The questions asked by the reviewers of CES are clearly of a different level compared to those asked by other journals. Replying to the questions of CES reviewers feels like being subjected to intense interrogation.
Every response is significantly longer than the actual content. It feels like CES reviewers are aiming to challenge your attitude, and if you can confidently and perfectly answer these questions regarding your work, you might be accepted. However, if you lack confidence in your own work, chances are you won't make it. Additionally, it seems that the editor-in-chief is biased towards the reviewers.

After submitting in February, it is required to complete. Currently, the decision is still in progress. I am unsure of the outcome and feeling depressed. I especially hope for a chance to make revisions. God bless.

The original text is in Chinese and it translates to:

"Don't worry, the classification of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a joke. Foreigners don't care about these messy rankings. The recognition of AIChE journal and CES in the chemical industry will not change just because a few so-called classifications are modified by Chinese people. If the members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are really capable, they should publish more in prestigious journals. Only those who are incapable will forcefully push domestic journals to the top tier. In top chemical schools like Tianjin University, Zhejiang University, and Tsinghua University, the recognition of AIChE and CES is increasing. Those who work in the chemical industry without many articles that are respected by AIChE and CES will lose face when attending conferences. QAQ."

The old partition has been reduced to three zones. I want to ask everyone, is there still any investment value in CES?

Posted on August 16th, received a first review response on October 9th, submitted revised manuscript on November 10th, and as of December 29th, required reviews have been completed until now.

For the first review, there were only two reviewers, and their attitudes were polar opposite. One thought I did a great job, while the other thought I did poorly. The revised manuscript was then sent for a second review, and we even had to remind them once. Sigh, I don't know when this will end, CES is really slow.

(I started submitting this article in June, sent it to CEJ and AB, but it was rejected without being reviewed.)

Oh God, please let my article be accepted soon.

The first job during my PhD period is worth commemorating.

The overall feeling is that CES is really difficult to submit to (although it may also be due to my own level).

The whole process lasted for 16 months with two rounds of review. There were a total of 5 reviewers, one of whom was consistent throughout. I guess he is a big shot in the industry, and I believe his final approval was an important reason for the acceptance of the article. The comments and revision requests were extremely detailed.

November 2nd submitted;
November 6th with editor;
November 8th under review;
December 6th under review;
Still under review until now, so slow.

Upgraded version CES or second-tier top. After 2022, only the upgraded version will be considered. After all, besides CES, there is also Aiche J.
Those people in the Chinese Academy of Sciences have no level and they protect domestic journals. We should also look at the international peers' evaluation of these two journals.
In addition, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' zone division table this year forcibly upgraded one zone to accommodate domestic journals. It disappoints me a lot about the Chinese Academy of Sciences' zone division.

This year, CES went directly to three districts, which shocked me.

Hey, that's a really harsh drop. I won't be able to graduate directly.

This is one of the journals that I greatly admire, as it is one of the two prestigious journals in the field of chemical engineering (AICHE J). I heard that IECR has been kicked out. Why? It's because of its second-tier classification, extremely low impact factor, and extremely difficult acceptance rate. It seems that one can win a national award with just one article, while competing with papers that have an impact factor of 30+. As a well-established journal, I truly worship the experts who are able to get published in it.

I have published several papers in well-established journals, but they are very slow in the review process. The time spent in the "with editor" stage is even longer than the "under review" stage. Last year, the journal dropped to the Q2 zone of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). I will not submit to it again in the future.

LLLLLL 2021-12-07

The executive editor is Marco Mazzottia, but he is very indecisive. I strongly suspect that this person is discriminatory. It's a good journal that has hired a trash editor.

LLLLLL 2021-11-19

The reviewer is very good. It only took a week to complete the required reviews. However, the editor is dragging their feet every time. It is rumored that submitting comments here will expedite acceptance. Blessings for a quick acceptance.

LLLLLL 2021-11-15

After making the revisions, I went back. Blessings, please accept it quickly.

Friends, if you encounter a situation where the RRC status remains unchanged, you can contact the iThenticate customer service online. They will help you check and then notify the executive editor. Online customer service is really useful! Previously, I was stuck with the RRC status not changing, and even after sending two reminder emails, there was no effect. But recently, I had online communication with the iThenticate customer service, and the next day I received the reviewer's comments.

You must speak up about your difficulties, and the customer service will help you remind the editor. Foreigners are not gods, so don't take them too seriously. Our own writing skills are strong, so don't be afraid of them. Be brave and remind them.

BOBOBOBOBO 2021-11-01

I don't know if it's too busy, I can only continue to wait, quite annoying.

LLLLLL 2021-10-29

Friend, I suspect that we might not have the same editor. Mine also required review completion on October 2nd, but I still haven't received any comments from the reviewer. I've sent emails to urge them, but it's been useless. I wonder if this editor is doing it on purpose.

BOBOBOBOBO 2021-10-29

Reviewing and editing are both done quickly, but as of now, there is still no news. Sending emails to urge has also been useless.

LLLLLL 2021-10-26

Friend, you are so fast.

LLLLLL 2021-10-26

Friend, when you send the reminder email, do you send it to the editor-in-chief's email or do you send it within the system?

LLLLLL 2021-10-26

Friend, my submission has been in external review for over a month, and it has been almost another month since the review was completed. It is currently stuck in the "required review completed" status, and the system date is still showing the original submission date. The editor has not responded to my reminder emails. This journal's editorial team is becoming increasingly unprofessional.

hha 2021-10-26

With the editor for one month, have you written a reminder letter?

hha 2021-10-26

It has been a month with the editor, and time hasn't changed at all.

LLLLLL 2021-10-21

It has been nearly 20 days. Why haven't we received any feedback yet? What's going on? Has anyone experienced this before? May the paper be accepted!

LLLLLL 2021-10-10

It has been more than a week and there is still no feedback. Have any of you encountered this situation? Please bless me.

The date has been updated multiple times during the review process. There were only two reviewers' comments, requesting a response within 30 days. I replied on the 14th day and received acceptance after 7 days of my reply.

LLLLLL 2021-10-08

Hello, has your "under review" status changed three times? Does it mean there are three reviewers?
