A fantastic well-established journal, AFM immediately accepted the submission after transfer, it is a trustworthy journal, much stronger than some low-quality journals.

Transfer to AFM is very good, fast speed, careful review, and the quality of this long-established journal is trustworthy. It is much better than some low-quality journals, so we should consider our academic reputation.

AFM allows transfers to small, it takes a whole month to process (requiring ethical approval), it's really slow, slow, slow, slow.

Received major revision on March 5th, it took three months from submission to major revision. After submitting the major revision at the end of March, it was accepted on April 15th.

The submission was made on October 20, 2025, and it took a month to be assigned an editor. By December 19, three professional review comments were received, suggesting further experiments. The authors received feedback on February 14 and accepted it on March 20. Overall, the process was slower than the previous submission. In January 2025, a submission was transferred from AFM, and it completed all processes within three months.

Reviewers are hard to find, the submission process is lengthy, but the outcome is always good in the end.

Sure, the second day after submission it already showed "Under Review," which is not normal. It's impossible for it to be reviewed so quickly. Did the system undergo an update?

Currently, the Willy journal system has been updated, and it is not possible to see whether the submission has been sent for review, as it is listed as "under review" throughout the process. My submissions to AFM and small journals were desk rejected after 20 days and over 30 days respectively. I am busy working on my graduation, and I am truly disgusted by this situation! I sincerely do not recommend submitting if you are in a hurry!

I submitted to both CEJ and Small at the same time. CEJ accepted my submission right away, but there has been no response from Small yet.

It has been 42 days without sending the manuscript to the external review desk, which has delayed the time. Researchers, please be cautious when submitting your manuscripts.

Is this journal very slow due to the large number of submissions?

(0) 讚！ | LabXu

On March 24, 2026, the paper was rejected after being submitted on February 10, taking 42 days. There were no review comments on the submission. For papers that need to be used urgently, it is advisable to carefully choose to submit to small journals, as rejection took 42 days.
