The review speed of this journal was fast. I do research on optical sensors. The impact factor of optical journals is relatively low. It is not bad to have articles published on this journal. And this journal can give me a way out for optical sensing.

The article was submitted on April 17th, and review decisions were sent back on May 28th. A reviewer rejected the manuscript and two reviewers required minor revisions. The editor required major revisions and I returned the manuscript after two weeks. It was accepted in one week. Generally speaking, the requirements for innovation and language are relatively high. The manuscript processing efficiency is relatively high. The editors I encounter are relatively nice.

I got a reply within a week after my first submission. How lucky I was! However, because there were too many minor problems, it required a major revision by the journal editor. It was re-submitted a week later, and then accepted in another week. It was so incredible that the review period is as short as 7-day!

The review time is roughly one month (I also submitted over the holidays and the process kept moving forward).When the comments came back, I received three peer reviews (all minor revisions) that were all very professional, critical, and well-justified. Unlike JPPC, the theorical discussion published in this journal is particularly high, so if that is your focus I recommend this journal.

Now the tide is rising, and all three periodicals emphasize innovation. One minor revision and one rejection, they rejected me, frustrating.

RSC Analytical Chemistry is a classic journal, but I'm not sure why it has dropped to Q3. It seems to have higher recognition than many current Q2 analytical chemistry journals

This year, one of my papers was accepted. It took a long time when I submitted it, and I had to follow up twice. However, the two reviewers didn't ask too difficult questions and accepted it. The editor was really great. It was initially submitted to the second-tier journal, but later downgraded to the third-tier. I was sad about it. Recently, I submitted another paper because my previous experience was generally good. This time, the editor was much more efficient, and after about a month, I received feedback. It was still reviewed by two people, and they suggested major revisions. I am currently in the process of making those changes. But surprise! After just one year, it was upgraded back to the second-tier journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It was an unexpected joy. Friends, I can responsibly say that the difficulty of submitting papers is not very high, but it is slightly more challenging than the average third-tier journal and easier than a six or seven-point second-tier journal. So, let's keep up the good work and look forward to achieving a new high impact factor. I hope to break six next year.

The review took one month to receive comments, and after the revisions were submitted, it only took one week to be accepted. I don't know why the upgraded version of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is in Zone 3, but this year I scored 5 points and I hope the Chinese Academy of Sciences will be in Zone 2 for a smooth graduation.

Quite fast. Two reviewers, one minor revision, one major revision. Not many issues, but all very detail-oriented. After the modifications, it was miraculously accepted the next day. Very fast.

There is also mention by the editor that permission is required to obtain the images in the paper. The permission for most of these images can be obtained for free. Click on the official website link of the article, and usually under the article title, there will be a "right and request" option. Clicking on it and filling out the required information as per the instructions will suffice, and in most cases, the final settlement will be 0 USD. If there is indeed a need to pay, it is recommended to choose another image, haha.

I submitted a mini-review article in July 2022 and received a response after waiting for two months. During this period, the status of the manuscript kept changing between "with editor" and "peer". I received feedback from two reviewers, and the editor requested major revisions and asked for a prompt resubmission. After spending three weeks making significant adjustments to the content of the article, I resubmitted it on October 6, 2022. It was quickly sent for review and then stayed with the editor for a while. Due to concerns about the editor's request for a prompt resubmission within two weeks, I contacted the editorial office to request an extension. The editorial office replied on the same day and agreed to the extension request. The article was accepted on November 2, 2022.
