The proposal was accepted three months after submission. I hope the peer review process will be faster for the manuscript later.

This journal is high quality and high efficiency in reviewing and returning papers, and it takes a relatively short time for the process of proof and publication.

Submission on January 25, 2025.
No news for about a month and a half, followed up once, only to receive a vague response.
On May 2, 2025, the submission was not reviewed and was rejected.
It took three and a half months for the editor to finish reading and evaluating the article, only to reject it. The responding editor was Francesca Maria Toma.
Beware of journal editors who are irresponsible and delay for months. People submit papers for scholarships, doctoral applications, or practical use. Only PSM can procrastinate for months like this. At least review it before rejecting it, don't just leave it hanging.

May I ask how many reviewers?

I want to ask, it has been over ten days since I submitted the proposal, but it still shows the status as "submitted to journal". Is this normal?

The submission process went smoothly, and I did put in a lot of effort in writing. I was pleasantly surprised when my piece was accepted after a major revision, something I had never dreamed of before.

I'm a little confused. Isn't the acceptance of the proposal determined by internal editors? Why does it need to be sent for external review? Can any experts clarify this for me?

(0) Thank | advanced soft materials

Could you please tell me if there is a high possibility of the initial draft being rejected after the proposal has been accepted?

It's okay, I've been working on it for three months, on and off. I will be going to MIT next month to do postdoctoral research. I hope this article can be of some help.
