The reviewers and editors are quite professional. It takes about three and a half months to transfer to acceptance and online publication, usually taking four to five months.
After acceptance, there will be a 19-page Editorial Requests Table, which requires checking and making many modifications

Hello, is "under consideration" for external review or for initial editor review?

Many top experts have switched to NC, and except for the slightly higher cost of publishing, everything else is good. The review process is also strict

Xiao NC transferred to another institution, and the quality of his articles seems to be good so far. Many foreign experts have also invested in it and I am optimistic about its impact on the first division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The first impact factor of this year is also good, and the future looks promising

Communications Materials now has a quality of articles that is not inferior to Advanced Functional Materials. Although the impact factor is currently significantly lower, those who understand the concept of impact factor know its significance. When it comes to academic journals, it is still important to consider the reputation within the industry and whether influential figures are willing to submit their work to that journal.

The review speed of the communication materials is fast, with review comments returned within one month. The review comments are pertinent and help improve the quality of the articles. The annual publication volume is strictly controlled, with approximately 100 articles published per year. Many articles by renowned authors in various fields are included, and it has been recognized by the mainstream academic community. Although the initial impact factor is 7.8, it is definitely not a problem for the subsequent impact factors to be greater than 10. It is a high-quality journal under the Nature brand that is worth investing in.

The submission to NC was rejected. The editor suggested submitting to this journal instead, but I'm not sure if it's worth investing in.

Yes, this journal is serious and efficient. I will continue to invest next time, and I feel that it will eventually stabilize at 10.

My review period for this paper was a little over a month, and it took nearly 3 months for it to be accepted. This is considered relatively fast. The average time for this journal from submission to publication is around 160+ days. The first impact factor for this year is close to 8, indicating its potential.

Sorry, I just saw this message. I will definitely submit it for review. By now, you should also have the results. It's worth investing in since it has such a high impact factor for the first time.

Hello, if I submit for review, will the submission status be updated, such as "Contacting Potential Reviewers"? 
I have a manuscript that was transferred to CM (they said it would be reviewed), but it has been 15 days and it is still under consideration. I haven't seen any progress for the next steps...

Very conscientious reviewer, corrected many minor errors, and also raised several key questions, which improved the quality of the article. Looking forward to better outcomes and hoping to have an impact factor this year.
