The total time taken was 84 days, which is relatively smooth, but there were many waiting periods that were quite long, such as waiting for 2 weeks for the associate editor to send for review, and waiting for 1 week for acceptance of the minor revisions.

Will the review committee receive an email notification after the modifications are made?

Be careful, the leader wants to talk to you.

The feedback has come back, with revisions suggested. The reviewer is really something, providing over 40 suggestions. My brain can hardly keep up.

One less journal in the field of physics that can be submitted to. Originally, the order of submission was NC, PRL, Optica, Nano Letters, then downgraded to LPR, ACS Photonics, and AOM. Now Nano Letters is no longer an option. For engineering applications in optics, only Optica and ACS Photonics are available for submission. The domestic journals with impact factors above 10 are not interested in my articles.

Professional physics. My impression has always been that it is a very good article. Just a week ago, it was ranked as the second tier. Nano Research is back to the top tier, I understand that. But one step forward, one step back, I don't understand. What's even more puzzling is that the sub-journals of Nano Research have all become top tier. Ah, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Library is really... amazing.

My assignment is to be allocated to Wang Haotian, two reviewers, one small and one large, and then accepted.

How do I know when it's ready for submission?

It's been a month since I submitted my work, but I still haven't heard anything.

No big deal, it's just a Nature Index journal after all. The domestic Chinese Academy of Sciences zones are ultimately used for the assessment of most ordinary universities, making it easier for ordinary researchers and students to graduate. In the end, truly good research institutions still look at the Nature Index, and in the current situation, publishing an article in Nano Letters is only icing on the cake. The real determining factor is still the need to start with a small journal to become a true researcher, only then will they consider you a person. It's too tough, too difficult.

How is Wooyoung Shim as an editor? Is there a high chance of approval?

The fact is, whether we care or not about foreign care, if we cannot change others, we should first change ourselves in a self-deceptive way, as the fallacy becomes truth after it is repeated a thousand times.

Nano Research and its subsidiary journal Nano Research Energy have been promoted to Tier 1, while Nano Energy and Nano Letters have been promoted to Tier 2 and demoted to Tier 3, respectively.

Current plan: Submit low-quality articles to domestic journals, submit medium-quality articles to Nano Letters and Nano Energy, and submit high-quality articles to top journals.

The strategic competition between China and the United States is playing out in the Chinese Academy of Sciences' different research divisions.

This is outrageous! How could Nano Letters drop to Tier 2? This is simply disrespectful to the entire field of nanotechnology! As one of the top journals, the influence of Nano Letters is undeniable. It has made significant contributions in the areas of nanomaterials, nanodevices, condensed matter physics, and has consistently published high-quality cutting-edge research. How could it possibly be downgraded?

What are the standards for the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) ranking? Other journals with lower impact factors and fewer citations can still remain in Tier 1, while a well-recognized top journal like Nano Letters is pushed down to Tier 2. This is simply unacceptable! It is unfair to authors, researchers seeking promotion, and those applying for funding! Are we all going to have to start submitting to mediocre journals just to chase after the "Tier 1" status, instead of focusing on the value of the research itself?

Research should not be held hostage by these rankings, but the reality forces everyone to compromise with these standards. This downgrade not only affects the academic evaluation of researchers, but also impacts the recognition of top journals in the domestic scientific community. It is truly infuriating and frustrating!

Admit it, brother, academia is all about connections. ? Who in China is really doing research? Everyone goes abroad, finds a foreign supervisor to publish in a top-tier journal, that's the right way. Without connections, can't even cheat, can't do research, might as well just work honestly. Where our paper gets published doesn't really matter, calm down, bro.

Hey bro, still feeling good? I dropped to second place, it's really frustrating.
