About the work on the cross fusion of metallurgy and lithium-ion battery cathodes. Submitted on December 1, 2026. After more than a month in the hands of the editor, requested to reformat and resubmit. After the New Year, WILEY changed their system, so it could only be submitted through the official website. Then the long wait for the review began, until the end of February when the feedback was received. Four reviewers provided feedback, two positive, one neutral, and one negative. The editor provided an opportunity for revisions, emphasizing that if the reviewers were not convinced, the manuscript would be rejected. This led to students working day and night to conduct additional experiments (XPS sputtering, NMR) and resubmit the manuscript. The revised manuscript was returned the day before the deadline. Another long wait ensued, until June 2, 2026, when the feedback from the second review still required major revisions. The final reviewer raised doubts about the calibration of certain peaks in the surface chemistry characterization, so the students had to provide retested data and evidence from other sources to prove the validity of their arguments. After resubmission, another long wait ensued, until July 20, 2026, when the feedback from the third review was finally positive, with one reviewer acknowledging that "The manuscript is in good shape." They requested additional details on the washing process of comparative samples. After another round of waiting, the good news of acceptance finally arrived on September 3, 2026. The entire process took 9 months, but it was worth it in the end. It's not easy to publish in a good journal, so we must continue to work hard. Best wishes to everyone striving for top journals.

May I ask what status is displayed during your one-month period? Does "under review" mean it has definitely been sent for external review?

Does the status "under review" mean it is being reviewed?

Is this journal being so arrogant now? It's so slow. The submissions before were all rejected within 3 weeks.

The submission to Advanced Energy Materials has been pending for 28 days without any review comments, it's really terrible.

Trashy magazine, submitted in July, thought it had been sent for review for over a month, but unexpectedly it was rejected by the editorial department. Brothers, be aware, this crappy magazine is not even safe to be submitted for review for a month now, so submit to other publications.

3.18 Submission, first review completed on 5.18 with reviewer comments received from three reviewers, one of whom provided the same comments twice. Manuscript resubmitted on 5.30, second review completed on 7.23 with an additional reviewer added. Second round of revisions submitted on 8.2, with a new option in the system for choosing AI. The status has been "In Screening" since then. The previous submissions were under review the next day, but this time it has been almost 20 days and it is still in screening.

My recent submission has also changed to "in review", but after a few days it changed to "under review". I don't know if it's a bug caused by system updates, because the submission system has been consistently showing "under review" now, whether it's a clear signal for review.
