Hmm, my article was accepted yesterday, and I received the email. This journal is really efficient, thanks to the hard work of editor Dong Chen. It is currently the fastest journal I have submitted to!

The review process is quite fast, submitted at the end of April 26th, received reviewers' comments on June 9th, and revised today, looking forward to the results.
There are a total of four reviewers, and their comments are quite professional, pointing out the shortcomings of my model.
The editorial processing speed is quite fast, and the overall efficiency of the journal seems good for the first experience!
Looking forward to the journal getting better and better!

What are the final opinions?

The speed is quite fast, I initially thought there were 2 reviewers, but when receiving feedback from both of them, it was still in the "Required reviewers complete" stage, and the number of reviewers accepted increased to 5. Oh my god!

I want to laugh. Finally, on May 21st, it's under review. But I'm already prepared to withdraw and run away.

CES is better than CEJ in the field of chemical engineering.

Really ???, the journal has been promoted to Tier 1, and the number of submissions has increased drastically. The editors are overwhelmed and most submissions are "with editor". I really don't recommend submitting to this journal. Even though it is one of the top three journals in the field of chemical engineering, I suggest choosing the other two. If you are not in the field of chemical engineering and want to target Tier 1 journals, choose CEJ instead.

It's been a month, and we are still in the same situation. How do others handle similar situations?

I submitted my contribution around the same time as you. It's also for WE, and the date hasn't changed until now.

The three major chemical journals are indeed well-deserved of their reputation. Although the impact factor is not high, they clearly demonstrate professional review standards. It should be difficult to get accepted again.

The first submission to the three major chemical industry journals went relatively smoothly. Submitted on 10.29, under review on 11.10 with 0/1/2, on 11.17 with 0/2/3 (another invitation was accepted by 2 people), on 12.10 rrc 2/2/3, on 12.13 minor revisions, on 12.22 returned for revisions, on 12.29 with 0/2/2, on 1.5 with 2/2/2 acceptance. Many thanks to the editors and reviewers for working during Christmas and New Year's. From submission to acceptance in just over two months, wishing the journal continued success!
