Although we also made a submission and entered the repair stage, don't get too excited too early. The real-time impact of the spectrum has just passed 3, with a completion rate of less than 50%. What does that mean? By next year, it will only be around 5 points. It is estimated that the number of submissions will drop significantly after June next year.

Great news, this year I have been transferred to the top-ranked Zone 1 at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

2500 is the non-member price, right? Get a membership and save several hundred dollars. Why not take advantage of it?

小小少年 2022-12-31

This journal is open access, so authors need to pay a fee of $2500.

I have waited for more than 100 days for external review, and the whole process from submission to acceptance took 5 months.

kk 2022-12-06

From the successful submission to receiving revision comments takes one month, and from the revision to acceptance takes 20 days. I will post the timeline once it is published.

How long have you been on trial?

天天开心 2022-12-02

I want to ask how long the review process of this journal usually takes, and how long does it take for peer review? For those experienced experts who have submitted before.

under peer review-under evaluation-under peer review, what comes next?

Is peer review the person who submits the manuscript for review?

What are the submission statuses? What does it mean when a paper has passed peer review?

扭矩 2022-11-16

What are the changes in the submission status? Why is it still "under peer review" after "under evaluation"? Does this mean it has been sent to the reviewers?

kk 2022-11-15

Just one month, it was repaired. How about you?

It is estimated to be difficult, the real-time impact factor is only 2...

Have you received the letter?

海老师教你来养猪 2022-10-21

I have been waiting for four weeks.

kk 2022-10-20

I heard that the external audit will take two weeks, and I am also waiting.

This journal should be cautiously considered for submission, as its impact factor is very low. Recently published articles take 4-5 months from submission to acceptance, which is considered quite slow compared to other ASM journals. It is not worth it.

东东.. 2022-10-10

The quality of ASM's journals is very good, they are excellent magazines. I hope they continue to improve!

How long does it usually take to get results under peer review?

DAN K 2022-10-01

The journals under ASM are still guaranteed, with a good reputation. Experimental submissions in the past have been rejected due to lack of innovation. Just submitted, hoping to have an article published in one of ASM's journals!

Is it chargeable? How much is the layout fee?

小小少年 2022-09-03

I am conducting antibody research. First, I submitted it to the Journal of Clinical Microbiology and it was rejected. Then, based on the suggestion, I transferred it here. Both journals are from the American Society for Microbiology, and it was very convenient to transfer the submission with just one click. The processing speed was very fast. The same day, the editor sent it for external review. After one month, I received the reviewer's comments, which required minor revisions. After making the revisions, it was immediately accepted.

May I ask how long the external audit will take? It started with being under peer review, then under evaluation, and now it's under peer review again. How long does it usually take for the results to come out during this under peer review phase? Has the author's article returned?

B12 2022-08-03

Not a very pleasant submission experience.
The research direction is insect-associated microbiota, and the experiment was conducted meticulously. After being rejected by mbio, it was submitted elsewhere.
The review process took 84 days, and there was no response regarding the first review result. Despite sending two reminders during this period, there was still no reply.
I have decided to withdraw the submission and submit to another journal.
Usually, the first decision received by neighboring research groups is relatively fast and can usually be completed within a month. However, the process of checking published articles also delays some initial reviews.
Currently, the number of submissions has increased, and this journal, which is also under ASM, does not specify the review cycle on its homepage. It is estimated that the speed may gradually slow down in the future.

Can't it really exceed SEM? But the impact factor shouldn't drop much.

The antibiotic degradation of environmental microorganisms was conducted in the Applied and Environmental Microbiology (AEM) journal. The article was not sent for review and was transferred to this journal. After checking the IF (Impact Factor) for 2021-2022, which was 9, I decided to submit it since it was relatively high. It took about a month to receive minor revisions and then it was accepted after making the necessary changes. Now, I feel a bit regretful because high impact factors are usually achieved by publishing fewer review articles in the early stages. Currently, there is a large number of research articles being published, which may result in a significant decrease in the impact factor and CITE-SCORE next year.

小精灵 2022-07-20

Already voted, this year the score suddenly jumped to 9 points, but after calculating the real-time IF for 2022, the completion rate is very low, barely reaching 15% of 9 points. With the sudden expansion, it seems unrealistic to maintain the score in the coming years.

JGS.越今朝 2022-07-18

My paper also went under peer review as soon as it was submitted, and now it is still under evaluation.

How long does it take to receive it after minor repairs?
