APPLIED SURFACE SCIENCE

2019.11.29 Submitted to Applied Surface Science; 2019.12.01 The editor directly rejected it. 2019.12.02 Submitted to Computational Materials Science, and it was under review after a week. 2019.12.29 The resubmitted manuscript was rejected. Two reviewers gave some suggestions, one with more (very appropriate) and one with less. After careful revision, the quality of the manuscript has been greatly improved. 2020.02.19 Submitted to Applied Surface Science, and the status changed from submitted to journal to under review on the same day. In the middle, because two of the three reviewers invited did not review the manuscript, another three reviewers were invited. 2020.04.04 major revision was required, the first two reviewers’ problems were quite few, but a lot more for the latter reviewer; 2020.04.29 revision submitted to journal; 2020.04.30 under review; 2020.05.03 required reviews completed; 2020.05.05 accept! I am very grateful to the editors and reviewers. The journal process is very fast and the reviewers are very professional and careful.

12/21 submitted; 12/25 under review; 01/09 under editor evaluation; 01/12 under editor evaluation; 01/14 major revision; 02/04 with editor; 02/11 under review; 02/14 required reviews completed; 02/24 accepted. Generally speaking, it is very fast. It took half a month for the first review, with 2 reviewers, requiring one major revision with 5 questions, and one minor revision with 4 small questions. I answered every comment seriously, and it was sent to two reviewers for the second review, and I was pleasantly surprised that they reviewed it quickly and all were satisfied. The quality of the article improved greatly after the revision. After required reviews completed, it has been with editor for 10 days. If your paper has been in this state for a long time, don't be too anxious. In fact, if you have returned the review comments seriously, there would be no big problems. Good luck, everyone! Wish the journal develops better and better!

Sep 26, 2019 submitted to journal; Oct 28, 2019 major revision; Dec 1, 2019 revised to journal; Dec 23, 2019 minor revision; Dec 23, 2019 revised to journal; Dec 31, 2019 with editor; Jan 4, 2020 accept. Two reviewers, who were very professional, gave a lot of profound review opinions and corrected many details, which was very helpful to the improvement of the paper. For the paper of less than 6000 words, the review comments were 2500 words. The editor gave two months of revision. I re-did part of the simulation, reprogrammed and extracted data based on the review comments. It took more than a month to complete the revisions It was majorly revised and can be considered equivalently rewriting it. 7500 words just were responded to the reviewer’s comments. There was a long time of waiting and I was anxious. The minor revision was requested because the two symbols were misplaced. The reviewer pointed it out subtly and asked me to check and verify it. It was not a big problem, so I submitted the revised manuscript on the same day. Then it was the holidays for Christmas and New Year's Day, and I waited anxiously for a couple of days. Today I finally received the good news and I was very happy! The editor was very nice. The reviewer should be an expert in the field and his review opinions were professional and profound. Finally, I hope that the journal be better and better.

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.

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
