Hello, how are you doing? We should have submitted our articles around the same time, but there have been no updates after two changes in the WD.

Has the status changed?

Most people in the field of materials are familiar with Acta. I believe that even in the field of catalysis, it is unlikely that there will be a situation where peers have not heard of Acta and think that CEJ is better than Acta.

I didn't receive the email assigning an editor.

I think CEJ would be better. If you are applying for a scholarship, especially the Qing Foundation, usually more junior peers will review your application. In this case, they may not necessarily know about acta. On the other hand, if you are mainly focusing on metal materials in your application, acta would definitely be more useful.

On July 1st, I submitted my manuscript close to midnight. Later that day, it showed "with editor". On July 16th and July 18th, the status changed twice to "with editor", but it still did not show "under review". Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Thank you!

Acta is generally considered better, even for catalysis.

There is another issue that the material I work with is non-metallic and is used in metal batteries. I am not sure if it is suitable for submission to Acta. Would CEJ be a better fit? Any suggestions are welcome.

Which one is better for submitting to, Acta or CEJ in terms of photocatalysis? The quality of Acta seems higher than CEJ, but CEJ has a higher impact factor. However, I am afraid that CEJ may drop in rank.

How is it going? It's been almost a month, has it been submitted for review?

(0) 讚！ | Azreal

Yes, as you can see from the communication, I have been at WE for over half a month now.

Can't see it yet, is it only the corresponding author who will receive the email? I haven't received it in my own mailbox.
