Submitted on March 15th, received major revisions on April 5th. Due to the pandemic, an extension of 20 days was requested. The revised manuscript was submitted on May 25th, and acceptance by the editor was received on June 5th. However, it has been almost a month and it has not been proofread yet.

What is the final result like?

胖的跑不动 2022-06-28

I submitted on the 6th, and it was supposed to be reviewed on the 20th. However, when I checked on the Submission Tracker, there isn't a single reviewer willing to review it yet. I guess it's most likely not going to happen.

The main thing to note is the format of the references, for specific details, you can refer to the author's guide on the official website.

Excuse me, does this journal have a template? Thank you.

I would like to ask how long does it take for you to proofread? It has been over a month and I still haven't received the proofread version. ??

What is your number at?

Kreveng 2022-05-23

Generally speaking, it indicates that there may be a desk rejection. The number of submissions to this journal has surged. When I submitted, it was number 900 (April 20th). Based on this trend, the estimated annual submission count would be no less than 2100, with the number of articles per year at around 300. The acceptance rate is estimated to be less than 15%, making it quite challenging.

Why did my submission go directly to "Decision in Process"? Does it mean that it has been rejected? You don't have the statuses "with editor" and "under review."

大脸葩葩 2022-05-17

Overall, it was a very good submission experience. The first time I submitted, I received reviewer comments in 15 days, with one reviewer suggesting acceptance and the other suggesting rejection. After an argument, I am very grateful that the editor gave me a chance to resubmit. I then found two new reviewers, and this time the external review ended in just one week. Both of the new reviewers provided positive and constructive suggestions. It took me half a month to respond to the reviewers and make revisions, and after that, the paper was accepted directly.

I would like to ask, what is the current submission number?

Kreveng 2022-05-14

2022.4.21 submitted to journal
2022.4.22 with editor
2022.4.30 under review
2022.5.10 revise (two reviewers, both evaluations are relatively positive, one suggests acceptance after minor revisions, one suggests acceptance after major revisions)
Currently under revision, will update status later.
Personally, I feel that the review process in the field of fuel cells and electrocatalytic energy is relatively fast (results were obtained in 10 days for the first submission), and the reviewers are quite professional, providing detailed comments (requesting citation of high-impact journals from prominent research groups). Additionally, the editor assigned to handle the manuscript is the chief editor. Initially, I thought the handling time would be slow, but overall it has been quite fast. Furthermore, there seems to be a significant increase in submissions this year, as by April 21st, the submission number had already reached 900. There are more accepted manuscripts, although the impact factor has slightly decreased this year. However, the overall quality of articles from the latest 2021-2022 period still seems good, and I am hopeful for a recovery in the future.

希格玻色子 2022-05-08

May I ask which editor you chose?

音绣年华 2022-05-01

It's so terrible, not submitting to OA is painfully slow. It has been 18 days with the editor, it feels like a journal that just wants to make money.

备受存残的辣鸡 2022-04-24

How long does it take to get a review decision? I have been with the editor for 20 days already.

YS863254 2022-04-05

I am speechless. It took a whole seven months to get accepted. I saw that its impact factor was 8.3 right after it was released, so the development trend should be good. I didn't expect it to be so slow. I can't remember the details clearly, but the first submission took about 14-16 days to be reviewed. The review process took a long time, about three months, before the first round of results came out. There were two reviewers, one minor revision and one major revision. It took two weeks to make the revisions and sent it back in December. However, it wasn't until April of the following year that they agreed to accept it. I had urged the editor in between, and the editor responded promptly to the emails, saying that the reviewers did not provide their comments and that they had already urged them. The dates that I have are only the ones retained after acceptance:
Received at Editorial Office: September 4, 2021
Article revised: December 8, 2021
Article accepted for publication: April 4, 2022

I have been with the editor for more than ten days too. It is a review. May I ask how things are going on your end?

My With Editor has been half a month already, but there hasn't been any progress.

A very nice submission experience! After acceptance, it took more than a month to go online and it will be published in March 2022. Hopefully, the upgraded version in the future can be elevated to a higher tier!

How long will it take to receive the edited manuscript? It has been almost a month, and I still haven't received the edited manuscript letter.

SUP_1996 2022-02-16

Super fast! The submission was made on November 30, and the review comments came back in just two weeks. After the revisions, it was accepted within two days. It only took a little over a month from submission to acceptance. Impressive!

小陈陈1111 2022-01-28

After modification, submit. It has been 8 days with editor, isn't it a bit slow?

鹿鹿咿吖 2022-01-21

I am also in the same situation, currently in the second round of review. The editor also gave me minor revisions... It's going to take another month...
