It has been nearly four months from submission to now, and it has been nearly two months since review. I endure the processing speed of editor, but can’t bear the review speed of the reviewers. It has been several days after sending the reminder letter, but there is no reply. I can only say that the editing and reviewing speed of domestic journals is extremely slow. It is not recommended to those who are about to graduate; it is really to slow.

Half a month after submission, the status changed from Awaiting Admin Processing to Awaiting Reviewer Selection. It has been one month, and what is the situation? Does the reviewer agree or disagree with the review?

Let’s talk about editor Y, he had a good attitude when the impact factor was low before. Now I think his attitude isn’t good. I submitted a postgraduate thesis and urged him, but his attitude was bad and rejected it. This manuscript was submitted to a foreign journal with an impact factor which was more than 2, and it was accepted after minor revision. I reviewed many English or Chinese manuscripts from the Chinese Journal of Nonferrous Metals before. Since then, I will not review manuscripts from the Chinese Journal of Nonferrous Metals, no matter it is in Chinese or English. And I will not submitted manuscripts to the English version of the Chinese Journal of Nonferrous Metals.

I completely give up on this journal. After 7 months of review, both reviewers said that the research was meaningful and innovative and could be published. I revised the paper exactly according to the reviewer's comments, but the editor sent it to another person! This third reviewer said that I did not do statistical analysis and the study lacked novelty. In fact, I did a single factor conditional test, so there was no need for a statistical analysis. In many places of the paper, the first two reviewers asked me to change something, and then the third editor asked me to change it back. I even tried to appeal with the journal’s editor, but he said that there was no way to change the decision and I have to re-submit. Why didn’t the editorial office compare the comments of the reviewers? You think I will still submit to this journal (I have submitted 10 papers to top international journals in chemistry, mineral, and metallurgy, but this is the first time for me to see anything like this)? You can contact me to verify that this is a true story.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences clearly has a preferential treatment for different regions, so it will definitely be maintained.

Hello there! May I ask if your paper has been accepted by TNMSC? Has it been published?

(0) Thank | rough世界

I hope that the impact factor of Journal of Chinese Nonferrous Metals (English Edition) continues to rise, and I hope that the journal will remain in the first division of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2025 and 2026. Let's look forward to it together.

It has been two months since acceptance, and it is currently in the status of Awaiting Production Checklist. I also cannot find any information on CNKI. I consulted the editor and was told that it usually takes around 18 months from submission to formal publication, which means it will be published in the middle to late next year.
