Acceptance notice received at 00:01 am 2021 Beijing time! Thumb up to the high efficiency of the journal! The following is the timeline of each stage. I hope to give you a reference. 2020.11.20 submitted; 2020.11.22 under consideration; 2020.12.22 minor revise. There was one reviewer, who required us to add literature, shorten the introduction and conclusion, but he did not mention any issues related to experimental content. 2020.12.24 revision submitted. The revision was completed in less than one day. It was much troublesome to re-number the references after adding some more literature. 2020.12.26 under consideration. The Christmas holiday did not delayed review 2020.12.31 accept. At this time, it is exactly 0:00 Beijing time. This article was rejected by some Chinese editors from other SCI journals for 5 or 6 times. The main point was that the number of experiments was not enough compared to other articles in the journal. Don’t be afraid of your submission being rejected. I hope everyone will get what you want, and I hope this journal will return to be the top journal of Q2 this year!

2020.01.24 submitted; 2020.01.25 under consideration; 2020.03.22 major revision was required; there were two reviewers; 2020.04.22 revision submitted; 2020.04.23 under consideration; 2020.05.03 minor revision was required; another reviewer was found; 2020.05.06 under consideration; 2020.05.07 under consideration; 2020.05.08 accepted. Under consideration changed 9 times during the review period. It is estimated that they were looking for reviewers. It changed 4 times during minor revisions. The article was about a small phenomenon I found before, which was just interesting, but I didn't dare to expect it to be accepted. Thus, I am very grateful for the journal's approval. Editor Naiqin Zhao is very nice.

2019.8.1 submitted, 2019.8.4 under consideration, 2019.8.4–8.20 status changed several times, under consideration, 2019.8.20 major revisions (three reviewers, each reviewer asked three to four questions) 2019.9.9 submitted, 2019.9.9–9.23 status changed several times again, under consideration. 2019.9.23 I received an accepted email. The submission experience of this article was rather bumpy. I submitted it to the CARBON. The editor required a major revision. One of the reviewers commented so intensely that it made me feel uncomfortable. This may be the case. Perhaps the modification was not detailed enough that it was finally rejected. It took more than three months. After all, it is my first article and I was in a hurry to acceptance. I directly submitted to Journal of Materials Science. I hope that the impact factor of JMS will continue to increase. After all, it is a classic journal. I hope that more good articles could be included, and articles could be of excellent quality. Come on!

Let me talk about this legendary experience. 7.1 submit. 7.2 under consideration. 7.14 under consideration. 7.19 under consideration. 7.26 under consideration. 8.2 under consideration. 8.3 major. There are three reviewers with three minor revisions. However, the editor required major revisions. 8.7 revision submit. 8.8 under consideration. 8.29 under consideration. 9.4 under consideration. I received the acceptance email at noon. It was weird that the email was never received from the beginning to the end. The teacher never received it, either. All were sent to the fourth author. Three minor revisions bothered me for a month.

I am very honored to have had two articles published in this journal.  The first article was accepted three months after submission with one round of review and revision. The second article was accepted a month after I submitted major revisions.

No, it's Chris Cornelius. Anyway, it's super slow, basically every decision is measured in months.

Is David P. Cann the editor-in-chief of the journal where your paper is being processed?

(0) Thank | 世界的尽头

I returned for rework and up until now, I am still in the same state, with no further developments. This state has lasted for a month since the first review.

How long does it usually take for these reviews completed to turn into accept? I saw this status on April 30th and it still hasn't changed.
