2020.3.15, submitted, with editor; 4 days later, 2020.3.19, under review; 25 days later, 2020.4.9, revision requested (major revision).

The efficiency of the editor was very high. In general, it was very smooth. I wish your articles can be accepted soon, and the journal will be better and better.

It was the eighth article on macromolecule accepted by international journal. In this time, the editor was Ian Sim. Professor Ian Sim processed the manuscript faster than before. The reviewers didn’t agree to review the manuscript until it was 18 days after the manuscript was sent for review. So, the first review was delayed. It took 2 months from submission to acceptance. I also review a lot of manuscripts for this journal every year, and I was often required to finish reviewing in 14 days. In general, the review speed of this journal is faster than other journals. I hope it gets better and better. In addition, the submission system of this journal has changed back to the Editorial Manager system used before 2016. Once the manuscript is sent for review, the status will change into Under Review. There is no Review Invited status in the previous Elsevier submission system Evise. Therefore, it is impossible to judge whether the reviewer agrees to review, which is different from the previous Elsevier submission system Evise, from which you can judge whether the reviewer agrees to review. (Review Invited was changed into Under Review.)

2019.9.24 submit, with editor, 3 days; 2019.9.27 under review, 15 days; 2019.10.12 ready for decision, 2 days; 2019.10.14 revision request (minor revision), two reviewers, very friendly, praised us, and mentioned some small problems, 13 days; 2019.10.27 re-submit, with editor, 1 day; 2019.10.28 accept. The editor was Aichun Dong. The editing efficiency is very high. I resubmitted it at midnight on Saturday, and received the email at 5 AM earlier on Monday. Thank you very much, Professor Dong. I think the main reason for the long time wqs that the reviewers were not easy to find or the reviewers were inefficient. I wish everyone’ article will be accepted as soon as possible.

The editor of the journal is very strong, and the processing speed is quite fast. Every time it is less than two days for a status update. Very responsible reviewers.

Dropped to the second district! This journal now receives a huge number of submissions, receiving four or five review invitations per month. It feels like it's going to be all open access (OA) soon, I really can't think of any other reason for the rapid expansion of supplements!

This magazine should have cooled down. Section 2. And, some of the editors of this magazine do have issues. I had two opinions on my article during the first review. I carefully revised it according to the two opinions, and also spent more than 2000 yuan on revisions as requested by the editor. During the second review, theoretically it should have been sent to those two reviewers. However, the editor sent it to 12 reviewers, and five opinions came back. One new reviewer completely rejected it, while the other four had two acceptances and two minor revisions. The editor rejected the article based on the opinion of the reviewer who denied it. Such editors are speechless. I will not submit the same article to this magazine in the future.
