First foreign English SCI paper. Submission on April 19, 2019, Under Review on June 10, major revisions required on October 2, return manuscript with major revisions on October 20, then with editor till acceptance on December 12. It was generally fairly slow, but John Anthony Francis was very serious and responsible.

I submitted an English review. As everyone knows, English review is not easy to write and submit. I felt it deeply. I firstly submitted it to Journal of Thermal Spray Technology after finishing writing, unexpectedly, general comments were made, and it was rejected. 1. 2019.06.06, submission. 2. 2019.07.09, review comments were received. 3. 2019.08.05, resubmitted the revision. 4. 2019.08.06, accept. 5. 2019.08.20, online. The requirement shown in the system was rewrite, and on month was given. As one chapter was not written correctly, editor and two reviewers made comments. Seeing from the comments given by the editor, he must be one of the most cutting-edge research team in my field, and his team did the most in-depth theoretical research in my field. At that time, I felt a little broken. How could I surpass their team and write newer things in the review, but my family still encouraged me to stand on the shoulders of giants, so I summoned up the courage to read all the theoretical papers of their team. Finally, I rewrote that chapter. The comments of the two reviewers were not too tough; there were some issues that needed to be explained clearly. The whole process was awesome, it lasted two months from submission to online, which was much faster than I expected. If I returned the manuscript faster, it would be faster.

This journal is overall not bad. I received many comments and a total of 27 overall. The response speed is still very fast. The journal requested a revised draft before June 1 and a reminder email was sent. Two days after the submission, a reply was sent to reduce the abstract to less than 120 words. The overall submission experience is still very smooth. Journals have a template that can help to modify their own article format, saving a lot of effort. Yes, the journal requires embedding images in the manuscript, but the overall manuscript cannot exceed 15M.The resolution of the image I inserted in the manuscript was reduced to a small size. When the image is submitted separately, the manuscript is too large to be submitted.

Still thinking about the possibility of an increase, but it's not very likely. If we consider the impact factor within the discipline, shouldn't there be a subcategory 3?

Now we have four zones.

I searched on the official website, but didn't find anything. Now it's embarrassing, there's no Chinese Academy of Sciences division, but we can use the JCR division as a substitute, it can be treated as a fourth-tier journal. There was no warning either, I was hoping to increase my impact factor a bit this year and return to the top 3, but it seems like I was expecting too much. I didn't go back, and now I'm completely gone.

I have been waiting for more than two months for the reviewers to make a decision. I have also sent emails but have not received any response. What should I do?

Awaiting Reviewer Selection for nearly two months, what is going on?

(0) Thank | WANG123.

Is it two months after the revision or waiting for the reviewer's rating? Are there classmates in the same situation?

Hello classmate, may I ask how your paper review progress is going currently?

(0) Thank | 钰yyj

Could you please tell me if when I submit a manuscript to the materials science and technology journal using my corresponding author account, will I be able to see the proof in the submission system, or will it only be sent to the corresponding author? Will I receive a notification in the recent emails in case I miss it?

(0) Thank | indig0

Does anyone know how to select the corresponding author in the new system? Why can't we choose the corresponding author, it seems like the default is to designate the first author as the corresponding author.
