The professionalism of the editor-in-chief is questionable, rejecting nonsensical manuscripts. The quality of articles published is clear to discerning readers. After two rounds of reviews, it has been delayed for half a year. It does not have the fate of being a top journal, but it has caught the bug of a top journal. This year's predicted impact factor is fluctuating, waiting for the miraculous results of these people's operation

I will give an overall update: first of all, this journal definitely needs two rounds of revisions because mine is currently in the second round, and I have also reviewed others' papers in the second round. Secondly, it usually takes at least half a year for this journal to publish. Please consider this before submitting your paper

A similar experience to yours. This routine is too deep, not pure at all!

I made a mistake, I have been Pending Decision for more than ten days, I don't know what's going on

It's been twenty days now, I think the editor-in-chief is controlling the amount of articles being published. After all, the IF is coming out next month, so they should be selecting some good ones from the batch of manuscripts to process one per month

Although it is called sustainable materials, the materials mentioned above have nothing to do with sustainability. Articles focusing on energy batteries are preferred. The sustainable materials I produced were rejected 2 weeks after submission for not fitting the theme

Do you have any updates now? Our time is almost the same. Is this the end of the review waiting for the editors to process?

How long does it usually take for a pending recommendation? I hope the article will be rejected directly for the first time, and I don't want to wait

I have not invested since being dragged into this in November 1, 2023

Rejected after submission, three reviewers, two rounds of revisions, all rejection letters without specific comments. It doesn't really matter. It's better not to submit forcefully!

The last reviewer we found was the editor-in-chief himself, but as soon as we realized he wasn't a friend or colleague, we rejected him

Ask the editor privately, don't submit to this journal in the future. Rejection is fine, but nonsensical rejections are not acceptable

It seems that research papers will have more reviewers. Are you contacting the editor-in-chief or the managing editor by email? I have sent reminder emails before, but no response. I am thinking about withdrawing the submission

I am really laughing to death, even those with connections are also rejected. The first trial took three months, the second trial took two months, and in the end I was rejected, leaving me stuck at the point of graduation. It is truly impressive how domestic journals are leading the way, showcasing the high level of the journals

Don't submit this manuscript if it's not suitable. After submitting the manuscript, there was no response for 4 months. After contacting the other party, the manuscript was quickly rejected. The review quality was very poor, with reasons for rejection including: the need to enhance the images, the need to enhance the language, lack of innovation, and no professional suggestions. Time wasted for nothing

The ghost journal is speechless, and the mysterious operations are astonishingly slow.
Submitted on August 1, 2023,
Received a review on October 20, 2023, two major revisions and two minor revisions, the editor asked for major revisions, and explained that the review process was unbelievably slow.
Returned the revised manuscript on December 4, 2023, rejected on March 7, 2024,
The bizarre operation during the revision: the revised manuscript was sent back to the original two reviewers, who accepted it, and two new reviewers were appointed. One recommended minor revisions, while the other rejected it for ridiculous reasons. After receiving the review comments, the manuscript stayed with the editor for over a month before being rejected. It's truly speechless, they should have rejected it earlier and saved time. I will blacklist this journal for life
