There are a lot of comments on the review, only one month is given to revise, and you cannot apply for an extension. So I have to stay up late every day for a month, and one of the articles feels like it has been stripped of its skin. It's really tough to aim for a top-tier journal.

Second submission, one received a score of 7 and the other 1, with the reviewer who gave a score of 1 saying my model is too complex and not relevant to the topic. I am beyond frustrated, as my paper's topic aligns perfectly with your special issue and the introduction was written exactly as per the SI guidelines. It's fine, I won't submit again, what a joke.

After accumulating for a long time and enriching a lot of work, I made a sprint towards my dream journal JSAC. Unexpectedly, the first round of review gave me "Accepted With Minor Revisions", which is simply incredible! Currently a PhD candidate, I finally collected the top journals in the communication field as the first author: JSAC, WCM, TWC, ComMag, as well as several papers in CL, OL, OE! Next, I will continue to work hard and strive to publish more top journals!

Major renovation... Lots of opinions... Making changes and trying them out, it's taking quite a long time. Much slower than everyone else. But I'm already happy to have the chance to do some revisions. Hehehe.

There are 3 positives in the review comments, one of which acknowledges my innovation, 3 negatives, and 5 detailed comments

Hello experts, this is my first time submitting to this journal. I submitted to the call for papers of the journal and have received some feedback. The feedback does not explicitly indicate rejection. The submission system shows "The rebuttal can be edited until Jun 16." However, in the rebuttal interface, there is only one text box with a prompt saying "Your rebuttal can be up to 5000 characters long. Rebuttal (uses MarkDown format)." There is nowhere to upload the paper. Does this mean my submission has been rejected?

Took a chance and submitted an article!!! Let's see how it turns out. Haha. Hoping for a good result, fingers crossed for 2024

The research group has published a paper, which is the first article in a new direction for the research group. This work is highly innovative, with only 2 authors. It proves that even without being in a so-called circle or having endorsements from fellow researchers, there are still opportunities

Although I am in computer architecture, I will also try JSAC. Overall, I never thought about publishing, but if I do get a revise, then I can also show off a few years. The group has published two JSAC papers. Generally speaking, the difficulty is there, but personally I feel that compared to getting accepted by SIGCOMM with A in it, JSAC is not as meaningful. Currently, a paper in SIGCOMM should be able to get a teaching position in many 985 universities. However, if you only have one JSAC paper, most 211 teaching positions should still be obtainable. If you can't get it, it's either because there really are no more positions in the school, or the school is of a lower level and can't understand it. If you have a paper in JSAC and a few other papers, it seems that it is also possible to get a teaching position in a 985 university

Please give me a chance to revise this, this is truly the top 1 journal acknowledged by the industry. For ordinary researchers like me, the difficulty of JSAC and SIGCOMM is the same, both are unattainable. After all, other A-level conferences, such as TMC, tpds, also require great effort and luck. Getting a paper accepted by JSAC is truly a remarkable achievement, but I feel like it also depends on the circle, only those in the top circles seem to have a chance of acceptance

This is the fourth time I have submitted to JSAC. I hope to be accepted. I am willing to exchange my two TPDS papers for one JSAC paper. If it is not accepted this time, I may not submit again in the future. It is too difficult. I will continue to submit to other A-level journals

(3) 讚！ | 平凡青椒

JSAC is the fifth time I submitted, from the Ph.D. to Associate Professor, but I have never been accepted, while other A-level journals have accepted five or six papers. It's really hard to compare the strength between JSAC and the top conferences like SIGCOMM and MobiCom, but these three are definitely more difficult than TMC, INFOCOM, TPDS. However, when it comes to the evaluation of performance achievements in China, A-level journals are generally considered at the same level, even within the 211 Project, where A-level journals are treated on par with journals in the Chinese Academy of Sciences Zone 1, so it's not a big problem if I'm not accepted, and there are other options after graduation

I recently submitted a paper, one of the reviewers had negative comments, and then it was rejected. I did both my master's and PhD at UBC, and there is no CCF system overseas. However, in the overseas networking/communications community, JSAC is indeed the top 1 magazine. In fact, there is a high overlap between computer networks and architecture, and our group also often submits to top architecture journals, such as TPDS and TC, but JSAC currently has only one paper. I can only say that JSAC will have to become an obsession for the rest of my life, haha~

My research is at the intersection of networking and system architecture. I have submitted many papers to JSAC over the past few years, all of which have been rejected. However, after being rejected by JSAC, I resubmitted to TPDS and TMC and they were both accepted. I recently submitted another paper and I hope for good luck. In my circle, JSAC is really a top-tier journal, much more difficult and prestigious than TPDS and TMC. It is definitely in a league of its own in terms of difficulty and recognition

In the field of computer networks/communications, from my circle's knowledge, JSAC should be the top journal, followed by TON, TPDS≈TC≈TMC. In regards to JSAC, basically having a paper published there means entering the top tier circle. JSAC is more valuable than conferences like INFOCOM

(28) 讚！ | C9小青椒

JSAC is the top journal in computer networking, on par with the top conference in the industry, and it is considered a prestigious publication if one's paper is published in it. The feedback for revisions is always abundant and detailed, and if there are negative comments, the paper is usually rejected

The results of the SI-DTMM notification on June 15th have not been released yet. Urgent~~~

This journal is a pure SI (special issue), and there must be a suitable topic for submission. There are a total of four reviewers who provided over 50 comments, with one reviewer's comments being extremely harsh, almost making me doubt my life. In the end, I wrote a response of over 70 pages carefully addressing all the reviewers' comments and luckily got accepted. It can be said that when submitting to JSAC (Journal of Selected Areas in Communications), one must be mentally prepared to be scrutinized. All the reviewers' comments were very professional and sharp, and it was obvious that three of them were junior colleagues. It can be seen that these comments are not something that a student who just wrote a paper can provide. Most of the comments hit the core issues and pointed out all the ambiguities in the paper. It is said that the reviewers are mostly invited top-tier professors and senior doctoral students. Moreover, based on my submission and review experience, if there is one reviewer who wants to reject your paper, then it's basically over for this submission.

I submitted it at the end of August, received major revisions in mid-November, and returned the revised manuscript in mid-December. The reviewer was very strict and professional, asking helpful questions and pointing out some areas in my paper that I wanted to avoid.

This journal ranks first in the CCF communication network, and a paper published here can be comparable to be published on SIGCOMM. It is highly recognized in the industry!
