It must be said that the peer review process of ACS journals is one of the most rigorous and fair platforms among several major publishers. As a well-established top journal, ACS AMI focuses on biomedical engineering sub-journals, and its quality and reputation are at the upper-middle level among existing journals. However, due to the initial focus on ACS ABM in the layout of ACS biomedical engineering series journals, and the citation rate has not been ideal, it is said that the entry of ACS ABM into the SCIE list has been delayed. But now it seems that the strategy has backfired. It is expected to enter the SCIE list soon, and the quality of the articles inside is indeed very good. Currently, the research results in ACS ABM are comparable to RSC's Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and in some aspects, they are even above COLLOIDS AND SURFACES B-BIOINTERFACES. Just my personal opinion.

The article has been transferred from a journal in the ACS Zone 1 to this one (after peer review with three major revisions). Due to the professor's disagreement with the decision to resubmit, it was directly transferred.

Because it still hasn't been indexed until now, there is no partition.

The latest IF4.7, the quality of the articles on it is still very good, and the requirements are increasingly high.

18 years, three sub-journals BIO, ENERGY, NANO, let's see what level ENERGY and NANO have reached now. BIO is barely alive with its inclusion in ESCI. Since BIO is not developing well, why start this sub-journal? They intentionally appointed a Chinese person as the responsible editor to suppress the development of BIO. Indeed, all the work in the BIO field can be incorporated into NANO. The BIO field can be further refined and is actually unnecessary. It is suggested that everyone directly write a letter to the editor-in-chief of AMI to cancel the BIO journal and not embarrass ourselves by keeping it. All the articles published in it should be directly placed in NANO or deleted and thrown into the academic trash can, press the clear button. Thinking of this magazine makes me sick. Journals that cannot enter SCIE should be kicked out of the ACS team.

ACS APPLIED BIO MATERIALS
Web of Science Core Collection: Emerging Sources Citation Index
Additional Web of Science Indexes: Biological Abstracts | BIOSIS Previews
This is the journal's status after six years! The indexes of other sub-journals cover important disciplines, while this one can only index abstracts and previews. It is at the bottom of the bottom. Strongly urge ACS to remove ACS ABM, this lousy journal!

A reliable ACS journal with marginalization and poor quality, it's embarrassing. Don't talk about how ACS requires an impact factor of at least five to be included, if it could have reached that level, it would have long ago. Even SCIE despises such a low-quality sub-journal, so it won't be included. If it's not even SCI-listed, why would anyone cite it? And forget about hoping for a high impact factor, that's just a dream. Moreover, this journal is already on the decline, with a pitifully low number of submissions this year. India is the absolute main contributor, and they basically accept everything, no matter how poor the quality is. It's a definite trash bin, and they still pretend to be important. They can only rapidly accept articles to publish one issue per month, otherwise the ASAP section will have no inventory to publish. Never submit your carefully written manuscript to this exclusive Indian journal, it's like throwing it away.

For those who have not yet submitted, you must think twice before taking action, and you must avoid pitfalls! This journal was first established in 2018 and cannot be considered a new publication anymore. Until now, it is only indexed in ESCI, not SCI, not SCI, not SCI... The sub-journal of AMI only has BIO, which is not SCI. It is unlikely for BIO to enter SCI this year, and it is also unlikely for the next five years. You must avoid pitfalls. Submitting to this journal is equivalent to nullifying an article. ESCI is not recognized domestically. Do not recognize ESCI. If you see this comment, you must avoid this journal. It is better to submit to your own school's journal, which may be considered as a Chinese core journal. ESCI does not count for anything. It is equivalent to publishing an experimental report online, which cannot be used for graduation or awards. The future prospects of this journal are not promising. Most of the articles are from hydrology in India, with messy pictures and rough style. There are basically no domestic submissions to this journal, except for some special issues. For those in related fields, you can submit to ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering. The difficulty is not much higher than this BIO journal, but it is a solid SCI journal. It works for anything! Be sure to avoid the pitfall! This APPLIED BIO cannot be included in SCI in the next few years, and it may never be included. It is the abandoned child of ACS, not as good as MDPI.

