The editor and reviewers are very friendly. It is my first accepted paper. I am graceful. It took 4 months from submission to acceptance. With editor lasted one month. I guessed he was looking for the reviewers. It took one month for making the decisions for the first review. I was given one month to make major revision and supplement the experiments. I revised it for one month. It was reviewed for another month after submission, and then accepted. The following is the whole process, for your information. I submitted on September 30, 2018. The result returned on October 2, 2018, technical revision; I revised and resubmitted it on the same day. It was with editor on November 3, 2018, under review on November 6, 2018, and under editor evaluation on November 26, 2018. The result of first review came out on December 4, 2018, major revision, it was just one month. Revision submitted to the journal on December 29, 2018. It was sent back on December 31, 2018, and the editor asked to revise the highlights. Revision submitted to journal on December 31, 2018. It was under review on January 2, 2019. Required reviews completed on January 30, 2019. The decision of acceptance was made on February 2, 2019.

The cycle difference is really big. Our laboratory has submitted papers for the journal three times. One paper was accepted but two were rejected. I was told by other researchers that their review comments were returned very quickly, and there would be opinions in a month or so; however, the response was very slow in my experience. Indeed, as everyone said, the reviewers raised the issue of language. They recommended that I  find a native speaker. JPS is very fond of dyeing sensitized solar cells and quantum dot sensitized solar cells.

All reviewers agreed to accept the submission, and the editor made some minor formatting revisions. However, considering that the journal's impact factor has decreased, it was later decided not to make further changes and instead switch to a different journal. The main issue is that this decision has caused a delay of six months, which is quite disappointing.

Not rejecting your submission is because you have the ability, not because we are buddies!

This magazine seems to accept all submissions, as the rejection rate is likely very low.

It's so slow. It has been sent back for revisions for 10 days and it's still with the editor.

Did this journal not pay the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so it has dropped to the third district? It won't be the fourth district next year, right?

How long does it usually take for the manuscript to go to "With editor" status after the first review?

Which editor are you?

Yes, I've been at RRC for a month already, the editor didn't even bother to take a look, quite speechless.

I'm really fed up! How can the review process of this journal be so slow? I submitted my manuscript in October last year, and now the results of the second revision are still not out. It's been half a year already, how can the efficiency of the editor be so low? And this year it even dropped to the third tier... I'm speechless...

Peer review is a process in which experts in a particular field evaluate and provide feedback on a scholarly work before it is published or accepted for publication.

Damn it, is it competition among peers? The newly published journal "Energy Storage" next to us, suspected of criticism and belittlement.

Sep 22, 2024 submitted to journal
Oct 5, 2024 minor revision
Oct 6, 2024 revised
Oct 10, 2024 accepted
Oct 16, 2024 available online

After numerous rejections from several journals, I finally submitted to JPS. After making significant revisions, there were a total of over ten comments from two reviewers, which were relatively easy to address. The article was published in less than a month, marking the fastest submission process I have experienced.

JPS was originally well-regarded in the field of battery safety, with many key articles being published there. However, it is disheartening to see that in the new classification system introduced in 2025, the journal has dropped from being a top tier 2 journal to a lower tier 3 category.

Two experiences: In the second review, three reviewers left and three more were added. One of the three reviewers who left in the third review came back and rejected it, and the editor referred to this opinion and rejected it.

In the first review, both reviewers gave positive feedback, and the revised version was accepted. The editor directly rejected the manuscript. What's the point of sending it for review if you're not going to consider the reviewers' opinions? Now people are constantly switching to open-source journals they've never heard of, like NEXT.

It is suggested to avoid pitfalls. The submission was made in March 2024, and the first round of major revisions involved six reviewers who provided dozens of comments. In the second round, several new reviewers were consulted, and the manuscript went through a total of three rounds of revisions before being accepted in January 2025. This is just the way CNS operates, and it's no wonder it fell into the third quartile.
