Have you noticed? This journal has become open access~ Yesterday in the Web of Science, I suddenly caught a glimpse of my articles, which is OA. Because the team has not chosen OA, I was wondering how it can be OA. I visited the official website of Polymer Testing and found that it has officially converted to an OA journal since in January 2021~

I submitted the manuscript on January 8. With editor lasted 33 days. It took 13 days to invite the reviewers. It was under review on February 26. Is this speed normal? It was too long for with editor. I planned to resubmit to another journal during that period, and it is quite unexpected to under review.

My paper was rejected so I’ll say this journal has got quite a lot of competition for acceptance. Good luck to everyone hoping for good news.

The reviewers of polymer testing were really meticulous. All three reviewers provided quite a lot of feedback. I had to make major revisions three times and minor revisions once before it could finally be accepted. It was really not easy.
