The journal is quite fast, and it was accepted in about 45 days.

My article originally did not have XPS at all. It was a theoretical calculation article with a little experimental verification, but there was no XPS. The two reviewers did not mention adding XPS either, but the editor insisted on adding XPS. After adding it and sending it back, the previous two reviewers agreed to accept it. However, a third reviewer came up with all XPS related issues and demanded that the article be corrected according to the editor's requirements. It feels like being forced to do XPS. Sigh.

My four reviewers, including the editor, gave me major revisions. After resubmitting, it has been almost a month, and there is still no news.

There are two reviewers in total. One of the reviewers provided issues related to XPS, while the other provided professional issues. The editor also raised a few questions. In the end, the editor suggested major revisions, and the manuscript has been sent back for revisions. It is possible that it will be sent for review again.

My major is also in the field of materials, and they want me to add XPS.

The overall speed is acceptable. After being rejected by Materials Letters, it was revised and resubmitted. The two reviewers provided constructive feedback. There was no request for additional XPS. The timeline is as follows:

The editor's speed is very fast, so it depends solely on the reviewers' speed, but the quality of the reviewers varies. Some can tell that the reviewers I cited are more professional, while others do not seem to understand the characteristics of the field. However, the editor still has their own judgment, which is commendable. The impact factor of this journal is increasing year by year, and the future looks promising!

Quick!
But the editor is always very concerned about XPS issues, regardless of whether they are relevant or not.
Every time, it is always a matter of reasoning and arguing, but the editor doesn't insist on it either. Now there seems to be a rising trend. I wonder if the difficulty will increase in the future.

To be honest, the review speed of this journal is very fast, usually returning in just 15 days. There are generally three reviewers, including the editor himself and another from the same research group. Honestly, if you have done XPS, it is advisable to check the editor's articles and calibrate your own XPS results accordingly, as this increases the likelihood of acceptance. Overall, the editor is very meticulous and takes XPS results seriously. Providing thorough answers to the editor's questions usually yields favorable outcomes. PS: Another set of XPS results has been added.

Asked a large number of professional questions about XPS and requested me to calibrate using his method.

First submission on April 27th;
Received first-round comments on May 15th, requiring major revisions;
Returned revised draft on June 15th;
Received notice from the editor on July 11th, still requiring major revisions;
Resubmitted the revised draft on July 26th;
Received notice of article acceptance from the editor on July 27th.
This time, there was only one reviewer and one editor providing revision suggestions for the vacuum submission, and the review process was quite efficient.

Grzegorz Greczynski and editor Lars are both from Lin Xueping University. The former used to be a member of the latter's team. In the past five years, the former has been conducting research on XPS, so he especially likes to ask others to add XPS results, sometimes being a bit forceful.

The following text translates to English as: "In this journal, there is an option at the end of the submission process. If I choose Gold Open Access, it means that upon acceptance, my final published journal article will be immediately available to everyone, but I will need to pay an Article Publishing Charge (APC) of USD 2,510.00, excluding taxes. If I choose the other option that does not require an article publishing fee, it means that after acceptance, I will have to wait for 24 months. I would like to know if this waiting period of 24 months means that the article can only be indexed after 24 months or if it can be indexed immediately after acceptance."

Vacuum is now very friendly towards articles on metallurgical materials, with a fast review process. It takes just over a month to be published, and the impact factor is also very satisfactory. Wishing you more success.

The review speed is quite good, but the editing process is a bit slow, possibly due to being busy. Overall, the feeling is good, with some degree of innovation, which increases the probability of acceptance.

科研就是讲故事 2021-04-26

A very good journal, recently I have seen many domestic teachers submitting articles. The review process is very fast. I submitted on March 7th and received minor revisions on March 25th. There were three reviewers who were very professional. They requested additional XPS data, and after making the modifications, I resubmitted. It was accepted on April 8th, all within less than a month. Thank you, thank you. The predicted impact factor for 2020 is 3.5. I hope it will quickly reach 4.

Just to add: This is a comprehensive journal, it doesn't necessarily have to be related to vacuum. Contributions related to steel, alloys, polymers, superhard materials, and wood are also accepted.

The review process is fast, usually within one week. It is a very good journal. Best wishes for continuous improvement.

This journal is really going to be popular. While mainstream physics and chemistry journals are lukewarm, VACUUM has good speed and professionalism in peer review, and the English requirements are not very strict. It is suitable for a journal published by Chinese researchers. The predicted impact factor for 2020 is 3.58, with a positive trend, and it is highly recommended for submission.
