It is the worst journal I have ever seen! After I waited for more than two months, there was only one reviewer comment, saying that the repetition rate was too high! The editor was Polish Adam Pron

April 30 Submission; June 3 Rejected. The editor rejected the manuscript very quickly. The reason is that it has nothing to do with the application. I have never understood which aspect this journal focuses on.

The speed is very fast. With editor within 24 hours; under review within two days; comments came back two weeks later; accepted in three days after minor revisions. Like it! It’s an old brand journal, and has a good reputation. Very awesome!

The group has sent a total of six synthetic metals articles, with a response rate that was sometimes very slow (11 months), sometimes very fast (only one month) My feeling is that the review and acceptance speed is related to the level of the article.  Compared with other journals between 1.0 and 2.5, the journal is created by the 2000 Nobel Prize winners Heeger, Hideki, and Macdiarmid. Most of the research content is related to conductive polymers. A recent published article was submitted 7.30, received comments 8.20, revised over a few days, 9.5 accepted, 10.6 online version, and was selected 11.1 as published cover article. Edits were relatively friendly.

The article on perovskite materials was reviewed very quickly. The review comments were returned within 15 days, with only two minor revisions required. The editor was very professional, and the feedback was very constructive.

Everyone must be cautious when submitting to this journal, as the efficiency is exceptionally slow.
Below are specific dates for reference.
20210309: Submission
20210421: First-round review comments for revision, major revision and rejection, editor gives chance for major revision
20210519: Reply to first-round review comments
20210918: Reject
From the first-round review reply to the rejection notice, it took a total of 3 months (with one reminder email in between)... Exhausting, speechless...

Now the review speed of SYNTH MET is really impressive, and its development should continue to improve.

The old journal, in the traditional polymer function and researchThe word of mouth is very good.Because of the publication cycle, coupled with the discipline, the impact factor is not warm.In theory, it is a good journal. It is really sad to be placed in the three districts.

I am studying polymer conductive fiber materials.In January 2014, an article was selectd. In April, a reviewer gave a revised opinion, asking the preamble to be prominent, and there were no other problems. After the revision, it was received and published in July.In early June 2015, I selectd for an article. At the end of August, I was still under review. I sent a letter to the editor, and I acceptd it a few days later. The Internet has already come out, and it was published in November.After the second post, the third article was submitted. After one week, the manuscript was rejected. One reviewer believed that the content was not suitable for synthetic metals, and suggested to switch to a more professional journal.Personally feel that this journal is still relatively good, the editor is also more responsible, and the speed is also very fast, it is easier than other journals in the second district.

I haven't seen the net yet, I am looking forward to it.Everyone said it was very slow, but in less than three months, the reviewers were more responsible.PS: Ask everyone, how long does it take to see the net after SYNTHETIC METALS?

I saw a lot of people saying that this journal is slow, it may be that my luck is better, the review is very fast, after about 8 days with the editor, it is under review.After about 30 days, the required review completed (in fact, it was shown once in 20 days).A total of two reviewers.After 2 to 3 days, dicision.The question raised is also very simple. In fact, it is a small change, but epstein gave revision, and did not say major or minor. The two-month revision period, in order to show the importance, I dragged it for more than a month before returning.Waited for another 20 days and accepted it directly.I hope that everyone

After the submission, it was very slow and reminded twice. After six months, the first review comments were given. After the revision, the editor was sent to the trial for one month, and the trial was given for three months.Refused, it took me 11 months in total, and the timeliness of the article was gone...
