I received the SI’s review invitation yesterday. At first glance, the newly released impact factor seemed okay, so I decided to agree to review. I hope SI will overcome all obstacles and live up to expectations.

I am also in the corrosion field. Editor Luo processes manuscripts very quickly and diligently. Thumbs up for his professional work attitude!

Warning! The later stage is extremely slow. I have never seen such a frustrating journal. The late-stage editor often brings up irrelevant issues and deliberately delays the process. For example, Table of Contents, author contributions, etc., even though they have already been uploaded separately, they insist on integrating them into the main text. It feels like the editor is extremely lazy and just wants to bother you with these small issues. If you are not happy, the editor will reject your submission! I will never submit to this journal again! I will not consider transferring my submission either! I guarantee that I will not submit to this journal for review!

I would like to ask when everyone received their submissions. It has been 12 days since I submitted mine and I still haven't received any revisions.

Hello classmate, I wanted to ask you how long it takes for the school to review the online form after you have completed it. I have filled it out for a day already, but they haven't mentioned anything about submitting it.

I specialize in the field of metal material surface and corrosion research, and in the past, the submission process was particularly slow. Starting from the second half of last year, the processing of surface and corrosion-related topics has been very quick. I am a Luo editor who is very efficient, fast, and handles review comments very promptly. I hope that other foreign editors of this journal can also be as efficient as our Chinese editors. We should not use one article to generalize and criticize the entire journal, but should seek the truth.

The second reviewer agreed to publish the manuscript, and the editor only requested minor revisions. However, one week later, the editor rejected it, J. Tom. Be cautious when submitting!!!

I think it's also a matter of the credibility of the journal.

It has been lowered to the third tier, even being rejected can be considered a blessing in disguise.

I never expected this journal to drop from Tier 3, I am heartbroken about the Chinese Academy of Sciences classification. ???
