From submission to acceptance, it took a total of 60 days, with the first review taking 40 days mainly because one reviewer went missing, delaying the invitation of other reviewers. The editor is very diligent and responsible, handling manuscripts promptly and efficiently. Reviewers are given a 14-day review period, and they usually submit their reports on time with very professional feedback. The first review had 20 issues, which were very helpful to the article. It took 16 days to make revisions, and the second review was accepted in 6 days without any delays. This process was one of the smoothest in terms of submission timelines.

The article published in 2024, exempted from layout fees, was written on the JAP official website. When submitting the article, a page was also provided to calculate the layout fees that needed to be paid. My article was calculated to be 0.

JAP has been open sourced starting this year. Do friends who have manuscripts in the middle of this year know how much page fees need to be paid?

It started off quickly, but there was a delay in finding reviewers. The first one provided feedback quickly, the second one took one to two months, and the final acceptance was quite slow, taking almost a month, around 25 days to be exact.

The review speed of JAP is as fast as ever. For the first submission, due to experimental and innovative issues, there was no opportunity for revision after submission, but I received a response within a total of 14 days. The second submission, which was also sent to JAP for review, revision, and acceptance, was completed within a total of 30 days. The expert opinions are as professional as ever, and I hope that JAP will continue to improve

The speed was very fast. The article was sent for external review on the third day of editing. There were two reviewers. The first reviewer took about 10 days to complete the review. The second reviewer, probably due to summer vacation, delayed it for almost two months. However, luckily, the second reviewer suggested revisions and the editor accepted it after the revisions were made. The editor provided minor revisions, and after the revisions were made, the article was directly accepted. It took over half a month for proofreading and another half a month for publication. Overall, this journal is really good, with fast speed and no delays!

After going back and forth for more than 6 months, we went through two major revisions. The reviewers chosen by the JAP were all industry experts, and their questions were very sharp. We had to rewrite almost all the explanations related to physics and conducted a lot of additional experiments. It was really not easy to complete one paper.

• Submission Date: November 15, 2022
• Acceptance Date: February 5, 2023
• Online Publication Date: February 27, 2023

Sent to reviewers on November 21.

Received a revision letter on December 21, with 20 questions from two reviewers, which were not very critical (later found out there were three reviewers, but the editor only provided feedback from the first two).

Requested to submit revised manuscript by January 14.

Agreed to accept the paper on January 20 (but initially chose an Open Access option and later decided to withdraw, which took some time for communication).

Sent the proof on February 6.

Publication scheduled for February 27 (however, there was no communication during this time, and I was anxiously waiting until suddenly an issue date appeared on the submission panel).

Overall, I feel that the editors and reviewers of this journal are responsible and professional. They did not raise any confusing issues. Additionally, the journal provides specific information on the progress of the manuscript review, which can be checked in real-time, which is very nice. During the proofreading stage, the assistant editor also helped to correct some typos, showing great dedication. Overall, it was a satisfying submission experience. Although the journal is currently classified as a third-tier journal by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I hope that it will gain more recognition internationally and improve its impact factor.

The first article.
Three days for submission, 18 days for the first review, nearly two weeks for self-revision, and directly accepted within 4 days after resubmission, totaling 40 days.
Before submitting, I didn't know that the direction I took was the same as the editor-in-chief's until I received the decision letter for the first review. It turned out that the editor-in-chief is a renowned expert in the field (I didn't pay much attention to who the editor-in-chief of the journal was before). The editor-in-chief found three reviewers in total. There were over 30 comments in total. When I found out that the editor-in-chief is a big name in the field, I thought there was not much hope of being accepted, but it was accepted just 4 days after submitting the revised manuscript. So fast!
