Currently, the review process at JEC is stricter. Additionally, other colleagues have submitted recently but have not undergone review. Moreover, blind review is now implemented, with five reviewers assigned, whereas in our group, previous submissions to JEC only had 2-3 reviewers. Overall, JEC's review efficiency is high, and the feedback is generally fair, accurately identifying weaknesses and providing corresponding suggestions. Furthermore, the formatting requirements are stricter compared to other journals.

Just want to ask, for the email submission to JEC, do they require author confirmation?

Excuse me, is everything charged, or only OA is charged?

How long does it take to receive the review comments after "Under Review"? Thank you.

I have submitted a total of three articles, all of which have been sent for review, but only one has been accepted. Recently, I just submitted an article and it was reviewed by four reviewers. Their comments were very positive, and finally it was accepted. It can only be said that our research group has been through a lot.

Submission: April 27th
Returned with four reviewers' comments on May 17th, requesting additional data. Due to the pandemic, the editor allowed four months for revision.
Revised and returned on July 3rd.
Technical editor requested format modifications on July 6th.
Returned after making the modifications on July 7th.
Submitted to the editor for review on July 8th.
Received feedback on July 13th.
Article accepted on July 14th.

The review efficiency of JEC has always been high, with fast rejections and quick feedback on comments. The efficiency is very high.

The rejection speed is very fast, without wasting time.

How long does it take for the editor to submit?

MY O 2022-07-11

Does the submission process have a "with editor" status in the past? Thank you.

MY O 2022-07-11

Is there a status called "with editor" for submission in the past? Or is it directly "under review"? Thank you.

MY O 2022-07-10

Is there an editor for this journal? Or should I submit it directly for review?

Is there any news?

May I ask when will the review comments be returned? How many days later will they be received? Thank you.

Submitted on the 4th of September, reviewed on the following day, received reviewer comments two weeks later, made three revisions and had one rejection, editor requested major revisions. Approximately on the 27th of May, after formatting improvements, the paper was resubmitted and quickly accepted for review. Thank you to the editor and best wishes for Journal of Energy Chemistry to continue improving and achieving higher journal quality!

Replying to Jasper, I submitted the manuscript on September 1, 2021. I received the reviewer's comments on September 17, 2021 from five reviewers. Afterward, I made revisions and the reviewers raised new questions, which took until January 5, 2022 to be officially accepted.

Six reviewers reviewed the article and accepted it after patiently writing a 30-page, single-spaced response. It became increasingly difficult, taking approximately two months. Thank you to the reviewers and editors for their promptness.

Do you charge a layout fee, experts? What is the approximate winning rate? Is the review period long?

tzl6880 2022-05-20

Thank you very much. May I trouble you with another question? Under what circumstances would a manuscript be sent for a second review? All three reviews of my manuscript were quite positive, and the responses were also quite positive. In this case, would the manuscript be sent for a second review? Has the status of the manuscript changed to "Revision Submitted to Journal" now?

tzl6880 2022-05-20

Okay, thank you. What kind of situation requires a second review? All three of my reviewers have given positive feedback and accepted the revisions. Would this situation require a second review?

编辑 2022-05-20

Thank you for recognizing JEC. Your rational rebuttal of irrational negative feedback is also a motivation for the journal!

编辑 2022-05-20

See if there is a need for a second review, if not, it will be quick. If needed, it will take some time.

tzl6880 2022-05-19

Is it possible that there is a symbol or garbled code appearing in the formatting? Will the paper be returned in this situation? Will the editor reject it directly in this case? (The requirements for the first submission are so strict)

It is recommended to remove these biased ratings and comments, as they seriously disrupt the judgment of knowledgeable individuals on the submission of articles to JEC. We hope the editor will handle such false statements properly.

xiaopao 2022-05-12

Thought you were so great, but your articles in that magazine are nothing more than mediocre. Do you really have the audacity to challenge Jec? Go back and improve yourself before daring to speak out again.

xiaopao 2022-05-12

Don't blame others for your own lack of ability. Why can others excel in innovative and good jobs? You may think highly of your own mediocre job, but in the eyes of others, it means nothing. Don't act like a resentful person. In the article, don't shift the blame to others. Take a good look at your own qualities before making any further applications. Your abilities are not sufficient.

December 23, 2021: Submitted, reviewed within three days.
January 23, 2022: Received review comments, two minor revisions and one major revision suggested. Due to the pandemic and additional calculations, the editor allowed four months.
April 22, 2022: Returned with two format changes made by the editor's office. It must be said that JEC has the strictest requirements for icon format that I have ever seen in the post-production stage.
April 28, 2022: Submitted after format modifications. The editor accepted it directly on the same evening without sending it back to the reviewer. I really appreciate the editor's speed, which is the fastest response I have experienced in years of submitting manuscripts!
Without a renowned team or influential figures supporting us, I was hesitant to submit initially. After all, JEC only receives a few hundred submissions each year, and our previous two submissions from our team were not reviewed. This time, it proves that as long as the work is solid and the innovation is powerful, even a smaller team can succeed!

I have subscribed to a magazine under ACS.

Now JEC has higher requirements for scientificity, or the prospects for battery applications are better. Your group's article has been rejected four times in the initial review. Take a look and see if it is biased towards materials and lacks scientificity. JEC accepts at least 600 articles every year. It is not possible to simply publish by hanging a big name. Many articles are not written by big names. Take a look at those articles and compare them to yours. Where is the gap? If there is no difference between your submission and most of the recent articles published by JEC, then you can contact the editorial department and argue with sufficient reasons.
