Not all articles are reviewed in accordance with JACS requirements. First of all, they must be evaluated. If it is in a popular direction, or the contributors have good credits (for example, the articles published in CCL have been highly cited before), then the requirements can be relaxed. If it is in a traditional discipline, it is more suitable for professional journals, not for comprehensive journals (such articles are usually cited very low. Two-thirds of the articles published on CCL in a traditional discipline last year were cited 0 or only 1 time, so in the future it is inevitable for this journal to adjust its strategies). Therefore, the future impact factor of CCL will rise very quickly. It is now 4.6 and may exceed 6 next year, but 5.5 is guaranteed. Therefore, if you have a good work, you should give priority to comprehensive journals. If managed properly, the impact factor of them will rise quickly and the influence will be great. CCL is getting more and more difficult to publish now. If you are lucky enough to publish an article on it, you should cherish the opportunity. Please promote it more and make sure it is cited more, so that it will be easier for your submission later. I have also published more than 10 articles on CCL in the last 3 years. I am trying to get each article cited more than 20 times within two years. It seems that this can be done now. The articles published in 2018 and 2019 have been cited more than 15 times. By the end of the year, the citations of the articles in 2018 will definitely exceed 20. Next year, the articles in 2019 may be cited more than 30 times. The author of the 32nd post: TheMostHandsome

Submitted the same article three times. The first two times the reviewer did not understand the meaning of my article, so he argued twice. The editor handled it seriously every time. The third time, the process was very smooth. After about 10 days, they sent back format modification comments and then I revised it. About 1 month later, the paper was accepted. However, it took another four months from acceptance to online, and two months from online to official publication. The overall feeling: the editor is very responsible, very patient.

You're obviously rejecting it, so just reject it quickly. Why are you dragging it out for so many days? It's delaying me from submitting elsewhere.

Hello, the submission system does not have the option for "research article" as an article type. Should I select the option for VSI instead? Additionally, there is no template for "research article" on the official website, should I refer to the template for a review instead? Thank you.

The status of 5-19 under review has remained unchanged, and the processing speed is a bit slow.

May I ask what you selected at the back, and what does VSI mean below that?

Now double-blind peer review is being conducted, and I feel that the quality of the journal will be further improved.

What is the point of running a journal like this?

Speak softly, indeed, communication is the domain of the big shots in the circle, and the reviewers are all insiders.

This journal is a scam, completely a clique journal. Don't even think about getting accepted in the group, and I don't recommend submitting. Last year, the group submitted twice, both times the feedback was unreasonable rejection without any reason given, and no editor's name was left. This year, another direction of the research group was submitted for the first time, and haha, the same result again. All four reviewers provided revision suggestions, with two of them even explicitly stating acceptance after revision. However, the editor still unreasonably rejected without giving any reasons. If you reject all submissions like this, why bother sending them for review in the first place? No editor's name is left either, speechless. I suggest everyone to be extremely cautious, this journal is completely a clique journal, the so-called double-blind review is just a joke!

Excuse me, how do I submit a research paper to this journal? When selecting the article type in the submission system, there is no option for "research article."

Hello, I would like to ask when transferring copyright, should all the authors sign with their Chinese names or English names?
