Be cautious when submitting to new journals, especially when the main journal is not strong enough. Sub-journals of this kind may have an uncertain future. Take ACS APPLIED BIO MATERIALS, which started publishing in 2018 and is still only indexed in ESCI after five years, unable to be included in SCI. Don't even talk about the impact factor or journal ranking. In China, ESCI is not recognized, and it is better to aim for Chinese core journals.

The main journal AMI itself is not strong, so try to submit to the main journal if possible. If not accepted, switch to ELSEVIER. There will always be an SCI journal with a decent impact factor and ranking suitable for you. Never switch to a newly established journal that is recommended by the editor-in-chief for convenience. Whether it can enter SCIE and when it can enter are unknowns. You will definitely regret it when you need the article to be recognized. If you have many articles, it's a different story. Moreover, if you don't lack articles, it is better to invest time in trying various mature SCI journals. Such sub-journals have a low ceiling and no investment value. Besides being efficient and fast in acceptance, there are no benefits in submitting to such new journals. Even if they accept, it doesn't make a difference... It is not recognized in China.

Look at the efficiency of online submissions. From submission to acceptance, it takes less than a month. It's fast, right? There are fewer submissions and low barriers, so they naturally process submissions quickly. But what's the use... Submitting is convenient, but you have to wait for the follow-up, and there may not be any good results.

Have any friends submitted to this journal before? How long does it typically take to obtain the first impact factor? Have any friends who work on battery electrode materials submitted manuscripts to this journal?
