RUSSIAN JOURNAL OF ELECTROCHEMISTRY

Actually, I have submitted to this journal before, as mentioned by the previous commenter, the review process is quite fast, but the publication is relatively slow. However, recently when I submitted to this journal, I found that there have been significant changes. Firstly, there is a new submission system, and the speed of editorial handling and review is very fast. The only thing to note is that this journal shows "Assigned to Editor" for both the editorial and external review until a decision is made, instead of showing "under review" or similar status.

Although my paper was rejected after major revisions this time, I have to say that the review comments were indeed very professional. There is no need to worry about the reviewers not understanding the specialized nature of electrochemical theory articles. Now I realize that this journal is hosted by the Frumkin Institute of Electrochemistry, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, which has a great reputation. The editors there are well-known authorities in the field of electrochemistry. So, if it were an experimental article, it would be fine, but it is really difficult for electrochemical theory articles to be accepted.

May I ask, after submitting the manuscript, if the status of the article has been "Pending for Submission Check," does it mean that it is under review?
