This terrible magazine should just close down, it's garbage among garbage. The review process is unbelievably slow, often taking a year, even after being reminded multiple times. You might as well just create an internal one for your own university. It will forever be blacklisted.

Yes. It's been a long time.

Hello, OP. Are you from Wuhan University?

May I ask if the web of science can now retrieve the information after it was received in November 2025? How long did it take from DOI to being retrievable? Thank you!

Has anyone recently submitted to this journal? The first round of review has been completed for two and a half months, but the requests for updates are just standard responses. Can anyone provide any information about the editor's situation?

The review process is relatively slow, but the revision suggestions are professional.

Will the review meeting for this rework change the reviewer?

(0) 讚！ | Qiu Yu

It took a total of 614 days, three rounds of revisions, frequent changes of reviewers, and all the reminders were template responses. It is indeed considered a top domestic journal. It is not worth considering if it is not from a certain university.

The speed is too slow and I am eager to graduate. I strongly advise caution in submitting. I have followed up twice, but my emails have been ignored. There has been no response, and I have been waiting for a decision since April, with the status only being updated in the past three months.

The efficiency of the journal is too low.

(0) 讚！ | 能不能搞快点

The efficiency of the journal is relatively low, so those who are eager to graduate are not recommended to submit manuscripts sincerely. Master students and PhD students in the first year can give it a try, but for those in the second year, if there is only one paper on this topic, it is better to wait and submit to RS.

Submitted on August 26, 2024, accepted on April 27, 2025, with a duration of 8 months. There was a major revision in the middle, and after the revision, the reviewers had no further comments. The editor provided a journal template for formatting changes. Overall, following the major revision, the subsequent two revisions were for formatting purposes.

The process is as follows, for reference only:

After my second round of minor revisions, the decision has been pending for 5 months now and there has been no news yet.

My decision has been pending for 5 months, no matter how much I urge, the editor ignores you, and the phone is always unreachable.

Do not invest, unless you have someone.
