First, the 4-page communication layout is not a problem for the data volume of articles from 10 years ago. Today, sticking to just 4 pages, how much data and text can be accommodated? It would be a real development to expand to 6 pages. Additionally, these editors at RSC are extremely unfriendly towards authors they do not know (i.e. non-relatives). The journal has now become a tool for their own social purposes and to pay tribute to the big shots.

No wonder it's getting worse and worse. I submitted a paper to this journal with an impact factor of 4, thinking it was a reputable chemistry journal, but it was not sent for review. The reason given was that one of the figures was too small and there was too much information in the SI, making it unsuitable for communication. I will not submit to this journal again, and I will not cite it in the future.

Now, reviewers are increasingly looking at whether the person is an insider or outsider in the field. They have high expectations for small research teams, while big shots are being lenient, no wonder the more they do, the worse it gets.

You work really efficiently! The papers I submitted at the same time are still in the hands of the reviewers, it's frustrating.

Manuscript Submission 24.12.21
With Editorial Office 24.12.23
With Editor 24.12.23 Foreign Christmas holidays, no change
With Reviews 25.1.5 (0/2)
With Reviews 25.1.8 (1/2)
With Reviews 25.1.13 (2/2) Two reviewers requested major revisions, editor provided a revision time (21 days? One month? Not very clear)
Manuscript Revisions 25.1.26
With Reviews 25.1.27 (0/2)
Manuscript Accepted 25.1.31 Editor only returned the comments from the first reviewer (Accept), not sure if the other reviewer left or the editor didn't want to wait
Published Online 25.2.6
In conclusion, as a well-established journal, ChemComm hopes for better journal management. The impact factor has been declining in recent years and risks falling into the third or fourth quartile. Please, let's not let it drop any further!!! (Praying hands)

How can we see that two reviewers have already accepted the invitation and submitted their comments?

How long does it usually take for everyone to receive the publishing license? I still haven't received the publishing license and proof documents.

Hello, I would like to ask if you are also in the field of silicate? Can I submit to this journal? Will the scope be suitable?

May I ask how to know when the opinions of two reviewers are conflicting and how long it takes for the editor to find a third reviewer?

(0) 讚！ | wkikiw

The efficiency of the journal editors is very high. Usually, there are two reviewers, but when their initial opinions differ, the editor will send the manuscript to a third reviewer. In the end, a major revision was requested. The review comments were returned about 3 weeks later, and the acceptance decision was made in 4-5 days. Thankful to the journal and the editors.
