5.20 Submit; 5.22 With editor; 5.24 Under review; 6.5 Under review; 7.1 Under review; 7.7 Under review; 7.26 Under Editor Evaluation; 7.27 Minor Revision; 8.3 Revision Submitted to Journal; 8.4 With editor; 8.4 Accept; 8.6 Online. I saw everyone’s comments saying that it was slow and I was very worried, but overall it felt okay. Two reviewers, the first one was very positive and only suggested the language to be modified; the second one raised 6 comments. A minor revision was were finally required by the editor. The editor was Professor Xiao from Zhejiang University. The manuscript was processed very fast. The manuscript was accepted within 2 days after the revised manuscript was submitted, which was great. But it took a long period for the Under review in the early stage of review, and the review comments returned after two months. This was my first SCI paper in a top journal, and I can finally graduate. I wish you all the best in scientific research!

The 380th floor continued. It was really too slow. If you have time requirements, please submit your manuscripts carefully. 8.14 submitted to journal; 8.24 with editor; 9.5 under review; 9.29 under review; 10.21 under review; 11.5 under review; 11.17 under review; 12.04 under review; 12.24 under review; 2020.1.06 under revision; 20201.17 major revision. All the comments were to change English in the recommendation of major revision. Three reviewers recommended acceptance after minor revisions. 2.14 with editor; 2.28 major revision. The first reviewer still thought English was poor and required modifying the language. My English is not good, but it would not be like this. It is not so good. I found an editing agency the journal approved to polish it and issue a polishing certificate. Then I submitted it. (The polishing agency basically did not change a few places, purely for earning money). 3.14 with editor; 3.24 minor revision; 3.29 finally accepted.

Thank you for submitting your paper to the Journal of Alloys and Compounds. Although your topic is interesting, the quality of English in the manuscript does not meet our standards and needs to be improved before it can be reviewed scientifically. We encourage you to revise and resubmit the paper after addressing these language issues.
