This journal does not accept submissions without letters from famous scholars, and 99% of the articles are contributed by Chinese authors. Although manipulating the impact factor can temporarily increase the impact factor and ranking, it is not recognized by foreign countries because the culture of clique is too serious. It is a long way to go to run a good domestic journal

I think this journal is okay, with big names as correspondents. I reviewed it for two months and had to supplement a lot of quantum efficiency experiments, which was a headache

The circle culture of this journal is too serious, with many mediocre quality papers, but the corresponding authors are either prominent groups or big names domestically. Ordinary people are generally not invited to review, unless the innovation is very strong. A paper from our group was rejected within a week of submission because we didn't conduct quantum yield tests. After resubmitting to a German journal of applied chemistry, it was accepted. If domestic journals want to excel globally, they need to abandon this circle culture in order to expand their influence on a worldwide scale

It feels quite difficult. The reviewers are very strict. I added a lot of synchrotron radiation and my head hurts

Based on my previous submission experiences, the speed of initial review is often closely related to the content of the submission. When the submission is substantial, in-depth, and highly innovative, it often quickly moves on to the external review stage. However, if the submission is relatively small in scope or lacks significant innovation, the initial reviewers may need to spend more time evaluating the quality and value of the submission

The final decision given for the submitted article is to resubmit after rejection. Overall, the depth and systematic nature of the work are still insufficient, and it has not reached the level required for publication. The reviewers provided many constructive suggestions, and the editor gave the opportunity to resubmit after rejection. It is necessary to seriously revise the article with dedication in order to hopefully be accepted upon resubmission

The research group's highly original work, which has been submitted to other journals, has been delayed. Worried about being scooped by others, they contacted CJC to explain the situation. After the associate editor expedited the process, the paper was accepted in about a week and published in about two weeks. Very efficient!

Recently submitted a new article, the editor and reviewers were very diligent and responsible, providing many constructive suggestions, and after 3 rounds of revisions, the article was accepted. Through the submission and revision process, the quality of the article greatly improved. I learned a lot from it and am very grateful to the editor

The review comments have come back, it is obvious that the reviewer is from China. There are less than two hundred words and several spelling mistakes. It is clearly biased, reviewing people instead of the content

Awaiting AE Decision. When will we know the result?

Hello, may I ask what does "awaiting reviewer selection" status mean? Does it mean it's under review? What happened to the article afterwards?

Domestically, it may be considered a prestigious journal, but compared to the established journal Angew, it is still lacking. Whether it is prestigious or not, we do not know. The quality comparison with ACS Catalysis is not clear, but internationally, the reputation of foreign journals is still higher than that of CJC. Both domestically and internationally, it is all about connections in the industry - having influential figures and acquaintances makes a big difference

Actually, the quality of angelw's posts has significantly decreased, especially the catalysis-related articles. So, don't be surprised if you can't laugh

Although many catalytic journals have higher impact factors than CJC, such as ACB and nature catalysis, CJC is still recognized as a leading journal in the field of catalysis. Currently, this journal places great importance on the depth of mechanism research and providing concrete evidence. In situ characterization and theoretical calculations seem to have become standard practices. The reason for this is that CJC neither focuses solely on high citation potential articles like nature catalysis nor artificially boosts its impact factor through special means like some other journals. It is one of the few journals that prioritize scientific significance, audience, work quality, and innovative significance. There is reason to believe that it is an outstanding representative of domestic catalytic journals! It is worth having and investing in. It may even increase its impact factor significantly!

Do I need to submit a copyright transfer agreement when submitting to this journal?

Talking about catching up with Angew almost made me laugh out loud. I don't know about other areas, but in catalysis, CJC is still a junior. After reading a few articles, I don't see what's so special

I was immediately curious when I saw the comments from the two of them and turned to an issue. Basically, they are all related to materials. Don't look down on ACS Catal for collecting materials. Let me clarify that I don't have any articles from ACS Catal, but I have previously published in Cell's Chem Catal. Overall, I don't think it exceeds the two, let alone touching Angew. The atmosphere in the domestic journal circle is serious, although the impact factors are very high. We need to support the development of domestic journals, but the quality of this matter requires time to settle. At first glance, there are too many domestic journals in the field of materials chemistry

Is "awaiting reviewer selection" already in the review process, or is it still in the editor decision process?

Is "Awaiting Reviewer Selection" mean it has been sent for review or it is the editor's decision?

It has been a week since I submitted my work, why haven't I heard anything back yet? It's really slow
