Submission: 2020.03.29; First review and revision: 2020.06.20; Revision: 2020.07.20; Acceptance: 2020.08.04; Online publication: 2020.09.02. The manuscript was submitted at the end of March 2020 and accepted in August 2020. The editor processing speed is very fast, but the submission cycle is relatively long, which may be mainly affected by the epidemic. In the review comments, a reviewer mainly gave suggestions on details such as language expression, experimental parameter selection, and interpretation. Another reviewer mainly gave opinions on the innovation and research significance of the paper. Due to the high requirements of the journal, it took a long time to carefully revise according to the comments of the reviewers. After the revised submission, the editor dealt with it quickly, and the reviewer agreed to accept it. In general, the editors and reviewers are very responsible and give quite pertinent opinions. In addition, the language expression of the paper and the quality of the pictures should be taken seriously.

The review speed was very fast, without wasting my time. Especially for graduate students preparing for the doctoral entrance examination, this is very critical. The quality of this journal was obviously much better than that in previous years. Coupled with being a leading journal, it is estimated that the requirements will be higher and higher. The review was very strict, and several students’ manuscripts were rejected. My manuscript went through two major revisions. The reviewers were very professional, and you knew they were experts at the first glance. Although making revisions was painful, I still learned a lot. My first paper was published in CJA, which can be regarded as a fate with CJA. Finally, I wish CJA better and better.

Received: 4 March 2019; Revised: 5 August 2019; Accepted: 16 July 2019. I’m a direct doctor in a 985 university in the capital of China. Three stages of “revision-revision-employment" was included for this paper. There was a total of three reviewers. The first review took about one and a half months, and the review comments given by the three reviewers were all professional and sharp, which greatly helped improve the quality of the manuscript. Then, it took nearly 20 days for us to make major revisions and submit it again. Almost a month and a half later, the second comment was received. One reviewer had no comments, and the other one asked one question, requiring me to explain. The third one was satisfied with the response to the previous comment, and then asked another one, which was very clever and meaningful. Next, I spent about five days revising it, adding a new section of content, and submitted it again. In less than two weeks, I was notified that it was accepted, so I modified it as required and submitted the final version.

I am a doctoral student and I have contributed two articles in the teaching and research section of this journal. CJA strictly controls the quality of the journal, and the review process is very strict. It gives me the feeling that there are many reviewers involved, which is also very strict.

The review speed is impressive, and the reviewers' comments are very professional. The only downside is that the publication process is very slow, it took almost a year from acceptance to publication. If you need the article urgently for graduation or other purposes, it is recommended to expedite the process.
