ELECTROCHEMISTRY

3.8投 - 3.21 returned feedback, minor revisions, deadline given by editor until 3.28. However, the boss overlooked the email and only forwarded it to me on 4.5. The boss acted as a confidential intermediary. After I finished dealing with it, it took 2 hours to upload.

Overall, the speed is very fast. It has caused a delay in my thesis timeline, so those who are in a similar situation should consider it. Additionally, the journal has now switched to an OA (Open Access) system, so there may be some improvement in the impact factor. The fees are also reasonable.

One thing to note is that, unlike other systems, when communicating with the boss, I cannot see any progress information within the notification system. Only the boss's account can see it. So, it is important to remind the boss to check emails and log into the account to view the progress.

Confiscation. At that time, I was directly exempted from the membership of the Japan Electrochemical Society. It seems that non-members are generally not charged.
