Is this journal mandatory open access fee? I am very conflicted.

After the ACS system update, it seems that we can no longer view the submission status, as it will directly redirect to the new system.

Hello, I would like to ask if it is possible to see the status of review for this journal. From submission to assignment to an editor, the status has always been "UR". How can I know if it has been sent for review? Will there be any changes in status after it has been sent for review, or do I just have to wait?

3.21 Submission
3.22 Discovered missing supporting information, sent an email to the editorial department requesting resubmission
3.25 Editorial department returned the submission for resubmission, resubmitted on the same day
3.28 Assigned editor
4.25 Received first round of comments, two major and one minor
5.27 Was busy with household matters and delayed returning the review comments for a month, requested an extension from the editor in between
6.3 Editor sent a long list of suggestions via email, asked for reduction in length and format changes, I was confused at this point
6.5 Finished revisions at noon and returned the revised manuscript to the editor, received acceptance notification in the afternoon
After reading everyone's experiences, I feel that the speed of manuscript processing in this journal really depends on the editor. Thanks to Professor Hao Jingcheng for his miraculous speed. If it wasn't for my own delay of a month in the middle, this paper would have been accepted in just over a month. Ps: Just want to add, I think the review speed of this journal is really super fast, this is the second time submitting, and last time it was accepted in just over a month.

For the review, the old website that could be checked seems to be gone now, so we can only wait patiently.

My editor is Professor Hao. He handles things very quickly. I submitted my work on Wednesday and it was assigned to him on Sunday. After about three weeks, I received his feedback.

Do you have any comments on the manuscript in the past month?

Avoid this journal, it's so slow. Submitted on May 6th, received by editor Shaoyi Jiang on May 10th, and not informed until June 2nd that it needs to be transferred to an open-access journal in tier 3. Too slow.

Hello, I would like to ask about the follow-up. Has it been submitted for review? Will the status be updated to "in peer review" after submission?

Hello, where can I check the status to see if there is an IPR?

May I ask if the status of the new and old systems will be reviewed after submission?

Okay, thank you. Can I ask if there are any other ways to know if the submission has been reviewed besides asking the editor? Are there any changes displayed in the new and old systems?

I just distributed the editing to everyone for sending emails, not for review.

Hello, I would like to ask if the editorial board will send an email to the authors for communication or other purposes? How can we check if the submission has been sent for review?

Hello, I would like to inquire if this journal will send emails to the corresponding author or all authors for submission.

Correction, I asked the editor and they replied that it has already been peer-reviewed. Now, both the old and new systems do not show that it has been submitted for review, which is very strange. Asking for a lenient reviewer to handle the revisions.

It's been half a month, and it's been in the hands of the editor the whole time, with no updates on the status.

May I ask, how long does it take for this to be reviewed after it's been assigned to this editor?

(0) 讚！ | Augu*tumn

Excuse me, I am also an editor. How long will it take to get the results? How are you doing now?

My editor, like you, submitted on the 4.7th and is still under review. I sent an email inquiring about it, and received this response: "Your manuscript (la-2025-01661u) has been sent out for review. We have recently secured the required number of reviewers. As a general guideline, agreed reviewers are usually given three weeks to review a manuscript of Article type, though it may take longer to receive enough reviews to make a decision. You will be informed as soon as possible of Prof. Hong's decision once the required reviews have been received."

5.6 submission, 5.10 editing. The new system only displays received submissions. To check if it has been sent for review, you need to go to the old system and check within "ACS Paragon Plus" at https://acs.manuscriptcentral.com/acs?externalSsoSystemId=420862296&code=c984047ca5853a3fbca8cb3a0133f98c7bad&nonce=3a352df73ba73. If you are unable to access the link, a Bilibili UP owner has also shared a method for checking: https://www.bilibili.com/opus/739239991518953475. Hope this helps, good luck with your papers!

5.3 Submission
On 5.8 UC, after checking, an additional contact email for editing appeared below the system. Does this mean it has been submitted for review? This is my first time submitting, so I'm not too sure. Is there anyone who understands this?
