Received: 28 January 2020; Revised: 10 February 2020; Accepted: 11 February 2020; Published: 17 February 2020. The overall speed of submission is relatively fast. But the publication fee is still relatively expensive. I don’t know when it can be searched on the Web of Science. After submission, I received a 20% discount for resubmission.

Received Date: 7 August 2019. Revised Date: 27 August 2019. Accepted Date: 29 August 2019. Published Date: 31 August 2019. The editors and reviewers are very efficiently. The questions and suggestions raised are very pointed. The revised article has improved greatly. Many thanks to the editors and reviewers. In addition, for the objective evaluation of journals, if you can pass the editor, the acceptance probability of the article is not small, and the review criteria are relatively looser than that of classic journals. Hope to become a high-quality exchange platform for basic and applied research of polymer science and give full play to the advantages of open access journals.

Polymers were said to be good for submission, but I think there were many reviewers and the reviewers’ comments were very detailed. The direction of polymer molecular dynamics simulation. Submitted on April 23, 2019. Major revision on May 14, 2019. There were a total of four reviewers’ comments, 3 comments were relatively easy to answer, but the last one was really hard to answer. When I wrote it, I did not consider too much about it, but the comments were still very pertinent. I hope that there will be a good result after the revision. May be my knowledge level is limited, so I don't think it is good to reply, but the processing speed of polymers and the serious attitude of the reviewers were still worthy of recognition. It’s not the same as what’s said on the internet that pay for it and you can publish it.

The editor is very responsible, and the review speed is also fast. 7-20 Submission; 8-3 major revision; 8-10 Revised version submitted; 8-14 accepted; 8-24 published. The submission process is standard. Two reviewers, and one of them gave a lot of constructive comments. We answered each carefully, added new data and submitted a revise version. Accepted two days later. The journal’s impact factor has shot up like a rocket. Current impact factor: 3.681, 5-year impact factor: 3.904. Many review paper, and some articles are of high quality. Citation amount in the first half of this year is already close to 80% that of 2014. I don't know if it will rise next year. At present, it is ranked Q2 of Engineering Technology by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and JCR Q1.The publication fee is somewhat expensive, 8218.00 CNY, but if the lab is willing to pay or if you need to publish soon for graduation, you can try this journal.
