The American Physical Society's flagship journal, Physical Review A, has seen an increase in the number of articles published over the past two years. However, the difficulty remains high, and the quality of the papers is very high, making them very representative and groundbreaking in the field.

Received a few months ago, the impact factor was cut in half, and the journal has been downgraded to tier two in the Chinese Academy of Sciences rankings. The operations of this publishing house are very poor.

How many reviewers does this journal usually have? How long does it usually take to receive reviewer's feedback after submission?

The application was submitted on January 31st, but it is still in "Under consideration" status as of February 13th. The internal review process is quite slow

The efficiency of handling scripts by the screenwriter is decent, with two previous submissions being rejected within three days. The most recent submission took two weeks for review, with major and minor revisions before acceptance, totaling about four months from start to finish. The journal, "APR," is highly reputed in the field of applied physics, with over one hundred articles published annually. Approximately 30% of these articles are authored by Chinese researchers, with reviews and articles each accounting for about half of the publications. Reviews are mostly by invitation, while articles, numbering in the tens each year, are more challenging to submit

Speed is fine, but it's a physics-based area

The quality of APR is quite good, and its development is also getting better. Reviewers generally respond within two weeks, and editors also respect the opinions of reviewers

The latest upgraded version in December 2021, why is it in the second district and not a top-tier journal? Is it to surpass domestic journals?

I received an invitation to submit a review article from the APR editor because of other research articles I had already published. At that time, I happened to be writing a review article, so I asked the editor if it would be acceptable. They said it was, but they mentioned that the scope of my original content was too small and asked me to expand it and write a longer article. They gave me a deadline of six months. Following the editor's advice, I completed the writing and submitted it. The editor and two reviewers provided feedback, and while there were no major issues, one of the reviewers pointed out twice that the direction of my review did not align with the scope of the APR journal. After my first explanation was ineffective, I responded and made revisions, which were then accepted. It seems that the editor held more authority in this decision. Despite some difficulties, the overall process went smoothly, and communication with the editor was very smooth and efficient, leaving me with a positive impression.
