Two words for this journal: too deceiving! Submitted in mid-August 2019. I received the review comments in November, and the time given to revise was two months, but the question is not too difficult. I finished replying within about two weeks and submitted the paper again. Then it has been under reviewed until mid-February. I don’t know what editor Zhang does... The strange thing is that at different times during this period, the editor-in-chief also asked me to review two other articles. The time given for review is three weeks. I helped your journal carefully review two articles for free, so why is my own article still nowhere in sight... Editor in chief, what do you mean??? I will definitely not submit here again in the future.

I research in the field of phase change energy storage. I have read a lot of articles in this journal, so I tried to submit once before graduation. Fortunately, I met the editor Zhang. The reviewers were very professional, and the review comments provided were very pertinent and valuable. There were some aspects that we had not considered before. After revisions are made according to the reviewers and editors’ comments, it was submitted, and the next day after submission, it got accepted successfully. Although I had already graduated, I would like to thank the editor Zhang. I hope SOLMAT will get better and better!

This year, I just finished my master’s graduation thesis defense and then submitted the paper. It was on about June 20th, one and a half months after submission, the review comments were given. We revised it for a month and then returned it. It was then accepted the next day. One of the reviewers is the editor-in-chief Zhengguo Zhang.

My article was accepted in May, now online. The paper took 15 months from writing to publication, first to JHM, and three months later to Reject. Then I went to Separation and Purification (SEP). After two months of overhaul, I revised the submission, and again Reject. I suggested changing to Short Communication and then I resubmitted.

Thank you, editor-in-chief, I really appreciate you, although I won't mention your name. You are such a kind-hearted editor, I hope the journal will continue to improve. Everyone should consider submitting to this journal more. Even though it may be a bit slow, the editor-in-chief is still efficient, while the reviewers keep delaying.

Extremely slow, the repairs haven't made any progress yet after returning, and we found that system status changes require a month each time. Please invest with caution

I have to comment that it has been 20 days since I submitted my article, but there is no response from the editor. The speed is extremely slow and I can't help but complain
