2020.02.08 Submission; 2020.02.09 The system sent an email to confirm the submission; 2020.02.09 under review; 2020.03.03 Comments returned, major revision, 45 days; 2020.04.06 The revised manuscript was sent back, and the status changes to under review; 2020.04.21 accept Prof. Debora Berti, PhD Co-Editor Journal of Colloid and Interface Science. The following is my personal experience: this journal still values innovation, and the other thing is the integrity of the story. In addition to response to the reviewer’s suggestions in detail, the editor also gave a general opinion, including the format, grammar, and summary of innovations and so on, which should be answered one by one. The conclusion should be written strictly following the requirements of the journal. The paper has been polished, and I don’t know whether the other minor revisions are the same.

9.16 Submission; 9.17 with editor; 11.06 major revision; 12.21 submit revision; 12.26 accept. The opinions given by the two reviewers were very professional. In my opinion, the journal had high requirements for innovation and novelty, and it was likely to be rejected or transferred for lack of innovation; in short, the processing efficiency of the journal was very high but the reviewers’ comments came late. If you are required to submit Credit Author Statement and Declaration of Interest statement during the second submission for review, it means that the editor value your paper and the article has an 80% chance of acceptance.

Aug 7 Submitted to Journal, Aug 8 With Editor, Aug 21 Revision Submitted to Journal, Aug 21 With Editor, Aug 21 Under Review, Date change, Sep 15, Major Revision, 45 days for revision, Sep 18 Revision Submitted to Journal, Sep 19 With Editor, Sep 19 Accept, Sep 20 Article published online. Good luck. I wish that every article would be accepted. It is my second article in Journal of Colloid and Interface Science. There were two reviewers. One that was a peer from large fields of research, required major revision and raised eight questions. The other had positive opinions. The editor was Prof. Julian Eastoe, the same as the first time. The editor previewed for a day or two. Pay attention to the journal format when submitting: three-paragraph abstract and came to the conclusion with references. The editor commented that “Competition for journal space in JCIS is very stiff (the rejection rate is over 70%)”. Rejection rate was about 70%.

I think the journal is very good, the review is fast, and the editor is absolutely responsible. Personally feel that the originality of the articles are relatively high. Two reviewers: 1 review raised 10 small questions). 1 review proposed a supplementary experiment and a small common sense problem.

Is there a review preference option for this journal? I can't seem to find it in the system...

Hello, I would like to ask about the situation where there is no review preference in the JCIS system.

The journals of Elsevier seem to be quite slow in terms of DIP.

Is there something wrong internally with this journal? Why is the DIP process so slow? Just reject the submission directly, there's no need to keep holding onto it. What's the point of being so stubborn?

We wanted to email them immediately after dipping our toes in the water for a week to reject their offer and move on to the next candidate.