Next year, ESCI will also have an impact factor. Don't be so pessimistic.

(0) Thank | superceng

Does ESCI have an impact factor? How much does it matter? What matters is that ESCI is not recognized domestically, journals are not included in SCIE, and everything else is irrelevant. Chinese Core EI is a hundred times stronger than ESCI. This journal is a disgrace to ACS, as only a few of ACS journals have yet to enter SCIE, and these few were only launched in 2020-2021, so being in ESCI is normal. This old 2018 journal really embarrassed ACS. From the current situation, the number of submissions from domestic authors has drastically decreased. If it is still not included within six months, then it will be completely over.

Don't be discouraged, the Impact Factor of Clarivate Analytics has changed today. ESCI journals will also have an Impact Factor next year.

Dear Dr. @@@,

We have contacted the editors of ACS regarding this issue, and the chief editor of AMI has responded. They are also aware of the indexing problem with BIO and are in discussions with Clarivate to resolve it. We hope that the first step of indexing can be completed as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Kirk S. Schanze

I can understand everyone's feelings. According to this year's citation count, as long as BIO enters SCI, its first impact factor will be above 5, so the prospect is still good, definitely not worse than another journal called BIOMATERIALS by ACS. However, ACS just refuses to include BIO. As one of the top three sub-journals, it is not comparable to the fourth or fifth one. Now, the sixth and seventh ones are about to be released this year. If BIO does not have an impact factor in the fifth year, what reason is there to believe that it will have one in the sixth year? There isn't any. This journal has started to decline this year, at least the domestic authors will no longer believe in its future. Its future is uncertain.

It's really frustrating. I invested in it in 19 years and still waiting. The flowers have withered already. I will definitely not invest in new magazines anymore. I have learned my lesson.

Not SCI, and it hasn't been included in JCR yet. Don't submit to this journal, it's equivalent to wasting an article.

Not being included in SCIE for 4 years is so disappointing! It wasted one of my articles.

No need to pay attention anymore, this journal will not have an impact factor. Its positioning is only in ESCI and will never be included in SCI.

I suggest that the ACS APPLIED series directly remove this BIO journal as it is not valued and it lowers the overall quality of the series.

The impact factors for 2022 have been released today, and it is both expected and unexpected that BIO has no impact factor.

The POLYMER series has a total citation of 5602 with an impact factor of 4.855, while ELECTRONIC has a total citation of 4185 with an impact factor of 4.494. BIO has a citation of 8347, but no impact factor.

Despite having twice the citation of ELECTRONIC, BIO does not deserve to have an impact factor. Could it be because Chinese people serve as the duty editor?

The authors of BIO have been waiting for these past few years, and this is the result: no impact factor. They hope for next year, and next year they hope for the year after, but it will never happen.

Only the operational department of ACS probably knows the specific reasons for this. This journal has entered a vicious cycle.

I suggest submitting to other established journals. The impact factor is secondary; if it is not included in SCI, it is equivalent to discarding an article.

ACS AMI transferred to BIO sub-journals. The efficiency is very high, as review comments are provided two weeks after submission, with three reviewers. The total time from submission to acceptance is one month. The BIO journal started publishing in July 2018 and has been running for five years. It is still listed in ESCI and has not been included in SCIE. For whatever reason, this is probably the longest and most difficult journal for ACS to enter SCI, which is puzzling. In terms of article level and depth, similar second-tier journals like ACS APPLIED NANO MATERIALS and ACS BIOMATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING are recommended. The articles in these three journals can be considered together. However, APPLIED BIO is not in SCI, and considering the current situation, the possibility of receiving an impact factor this year is very low, which is very detrimental to the quality and development of future submissions. Even after five years, it cannot be considered a new journal. Because even in China, ESCI is not on par with the Chinese core, it is nothing. Although disappointed, I still hope that BIO will have a good future direction. Entering SCIE is the first step; otherwise, there is no point discussing further.

One month and four days to receive the first review comments.
Eight days to revise.
Three days to accept after revision.
From submission to acceptance, it took a month and a half. Thank you to Professor Wang Shu, the editor-in-chief, for the recognition. I wish the journal continued success and increasing influence!
