I had to add some irrelevant data, fortunately, I didn't have to conduct additional experiments. It feels like the reviewers are not experts in my research field, as their questions are irrelevant. I have tried my best to make the revisions, hoping to get accepted.

I sympathize with the guy upstairs, keep going!

09.15 review returned, three reviewers, major grammar revisions.

10.02 revised.

The speed is as always, three reviewers as always.

Hope for the same acceptance as always!

Dr. Fan was the chosen editor during submission, and Dr. Liu Yongchang was the editor during the revision.

Posted on July 26th, edited for 14 days (under review) by 2 reviewers (only one responded). After two major revisions, it was rejected on September 30th. The reason was due to the need for additional experiments, which I tried various methods but couldn't achieve. I replied politely, hoping to convince the reviewer but failed. Well, I have to admit my limited abilities and feel quite upset about it. Still, I hope the journal continues to improve.

This journal is too slow. It's been over a month since August 21st with the editor, and still no news...

I would like to ask how long it will take for the journal to be indexed after acceptance.

I submitted three papers to JAC this year, only this one was given a revision, while the other two were rejected after one round of review. Personally, I feel that some editors at JAC are not very professional. The manuscripts often end up in the hands of reviewers who are not in the same field, which leads to some confusing feedback from reviewers that the editor still accepts. Because JAC receives a large number of submissions, editors will choose multiple reviewers. However, the downside of this approach is that the editor does not take action and simply follows the majority opinion. They do not further evaluate the reviewer's comments, which may not be in the same direction, and it seems that the editor themselves do not understand. I sincerely suggest that JAC find more editors in the field of metallurgy and not let editors in the energy field handle articles on metals. The reviewers are just not professional enough.

17 days after submission, it was stated that the recommended reviewers cannot be from the same country as the author. They requested to change the recommended reviewers and resubmit on the same day. After waiting for nearly 20 more days, it reached the hands of the editor. Three to four days later, it was marked as "under review". About a week later, the status changed to "under review" again with a new date. Five days later, it was rejected, stating that they couldn't find reviewers.

The translation of the text "我投的半个月with editor" into English is "I submitted for half a month with an editor."

阿福 2021-09-23

This journal is extremely slow now. It has been three months since the review process began and there is still no news. Two reminder letters were sent, but there has been no response at all. Therefore, I have decided to withdraw the submission directly.

研三白菜 2021-09-23

It has been half a month since I submitted mine. What is your current status?

研三白菜 2021-09-23

I would like to ask the seniors here, is it normal for my article to have been in the "submitted to journal" status for half a month?

april12 2021-09-18

It took over two months for the manuscript to be reviewed, with seven reviewers providing 43 comments. I was shocked by all of them. After waiting for two and a half months, it was ultimately rejected. I feel so upset.

1594369135@qq.com 2021-09-17

I see that the "under review" status of your papers has changed dates, but mine has not changed since September 7th. Does it mean that currently only one reviewer has been assigned to mine?

双一流冲一波 2021-09-17

I submitted to the journal 16 days ago and it's really slow, delaying people. I wonder what they are doing?

jingti 2021-09-17

Did you pay the money? It was sent for review so quickly. It has been ten days since I submitted it to the journal.

There is a process with the editor, but it is very short and will be completed on the same day. The reviewers are determined by the journal, so it is pointless to ask me.

ande 2021-09-14

Which editor did you choose?

ande 2021-09-14

The submission has been in the "Submitted to Journal" status for ten days. When will it start being processed?

Until 9.4, there has been no change in status.

Overall, the speed is average, with a slow start and a faster pace towards the end. The reviewers were very professional, providing 13 suggestions for revisions.

爱乔 2021-09-14

The review speed is fast, and the editor is very diligent.

exist 2021-09-14

A rather foolish question: Isn't recommending referees just a recommendation? They can find other referees, so why would they be rejected due to referee issues?

exist 2021-09-14

Excuse me, was there a "with editor" display before August 22nd?

contratiempo 2021-09-13

The processing speed is still very fast, it's just that the proof is not being sent out.

@songkefan 2021-09-13

August 9th: submit to journal
August 22nd: rejected due to reviewer issues
August 23rd: resubmitted
September 8th: with editor
September 11th: under review

The first submission took 13 days, and the second submission took 16 days. So, everyone, please be patient. It will probably take around 20 days to reach the "with editor" stage. It hasn't been this slow before, but it's likely due to the recent increase in submissions. The number of article codes has increased by nearly 1,000 in less than half a month between my two submissions. Of course, it may also be related to the reform of the reviewer system. I used to only need to submit once, but now I have to submit twice, which increases the workload for the journal. However, once it reaches the "with editor" stage, it will be back to normal. Recently, our research group had a paper reviewed by this journal, and it was sent back for revisions in just two weeks. So, in summary, 1. submitting to the journal does take a long time, so be patient and wait in line. If you are in a hurry, I don't recommend submitting in the near future. 2. Pay attention to reviewer issues, or else you will waste time.

Generally, there will be changes within a month. It varies depending on the editor's preferences.

李万里 2021-09-13

What happened? Is it true that no one is left? It has been two weeks and no action has been taken.
