Why are you so fast, envious and hateful!

杨国纯 2022-03-18

Very fast, received modification information within a month, finished modification within half a month, received one week later, published one week later.

John Snow 2022-03-18

May I ask if the publishing center updates the review status in a timely manner? It has been half a month since the editor was assigned, and I don't know if it has been submitted for review.

The first review will take around one month, with three minor revisions. The second review will take 40 days. The editor will provide formatting modifications and they will be accepted on the same day. I don't know why the second review is taking so long. Editor: Nicholas Gathergood.

The speed of reviewing is indeed as expected. Submitted on January 19th, it has been a week and the first review has not yet come back. The editor-in-chief himself is handling the manuscript.

It has been almost a month since I submitted my article for review and it was rejected. It was assigned to Bing Joe Hwang, an editor from Taiwan. Both of my submissions were sent to this editor, and in both cases, it took nearly a month before they were rejected. Furthermore, they were not even reviewed. The reason for rejection was the same, stating that the efficiency of the first round of editing was low. However, I specifically included a table in the article to demonstrate that the efficiency of the first round of editing was not low compared to similar materials. I am speechless.

The most important thing is, if you want to reject it, go ahead, but can you do it faster? Every time it takes almost a month, and I am truly disgusted by this editor...

Submitted four minor revisions within a month, no updates since returning on January 30th.

This is so annoying... So unlucky. You have not made any progress in the past 12 days, while I have at least started in the past 12 days.

观天澜 2022-02-28

I was assigned to Jeannette Garcia as a deputy editor. I work on quantum computational chemistry at IBM, previously I worked on biodegradable plastics. It's been 11 days and there has been no progress at all.

Which editor is it? Recently, the editor of this magazine is indeed a bit slow.

gdada 2022-02-28

May I ask who is the editor for this? Was Dr. Jeannette Garcia assigned to it? I didn't see anyone mention it in the comments.

永光 2022-02-27

After submitting the manuscript, it was under review in just a few days. I thought it had already been sent for evaluation, but it was rejected a month later. If it had been rejected by the reviewers, I could have accepted it. At least I would have known what aspect needed to be modified. It turns out that during this month, it was still in the hands of the editor, and it was the editor who rejected it instead. What is this editor doing? So lazy! If it hasn't reached the reviewers yet, then don't put it under review! If it's going to be rejected, reject it earlier. Don't waste my time!

tzl6880 2022-02-25

Revision submitted on 08 February 2022, but there has been no news on the two minor repairs until now. So slow (it has been 25 days).

jun1 2022-02-25

Submitted on February 20th, the vice editor was assigned on the same day. Will a notification be sent for this journal to be reviewed?

十一月14 2022-02-24

Submitted at the end of December, it is currently under external review.
Wasn't this journal supposed to be quick?... Requested an update once.
Waiting anxiously.

anie 2022-02-23

OP, has it been sent to sels? How long does it take for you to review... Mine has been 50 days and I still haven't received any review comments.

yilz33 2022-02-23

The speed is extremely slow, which is the problem of the deputy editor-in-chief himself.
The third reviewer rejected the manuscript twice and accepted it once. Except for one rejection citing insufficient innovation in the article, the remaining two opinions were very brief. One said it was good and accepted, while the other said it was well done but lacked innovation and therefore not accepted.
That's how it is, nothing else.

SU Ann 2022-02-18

May I ask if your minor revision is displayed as "in peer review"?

观天澜 2022-02-14

I found the current manuscript in the upper right corner, this system is too difficult to use. 0.0

观天澜 2022-02-14

Dear teachers, this is my first time submitting to the ACS series, and I have successfully submitted my manuscript. I have some questions that I would like to consult with you.

I submitted my manuscript through the "submit" button on the sustainable homepage, and it directly redirected me to an ACS ID. After completing the registration, I chose "sustainable" in ACS to begin the submission process. After submitting, I noticed that it did not display a long bar showing the submission status and various times, like in Elsevier journals. Instead, it showed the manuscript number and status under "My Authoring Activity" as "Submitted to Editorial Office". It feels like this submission system is a central repository. Moreover, immediately after submitting, it already showed the manuscript number and "under review" status. I asked a senior student who had submitted to the same journal before, and they said it was displayed as a long bar like in Elsevier. This has left me confused, my friends. What could be the reason for this?

Sunny day 2022-01-29

May I ask how are you doing now, OP? Is this journal really that slow?

cs97 2022-01-26

How are you doing? Have you recorded it?

yilz33 2022-01-21

Bert Sels is really outrageous. Urged twice, but still not submitted for review until January 21st. It really makes one want to report.

Did you get any news?

Still editing at present...
Sincerely anxious...

wuxf_jlu 2022-01-05

My already submitted 20 have been filled, but they still appear in the editor's hands.

wuxf_jlu 2021-12-30

I have also been assigned to this editor, Professor Huang from Taiwan, for over two weeks. It hasn't entered peer review yet. Hopefully, good luck.

LeBron Z 2021-12-29

It took about a month and a half from submission to acceptance.

澄心 2021-12-21

Submit on October 8th, receive minor revisions on November 8th, and return on December 2nd. Smooth reception. Special thanks to Editor Han for being diligent, responsible, and patient.
