If it drops to 8.4, it is estimated that it will continue to decline further.

Two reviewers, one scored 10 and accepted with minor revisions, while the other scored 8 and suggested transferring to JMCC...

Catalysis in the direction of heterogeneous phase for uniform catalysis. No leading author, non-double first-class institution. Rejected by Angew JACS before submitting to CS.
March 22, 2022: First submission.
April 4, 2022: Under review.
July 5, 2022: Received feedback with one rejection, one acceptance, and one major revision. Scores were 6/10/6. Editor suggested resubmitting after major revision. The reviewer's feedback for the major revision was very professional and significantly improved the quality of the paper.
December 7, 2022: Resubmission.
December 19, 2022: Under review.
January 23, 2023: Major revision sent to the original reviewer for major revision and the reviewer who rejected the paper. The rejected reviewer was convinced to accept the paper after supplementing with additional data. Four minor issues were raised by the reviewer who requested a major revision.
February 6, 2023: Revised manuscript returned.
February 24, 2023: Under review.
March 7, 2023: Accepted, only sent to the reviewer who requested the first major revision.
After a year of twists and turns, the paper was finally accepted. Apart from occasionally slow review processes, everything else went well. The reviewers and editors were also very diligent. Hope CS will continue to improve.

@chen1205 Maybe I am lucky.

zzyh307 2023-02-09

2023.02.09 Three reviewers, two accepted directly, one minor revision. The editor provided the minor revision.

2022.07.18 Submission
2022.09.07 Rejection and Resubmission
2022.10.14 Submission
2022.11.04 Rejection and Resubmission
2022.12.19 Submission
2022.12.23 Acceptance

The first submission was relatively slow, taking about two weeks for review; the second and third submissions were faster. Getting rejected and then resubmitting twice in a row made me feel like my mindset exploded. It felt like CS (Computer Science) likes to treat rejection and resubmission as major revisions. Finally, I want to thank editor Luis Campos (and my co-authors)! This is my first completed CS article, and I hope CS keeps getting better!

May I ask how long it takes for the initial assessment to be sent to the editor, and how long it takes for it to be reviewed?

gaododo 2022-12-10

I submitted an article in 2020, but the process was very slow, and it was ultimately rejected, which left a long-lasting impact on me.
In 2022, I submitted three articles, and the first two were accepted. The third article is currently under revision.

姒昃 2022-12-08

After one day of submission, it was assigned to the editor. It has been in the editor's hands for 8 days, and I don't know what the situation is.

2022.10.13 Submission,
2022.11.1 Review submission,
2022.12.4 Rejection (minor revision, major revision, rejected by the editor)

I mean, I didn't even want to submit it in the first place. Why waste my time with the review process? Plus, you didn't even consider the reviewer's opinions, so why bother having them review it? And there wasn't even a reason given for the rejection. It's like they don't care about delaying someone's graduation.

小白就是我 2022-11-21

I would like to share my submission experience with a calm and objective mindset.

1. Submitted on 11.1, received with editor on 11.18 (Really slow, without consideration for holidays. The editor took 18 days to process it.)
On 11.21, I received an email stating that it did not meet the requirements of the journal and suggested submitting to RSC Advances (Haha).

I would like to express my personal feelings on this issue: It is an undeniable fact that RSC has declined in recent years. Other journals like Wiley and ACS usually provide results within a week. With such a slow handling speed for manuscripts, who would want to submit a second time? Moreover, reputable journals usually keep good sources of manuscripts and try to submit them to similar-level journals. But you directly suggested transferring to RSC Advances? It's no wonder that CS has declined in recent years.

小白就是我 2022-11-18

18 days genius allocation editor... Only you, CS, have the conscience to send it for review, otherwise I will definitely blacklist you!!!!

小白就是我 2022-11-18

My initial assessment has been 18 days now.

bigjar 2022-11-13

It has been 11 days since submission, and I have been in communication with the editor all along. I feel that there is little chance of success.

小白就是我 2022-11-10

The submission on the 11th of January, the review process of this journal is so slow! It has been 10 days and it's still only in the initial assessment stage. No wonder the Impact Factor (IF) never reaches 10! It's not a reputable journal; who would want to submit their work to it!

Steven96230 2022-10-05

It has been exactly one month since the submission, and there is still no news. I'm getting a little anxious. How long does it usually take for the pros here to review?

2022-09-24

Waiting, submitting to Angewandte and JACS for review and being rejected, transferring to ChemSci, giving up.

薛定谔猫 2022-09-19

ACS Cata quality is much higher than CS. How much alcohol have you been drinking?! Anyone involved in chemistry knows that CAS Cata is much stronger than ACS Cata. Only those who are not competent in CS would consider submitting to ACS Cata. Because catalysis is quite trendy, the impact factor of ACS Cata is artificially high, even though its actual level is only half as good!

Steven96230 2022-09-11

It has been 7 days since the article submission. How long does it usually take to know whether it will be reviewed or not?

MWD 2022-08-28

The original poster is lucky. I received two positive evaluations and one negative evaluation, with the first person giving a score of 9 and the second person giving a score of 8. The overall feedback was good. However, the third person gave a score of 3 and there seemed to be some bias in their comments, as they were not constructive. As a result, my submission was directly rejected by the editor. During the process, I sent a reminder once, and it took a total of two months. I am not sure if the direct rejection is related to the reminder I sent.

薛定谔猫 2022-08-27

Stop talking nonsense. If you can't have the grapes, then you say they're sour. How many good journals have friendly authors? If they are friendly, won't there be a bunch of low-quality results published? Don't compare specialized journals like Green Chem and JMCA with comprehensive journals like CS. Why don't you mention that Science Bulletin's impact factor has exceeded 20? Why don't you go submit your work there?

Submitted in mid-April, the ID was given approximately five or six days later, and an editor was assigned. About three weeks later, the reviewer's comments were received, with one reviewer giving a score of 6 and the other giving a score of 7. They provided around ten questions in total, which were deep and insightful. The overall evaluation was good, emphasizing the novelty of the viewpoints. It took about a month to revise, with one reminder received during the process, and then it was resubmitted. After about three weeks, it was accepted, and both reviewers were satisfied. It felt like the revisions made according to the reviewers' suggestions had indeed improved the paper. Two weeks later, it was published online, followed by the assignment of page numbers two weeks later. From submission to acceptance, the process took three months. As a first-time communication author without a well-known team or background, everyone can confidently and bravely submit their work. Both the editor and reviewers are highly concerned with novelty; only innovative ideas can be submitted, and only new reviewers can provide opportunities for revisions. A friend submitted a computer science paper and also received full affirmation, but it was rejected because the methods were not new enough, which felt regrettable. As the impact factor approaches 10, we hope everyone will submit and cite more, casting aside biases and increasing the chances of acceptance.

冷面男 2022-07-12

What's the deal with impact factors? They just won't increase... Take a look at domestic journals, they are all skyrocketing.

大凡哥哥 2022-07-09

Wow, the original poster submitted the science article for review and it received two positive reviews and one negative review. This indicates that the article is highly innovative. I understand that other articles may not undergo review, it's all a matter of luck. However, in the end, when the fourth reviewer suggested transferring the article, the editor accepted it, which means the editor recognizes your work.

萧十一de郎 2022-07-04

It feels much slower than cc.

tujiad 2022-06-29

When CS breaks 10, jacs and angew may break 20, haha.
