APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE

Mar 07, 2019, submitted; Mar 09, 2019, under review, Apr 10, 2019, Major review, Apr 20, 2019, revision submitted to journal； Apr 23, 2019, with editor; Apr 25, 2019, under review; Apr 28, 2019, Accept. The editor is Jennifer Strunk, whose efficiency is quite high. Two reviewers, one is an expert with a same major, the other is a peer in the field. All comments were very professional, and the revision was submitted within 10 days with supplementary experiments done. We carefully answered the reviewers’ questions and cited the articles they recommended (Actually, if they just wanted us to cite more of their own articles? Ha ha). A few days later, the reviewers recommended to accept it. I read the posts here, and everyone seems to consider it an unqualified journal. But judging from the review comments, there are more professional comments received here in JHM that I submitted to before, where the reviewers seemed not to understand the content at all. A lot of energy was spent on the revisions, so it is relatively smooth. I wish you all good luck~

I didn’t have a great experience with this journal, unfortunately. After submission, my manuscript was with the editor for two weeks and then was immediately rejected. The editor claimed that our manuscript had been sent out for review; however, in reality, the editor never found any reviewers for our paper. I know this because I received a reminder email indicating that it had been too long for this manuscript to be sent out for review. Even though I had a poor experience with this journal, ASS is a good journal. I recommend being cautious if you decide to submit.

August submissions December overhaul and then minor repair, 12.13 accepted.Editing A Juan is good, but it seems to be a reviewer, and the reviewer has a longer review time.Usually, this journal will be reviewed and the whole level will be improved.

It’s so slow, it’s been close to two weeks, and the manuscript number has not been assigned yet.Still submitted to journal

A total of three months, two reviewers, see the journal in September.After returning the revised comments, the status of the two days is required comments completed, and after another day, it becomes under review. It is only twenty days to accept. This situation should be, after the first reviewer returns the comments, the system automatically updates to completed.Then the editor becomes under re, waiting for the comments of the second reviewer.Good luck to everyone!

ass editorial committee, the number of Chinese editorial committee is really a bit exaggerated....To be honest, it is not a nb journal, and the grades of articles published in this field are indeed unspeakable.On the surface science, and langmuir have a gap, on the material, and materials

APSS has a high impact factor, but the article level is not good, I also selectAfter one article, it is generally written!Personally think that surface science is much better than this journal. I don't know why it has been tepid. It may be related to the editorial department of the Chinese people.
