Thumbs up to the editor-in-chief Professor Tu Jiangping of Zhejiang University for handling it so quickly! Received the acceptance notice early Sunday morning, very moved! 
Strongly criticize the people who are dividing the Chinese Academy of Sciences into regions, just like children's play! I don't know what they're thinking!

Oh, luckily my bet on 3 and 4 paid off

Really, it may be because it was submitted near the end of the year, the processing speed is relatively fast

The speed was super slow, I submitted in May last year and only now getting accepted, but I'm very grateful that it did. Super thanks to the editor and reviewers

Is it true that your turnaround is so fast? I submitted mine in May last year and it took 5 months for the first revision, then another 2 months for the second revision after my defense in December. I submitted on December 28th and it is still under review

What's the situation with your article, buddy? I have submitted to two or more reviewers for revisions. Two of them have reviewed, but one of the reviewers has already completed the review and waiting for the other one for almost two months. However, it is still under review, and I don't dare to rush the editor

I also changed from 2 to 3, feeling speechless. But I still pray for success, hope that we can all succeed

I submitted my article in May last year, and it has been almost two months since the second review without any progress. It's been almost a year

The experimental article has been silent for three months

When submitting, it was in District 2, but it changed to District 3 halfway through the review process. What should I do?

Is it an experimental article or a review article? Experimental articles should be faster

It is indeed difficult to understand why it became three zones

How long does it usually take to receive the manuscript number after submitting a contribution? Is it normal not to have received it after two days?

Submitted to EA for the first time on July 8th, 
Received feedback on July 30th, resubmitted after rejection.
Submitted for the second time on October 25th (experiment revised and theoretical calculations added based on feedback)
In January 25th, wanted to send a reminder letter after three months, but waited for a few more days due to some issues.
Accepted on February 1st
Although the process was a bit slow, the editor was very diligent and responsible. The feedback from the first reviewer was very constructive. We discussed the feedback, added some additional data, addressed the reviewer's comments, and resubmitted

Can I appeal this? It's clearly unreasonable

Once upon a time, it was a district

The Chinese Academy of Sciences zoning is just a group of idiots

It's unbelievable. The quality of this journal is so high. It went from being in the top of Zone 2 to Zone 3

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has unexpectedly classified EA as a third-tier journal, which is something that I can never understand in my lifetime. Although it is based on the time of article acceptance for classification, I am still very upset. There are too few journals that can be submitted to, and now one more first and second tier journal is gone... Although,, however,, I will continue to publish articles in EA, because EA is a high-quality journal in my heart!!!!
