What should I do if I accidentally agree to preprint submission? Can it be revoked?

It seems like your timeline feels like something big is not right, and now I am:
Jan 25th 24, Manuscript Received
Jan 25th 24, Editor Assigned
Jan 28th 24, Manuscript Under Consideration
Received an email a few days later notifying that it was sent for external review, and "zip of files for reviewer" appeared in the manuscript items column, then:
Mar 6th 24, space
Mar 6th 24, Manuscript Under Consideration
Mar 8th 24, Waiting to Send Decision to Author
The "zip of files for reviewer" disappeared from the manuscript items column
Oh no! Please don't reject it, after waiting for a month and a half, please give me a chance to make revisions

12.22 manuscript received/editor assigned
12.26 manuscript under consideration
2.5 Blank
2.22 manuscript under consideration
2.24 waiting to send decision to author
2.28 reject
Notification of rejection received after more than two months, overall slow with emails sent for review around mid-January

I also submitted it that way, assuming the first author for correspondence, but I don't think it's a problem. The author order is indicated in the Manuscript file, and if it is accepted, the proofreading process will also provide final confirmation

This can be considered as a top journal in computational materials science, but compared to Nature Communications, it is definitely a notch higher

I would like to ask, if this journal accepts it, is it likely that the professor will be willing to pay the handling fee? Also, how reputable is this journal compared to Nature Communications? Which one would be better to submit to in the field of computational materials science? Thank you

After waiting for two months, I received an email notification that the manuscript was being sent for review. However, the status remained unchanged after the review, still stating "manuscript under consideration." It seems that there are possibly too many submissions for this magazine, resulting in a particularly slow processing of manuscripts.

May I ask if "under consideration" means it has been submitted for review or not yet? What does the status display after it has been submitted for review?

The submission has been 56 days already, and the current status is still "Manuscript Under Consideration". I am anxiously waiting.

May I ask if this journal requires a page charge?

Indeed, submitting a contribution should be done carefully.

It takes one month for the submission to be edited, but it is directly rejected without review. The replies are all generic responses unrelated to the content of the article. Submission should be done cautiously.

May I ask what the status has become?

Can I ask if npj Computational Materials displays the status or sends an email to the corresponding author for review? Currently, it has been one month since submission and it is still under consideration.

Why is the default communication the first author and cannot be changed? Will there be any impact?

I would like to ask you, is the 1st author of the npj computational materials correspondent the first author?

In the hands of the editor for one month
Reviewed for one month
Minor revisions: replied for one month
In total, it took three and a half months. The journal has a good quality (considered as a Nature sub-journal, with high requirements and a significant amount of calculations, also requiring innovation. If not in a hurry, you can give it a try).

Changed status, waited for a month at that time.

Excuse me, has your status changed now?

This journal is extremely excessive. It took one month to submit the manuscript to the editor, and then it was delayed for another month. Several of my professors thought it had been sent for review, but in fact, the editor hadn't dealt with it all along. After reading it, they just rejected it. The efficiency of handling manuscripts is really low. As a domestic journal, I think the efficiency can be improved. What if the author is in a hurry to publish an article? Is it meaningful to delay it for a month at the editor's end? Why was it downgraded to Zone 2?

A very good journal, the reviewers raised very professional questions, with almost 20 questions raised by three reviewers. Many original works, it is not easy to be accepted and published.

I want to give some comments on the first post. Your logic is very problematic. Each discipline has its own value, and the main purpose is different. You must detour the Antarctic when you go to Beijing, right? I guess you will. Because you are mentally ill. I just say it politely.

Manuscript received, 20th Jul 2020; Manuscript under consideration, 24th Aug 2020; Revision received, 3rd Oct 2020; Revised manuscript received, 4th Oct 2020; Manuscript under consideration, 8th Oct 2020; Accepted, 28th Oct 2020. The manuscript was submitted at the end of July, and the review comments were received at the end of August. There were 2 reviewers, who raised nearly 20 comments, which were very professional. At first glance, he is an expert; the questions raised hit the nail on the head, which greatly improved the level of the article. The revised manuscript was submitted in one month and a half, and it was accepted in 3 weeks. The quality of this journal is high, and it has high requirements for theoretical knowledge in mathematics, physics and other subjects. In the long run, the impact factor should increase.

It was submitted in November last year. I wrote a reminder letter in February this year, and received the review comments in March. They are all very pertinent and professional, and we revised back and forth twice before it was accepted in July. I feel that the quality of this journal is not bad, and it is very friendly to Chinese people, but the journal's popularity needs to be improved.
