones are over 4000 words.

Trifles 2021-10-07

As long as you find the reviewers, the speed is extremely fast. APL has quite high requirements and often results in desk rejection. After receiving a pile of comments from the reviewers, it is faster to conduct additional experiments and write another paper.

The first submission was a long process, going through a major revision and a minor revision. I feel that the issues were very accurate, and I felt a sense of achievement after it was accepted. It feels like moving up to a higher level this year, like a classic and well-established physics journal. I hope to manage it well and make it even better!

老法师 2021-06-11

First-instance trial takes 20 days, second-instance trial takes 2 days to accept. It must be said that APL's efficiency is indeed high, and the suggestions put forward have greatly helped the article.

looker88 2021-04-26

The current annual publication volume of APL is 2000 articles, which was 5000 articles ten years ago. Currently, it is particularly difficult. Saying that the quality of APL has declined, I don't know where you obtained this conclusion from.
