20190705 accepted; 20190704 minor revision submission; 20190617 return comment for minor revision; 20190610 major revision submitted; 20190529 comment returned for major revision; 20190425 under review 20190418 submission. It took a total of 80 days. The first major revision was required mainly because the manuscript format was too messy, and there were many grammatical errors and formatting errors. But actually there were few substantial changes. The editor Michael Silverstein processes the manuscript very quickly, and he will give you the result within one day after with editor.

2019.4.13 submit; 2019.4.15 under editor; 2019.4.23 under review; 2019.4.26 under review; 2019.6.3 with editor evaluation; 2019.6.4 reject. It doesn't make much sense for reviewer comments. They didn't read the article carefully and didn’t understand the chemical reactions. Among 9 questions, 7 were speechless, and of course 2 were useful.

Hello, have your circumstances changed?

Submitted on 2025.1.25, and everyone received the confirmation email on 1.27. It has been ten days since then and the status is still "Submitted to Journal". The official website says they will reply within 7 days, can we expect to hear back before graduation?

It's a bit dangerous if it lasts more than ten days.

Please make a note. It has been 20 days since it was submitted on January 17, 2025, and it is still in Submitted to Journal status. Is this normal?

Can I ask if Polymer will send emails to every author? Why did it only send emails to the first three?

(0) Thank | dreamboatlzb

When submitting a polymer manuscript, do they only send emails to the first three authors? After I submitted, the fourth author and corresponding author did not receive any emails.

Hello, may I ask how many reviewers are assigned to review this?

(0) Thank | 小少爷。。。

The review process is very slow, so if you are in a hurry to graduate, do not choose this journal. Additionally, the submission system is not user-friendly, as it requires the email of the corresponding author. It was difficult for me to find my teacher's email, and I had to wait for two days before finally being able to contact them for the last step.

Submitted to the system on December 2nd, with editor on December 12th, rejected on December 30th, with the suggestion that it should be published in a more applied journal. I have made no judgment as to the manuscript's quality.

This journal is generally good. Submissions in July 2024 are accepted in about three months. I hope it can maintain its status as a Q2 journal.

Can Polymer still retain its second district next year, with so many adjustments to the impact factor?

(0) Thank | 浩气

It has been 12 days since submission, but still no response. I have inquired with the editorial team during this period, but there has been no reply.

In the editor's hands for a month, just submitted for review.

Brother, do you have results for your paper yet? How is the progress of the review going?

(0) Thank | YuanYuan

Brother, how is your paper going now? Can you let me know the progress and timeline for the review process? Mine has been submitted to the journal for 10 days already, and I am thinking about reaching out for a status update directly.
