@HenryHu99 My manuscript has already been desk rejected, without being sent for review. Has yours been sent for review? I've heard that if it goes for review, there's a 50% chance of acceptance. It feels like the editors of the Nature sub-journal hold a lot of power, with 80% being rejected at the initial screening. Good luck to you.

Recently, I submitted a job application to Small NC. In the first two rounds, one reviewer provided negative feedback. After making changes for a total of four rounds, the manuscript was ultimately accepted. Overall, the reviewers seemed rigorous and meticulous, and the editors were objective and fair. The submission process lasted for 10 months, which was quite long, but it was worth it.

Bro, how should I put it? I also submitted a contribution in the field of optics, and from "manuscript under consideration" on June 14th, it has been stagnant until the 28th. I don't know if the manuscript was too poor and they forgot to reject it, or if they simply forgot about it.

Hello, may I ask what kind of raw data you uploaded? Is it completely unprocessed data?

dongsongshou 2022-06-16

What is the result, big boss?

Jerry 2022-06-14

Recently, I feel that the speed has been a bit slow in the past two years, possibly due to the pandemic.

j-liu 2022-06-14

I want to ask everyone, how long does it usually take to receive a formal acceptance letter after receiving a conditional acceptance? It has been 16 days for me, and I still haven't received any formal acceptance email.

j-liu 2022-06-14

The editor will definitely be assigned. There may be a relatively large number of manuscripts recently, so please wait a little longer.

Recently, I submitted a job application to Nature Communications on June 6th. The current status is as follows:
Manuscript submitted: June 6th, 22
Submission in process: June 5th, 22
It has been 7 days since this status, and an editor has not been assigned yet. This is quite unusual. Is it possible that the manuscript could be rejected without going through the editor assignment process? This is my first attempt at submitting to NC, and I have no experience. Can anyone knowledgeable provide some information? Thank you in advance.

The template still can't be used, could you please provide it again? Thank you.

It's likely that the review process was completed quickly and the manuscript may not be accepted. I regret not recommending reviewers. :(

Ordinary engineering polymers, with a focus on material processing, leaning towards physics but primarily experimental. In foreign postdoctoral work, a personal first-authored article is the best. I hope the journal continues to improve. (May reply late to follow-up questions).

Okay, it's been over ten days... We accepted it on the 5th, but we haven't received the payment notice. I noticed that they usually receive the payment notice within 3 days. If you receive the payment notice, please kindly let me know.

朱老师哈哈哈 2022-04-12

I have not yet received the payment notice.

XJ168 2022-04-12

Hello, may I ask how many days it took for you to receive the payment notice after you received it?

朱老师哈哈哈 2022-04-12

Posted in early August 2021, officially accepted on April 1, 2022, and provisionally accepted after two rounds of reviewing. Overall, the reviewing process felt very rigorous, with expert colleagues. The early-stage editing was done quickly, but it was said that the processing was slower later on due to a large number of submissions. Hopefully, everyone can have a good outcome.

XJ168 2022-04-11

Hello, I have also been waiting for 4 days and have not received the payment notice. May I ask how long it takes for you to receive the payment notice?

XJ168 2022-04-11

I have been waiting for 4 days and still have not received the payment information. May I ask if you have received the payment information? How long does it usually take?

j-liu 2022-04-08

Can you please share your timeline with me?

The paper has finally been accepted after three rounds of review, taking more than a year. It underwent major revisions after the first review, minor revisions after the second, and was finally accepted with no further changes after the third. Many experiments were added throughout the process, but fortunately, the final outcome was good. The journal usually provides acceptance or revision suggestions on Monday afternoons, local time. I hope NC (presumably referring to the institution or conference) continues to improve, and everyone achieves good results.

I have accepted it for several days and still have not received the payment information.

Overall feeling, the reviewers were very professional, and the editor was very responsible. They even helped us condense the abstract. The initial screening acceptance rate is about 20%, and it is recommended to put more effort into the cover letter, as the final acceptance rate is around 8%. The journal has strict requirements, all original data and figures must be made public, and both the reviewer comments and response letter will be made public.
