The partition of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is really awesome. Good journals like Small Loc are all downgraded to the second tier, while some journals that only published 116 articles in one year are considered as first-tier, which is really rotten

In 2024, it was downgraded to Engineering Technology Level 2

Hello, I also changed from "in peer review" to "with editor" four days ago, but it has been five days already. Can I know if your status change was due to no reviewers rejecting the review, or did you receive feedback?

How long does it usually take with the editor?

Hello, I wanted to ask if "accept" follows after peer review! How long does it usually take?

How long does this state last in peer review?

Approximately one month later, the submission was rejected, with the reason being the lack of experimental content pertaining to practical application.

Very soon, approximately two days or so.

I would like to ask, bro, how long does it take from the initial assessment to with the editor?

April 6, 2022 submitted
May 6, 2022 Reject & Resubmit (Three reviewers, the first one suggested minor revisions, the second one rejected, the third one suggested resubmission)
July 28, 2022 resubmission has been submitted (Only the first and third reviewers reevaluated the article)
August 5, 2022 accepted
I would like to thank Professor Manabu Tokeshi, who was very helpful.
Overall, the requirement for innovation is relatively high, and if there is a bit of medical application added, it would be more likely to be recognized by the editors.

The top journal in the microfluidics field has become a second-tier publication...

(110) 讚！ | AaronTheMage

This journal can be said to be the previous journal of Nature Biomedical Engineering. How to say? The positioning of the two journals partially overlaps. Nature Biomedical Engineering focuses more on technology to solve practical medical problems. Lab on a Chip focuses more on technological innovation, but the standard is not so strict that it needs to be clinically effective. But if we continue to dig deeper into some of the technologies published in Lab on a Chip, then it will be very in line with the taste of Nature BME.

Accepted after major revision. It took nearly 3 months. It was submitted to Nature Communications (NC) but got rejected. They thought that our biological content was too little. Later, because the boss didn't want to add experiment, we decided to submit to Lab Chip. I personally feel that the level of reviewers is still very high, and they can focus on the problem. We are in a droplet microfluidic laboratory, and have published more than 10 articles in Lab Chip. Due to the excessive focus on the innovation of the production technology and production concepts of the device and the lack of biological applications, most of the articles in our laboratory can only be submitted to technical journals such as AC and Lab Chip. The boss always wanted to publish in a Nature sub-journal but never succeed.

A very good top journal in analytical chemistry, biological devices, microfluidics, biomedical engineering and other fields. I have been deeply involved in these fields for many years and has reviewed many manuscripts for this journal. Early review requires one word—new. After the revision and upgrade, the editorial team has also introduced more well-known professors in the field of materials. From the perspective of the journal's positioning, it focuses more on the importance and innovation. To be accepted, it requires innovation in devices and applications for the manuscripts. From this difference, we can see that the requirements become higher. This is good for the journal's long-term positioning.

selectd four times, one of them,I feel that the rejection rate is relatively high.More emphasis on innovation, the original innovation can basically be issued.

The current impact factor is higher than AC. You can try it in microflow. It is easier than AC, the content is new, the chip is more complicated, the pattern is more, and it is easier.
