Relying to the one downstairs. The impact fact of this year is about 4.15 (the total number of articles in 2017 and 2018 is 115, and the citation number is 478; that is, 478/115 = 4.156); the impact factor has not dropped. The impact factor of 2019 only counts the number of articles in 2017 and 2018 and its citations, but has nothing to do with the number of articles in 2019. The newest impact factor of 2019 will be released on tomorrow (2020-06-29) at 6 P.M. If you don't believe it, check it yourself. However, this year's citation score (CiteScore) calculation rules have changed. It uses the calculated value of 4 years as the latest citation score, that is, the number of articles in 2016–2019 and the corresponding number of citations. At the same time, the increase in the number of manuscripts in 19 years is mainly due to the increase in the articles, but the articles are not cited greatly. Therefore, the final citation score of 2019 is only 2.3, but this does not affect the impact factor. The citation score will rise next year.

The submission history is as follows: 02.10.2020, with journal; 02.11.2020, with editor. I waited for a month, but didn’t received any news. I urged once and changed the format; 03.16.2020, re-submitted; 05.07.2020, major revision; 05.15.2020, revision submitted to journal; 05.29.2020 minor revision; 05.31.2020, revision submitted to journal; 06.03.2020 with editor; 06.12.2020, accepted. The editor was Sergio N. Monteiro, who was good. However, the speed of processing articles is not fast. And the time is all delayed for “with editor”.

2024.12.31 submitted
2025.1.19 received major revisions, with 2 reviewers
Due on the 15th of the first month, played during the Chinese New Year and didn't revise carefully
2025.2.28 Reviewer 2 agreed to accept, Reviewer 1 rejected, saying the explanation was not what he wanted. Editor gave a revise and resubmit
2025.3.7, honestly responded to all of Reviewer 1's comments, added missing experiments and resubmitted
3.7 Submitted
3.21 Major revisions, 2 reviewers, one of them is a big shot from Poland. A junior colleague, even with the same experiments, actually asked me to cite his paper, and it's in IJP, a top journal, the other mostly minor revisions
3.30 Accepted, kept checking the official account and website every day during the process, but still got the acceptance through email forwarded by my supervisor
JMRT is really fast, but it was still top in Area 1 when submitted, now it's non-top in Area 2.

This submission was a transfer from the previous submission to Optics and Laser Technology. The editor I encountered this time at JOLT was very irresponsible, dragging on for a month with the editor, and then directly rejecting it with very unprofessional and insufficient reasons, so I angrily transferred to JMRT, where I encountered Lawrence Murr as the editor-in-chief, which made me deeply impressed. He is also the editor-in-chief of JMST, with impeccable professionalism and very fast manuscript handling speed. As you can see from the timeline of the editorial work mentioned above, the work efficiency is indeed very high, but there were no reviewers willing to accept the manuscript for a long time, and even when they did, they did not submit their review comments. The chief editor had to send it three times before finally gathering enough review comments after more than two months, and it was accepted immediately after serious revisions.
I wish JMRT continued to improve and rise to a higher level soon, and return to the top level.
