I submitted the manuscript on February 4, and it was sent for review within one day. On March 5 reviewer comments were given, major revision, two reviewers, very pertinent comments. Fluorescent probe direction. I had an idea at the end of December, I made a compound in January, which was very simple. Finished writing, it was in time for the holiday, the article was submitted in a hurry, and there were many issues that were not paid attention to. Thank the reviewers for their detailed comments, which improved the article a lot. This is the smoothest submission so far. Thank you. On March 15 revised submission; on April 6 acceptance.

I submitted the manuscript in June 2019. There was a reply in December 2019. Two reviewers. One reviewer recommended minor revisions, just a few format corrections; one reviewer rejected it without giving any reason. The date changed three times in the intermediate review status, and it had been under review for 5 months, and it was to wait for the editor's evaluation result at the end stage. I studied vegetation spectroscopy, and the editor gave me the opinion that the journal audience might not be interested in it and rejected the manuscript. In short, it was mainly up to the editor himself and the comments of the reviewer may only be the editor's reference. It is recommended that everyone should be careful when submitting articles.

It was submitted on January 10th, and the status has always been “submitted to journal”. It took more than ten days to become “with editor” and it was sent for review within a few days, starting from February 9th. I received the replies on March 10th. Two reviewers, one had no comments, and the other required a minor revision. This was my first submission, and I was very grateful for them. The editing efficiency is quite high. It was sent for review after my revised submission, and then accepted in another one day. Good wishes!

This journal is published by Elsevier. You have to go through their technical screening first before they review your manuscript. Some other journals would review the manuscript content first. One thing that is good is you can see the review status. You can track at what step of submission your manuscript is at from receipt to under review. Unlike RSC, they only say under review and send out a decision letter. The quality of the papers published in this journal is mixed. Some were not cited even once in a two-year period. However, within the field of spectrochemistry, this journal is still a solid one. At least it’s better than Luminescence.

Is dip waiting to be rejected?

The process didn't feel too slow, maybe I was lucky. Submitted on 2.07, received feedback on 3.12, with one major and one minor revision. Fixed and returned on 3.19, and accepted on 3.21.

Stop talking nonsense about the new issue being released, 2nd district is still better. Don't get people excited for no reason.

The review speed is a bit slow. I don't know if the journal will remain in the second tier this year. I hope someone knowledgeable can provide an answer.

The major revisions suggested by two reviewers were rejected by the editor and the manuscript was not allowed to be resubmitted elsewhere.

It's been a month, and it still shows "Decision in Process." Does that mean it's a rejection? Are there any journals recommended for spectroscopy that are easy to get into?

In the submission system, there is no place to see recommended reviewers.

I couldn't find a place to recommend reviewers in the submission system, did you include it in the cover letter?

I pushed a few.

Hello, do we need to recommend reviewers when submitting to this journal?

(0) Thank | 奋斗的小熊

There has been no news since the submission on January 20th. Why is the journal so slow in reviewing submissions for January?

(0) Thank | 洋洋洋

May I ask what is your current status? I applied for the position of managing editor around the same time as you.

A paper with a tumultuous fate, it went through three rejections after editing, then underwent major revisions before resubmission, only to be rejected again upon resubmission. After another round of revisions, it was sent for review, underwent minor edits, was rejected once more, and faced another rejection from the editor. In total, it went through five cycles before being submitted to SAA, hoping for acceptance.

In general, it was a bit slow in finding reviewers, but everything else is acceptable. I wish everyone to be accepted soon!
