For the first review, it was with editor for about 5–6 days. We did not receive the first review results in 40 days, and we wrote a reminder letter, and a minor revision was required the next day. One reviewer requested a minor revision, one reviewer’s comments had not returned yet, and then the editor did not wait any longer. It was resubmitted in one week and got accepted in 3 days. Overall, it feels quite fast, and the specific speed depends on the review speed of the reviewers.

Submitted in mid-February; the first review returned in mid-March; sent for review in early April; the second review returned on April 20; sent for review again in early May; accepted in late May; publication fee paid on the third day; available online on the fourth day. The editing process is very fast, basically after uploading to the system, it will be sent for review the next day, while it took at least two weeks in the hands of the reviewers. Generally speaking, the speed of the editorial office is very fast. The reviewers are also serious and responsible.

I accidentally discovered a new method of synthesizing a material when working on catalytic materials. The material itself has no catalytic activity, so there is no research on its application. After submitting to a journal ranked Q2, it was rejected, and the paper was transferred to this journal according to the editor's suggestion. The peer review took 52 days, and the manuscript was accepted after we carefully revised it according to the review comments. The main problem with this journal is that the review is slow, so remember to remind the editor if the paper has been reviewed for a long time. That will make it faster. This is an open access journal, and there will be a fee after acceptance. But I think open access is the trend now, even RSC is doing it.

You brainless fool, why are you still babbling on after all this time? No results have been released yet, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is still in the second district. Can't you wait patiently for the results?

Back in the days, so many people thought that what I said was not objective, which is really funny.

Why haven't there been any news recently? It feels like everything has gone silent...

It should still be on hold. There are still 212 papers to retrieve in 2024.

Where did the big shot see the newly included parts? I can only search for the 212 articles collected in 2024.

Is it time to release on hold?

I found a very strange phenomenon on Web of Science. Articles from Results in Physics between April 2024 and October 2024 were not included, but some articles from November 2024 to February 2025 have been partially included. Can any expert explain this situation?

The response from the newly appointed editor-in-chief is as follows:

The answer to question 1 is yes, we are conducting an ethics review and may need to retract some papers that were published by authors who engage in malpractice to inflate their bibliometric indices.
Regarding question 3, I am unsure when or if this issue will be resolved positively, as it is not a decision in which I can participate.

It's better to withdraw the submission quickly. There may be some issues with this journal, and being put on hold could result in being removed from SCI.

May I ask if there are any latest updates, OP?

(0) Thank | luelue233

The article has just been revised and is ready to be submitted. Shockingly, it was put on hold, and I just found out what "on hold" means. Should I withdraw the submission or what should I do? Does anyone know the current situation? How should I inquire about the status with the editor?

(0) Thank | luelue233

When will this journal finally have some new updates? It's already the second year on hold.

Suddenly found out that the Editor-in-Chief of the journal has changed again. The current two are Tommaso Dorigo and Vadim Markel. The fee seems to have increased again, $1920. Is this a good sign or a bad sign?

Big brother, do you think this journal can be taken off hold? It's been 7 months already, and I'm getting anxious.

Who has the editor-in-chief's email? Can you please send an email to inquire about the journal's situation?

We can only see that it is on hold from WOS, and we cannot see the specific situation. If there is a chance, please withdraw the submission as soon as possible. There are too many submissions on hold recently, and it is estimated that they cannot be released in the short term.

Where can I view details, progress, and other related information about RINP's on hold status?

After reading the articles in the relevant journals, I feel that the quality is acceptable. The optical aspect is similar to OE, and the level of the second area is average, but it falls short of the top level.
