The process was quite challenging, but the reviewers' feedback was professional and thorough, greatly improving the quality of the article. Sincere thanks to the reviewers and editor.

It's the same with all of them, the PDF is a bit unclear, and in some PowerPoint slides, you can still see the background blocks, but it's not a big deal.

Have you encountered the issue of images in the generated PDF not being clear during the submission process to this journal, but becoming clear after downloading the TIF file?

The fourth reviewer's opinion on the manuscript was to reject it, which was different from the opinions of the other three reviewers. The editor decided to end the review process and reject the manuscript.

Hello, the manuscript is currently in the second round of minor revisions. The editor requested to provide interactive plots in the email, but the tutorial and testing links provided cannot be opened. Have you encountered this issue?

It's difficult to assess the review comments, saying there is a lack of innovation and then asking me to submit a review article. The implication is that my research has already been done, but the review article does not mention the manufacturing technology I used at all. Moreover, this article is open source in the third district. Later, I found out that it seems to be an article from the reviewer team. Laughed out loud.

It has been two months since submission, currently under review. Three review invitations have been sent out on Easychair, but no one has accepted to review. Is this situation normal?

Top fell this year, and if it falls three districts next year, it will be in trouble.

Can only the corresponding author generate the PDF? I can't see anything, the status bar is all 0000.

Interesting. I was rejected by Applied Surface Science within seconds. They suggested that I should try submitting to Thin Solid Film instead.

On December 10th, started submitting to ASS. On December 11th, received advice to switch submissions to TSF and this journal, but did not understand.
On February 10th, Mei Mei took a cold break. After receiving advice and modifications from the big boss, she regrouped and continued submitting to this journal...
