Submitted in October 2023, accepted in October 2024, exactly 12 months. There were 3 rounds of revisions and I had to follow up with the editor 4 times. The journal is considered reputable within the industry, but the process is indeed too slow.

One of the F4 in the field of nuclear engineering, with relatively high recognition overseas. I know a certain overseas tenured university professor who basically only publishes Monte Carlo calculations in this journal. Foreigners do not care about impact factors when publishing articles, and basically only submit to journals within their own circle. For those in the field of thermal-hydraulics multiphase flow and energy direction, publishing in this journal may indeed fall a bit behind the pace in China.

The time on the editor has not changed in 18 days, and I don't know what's going on.

The manuscript was submitted in mid-October of the 23rd year. It took 3 months to invite 50 reviewers, but only two were willing to review. By March of the 24th year, there was still no feedback from the reviewers, so the editor was reminded. Feedback was finally received in April. The manuscript underwent a second review in early April, and the editor was reminded again in June. It was accepted for publication in late June of the 24th year. The entire process took 9 months, but the ultimate result was good. If you are in a hurry to graduate, it is not recommended to submit to this journal. It is more suitable for those who are just starting their studies and not in a rush.

Compared to NED and PNE, the quality of ANE in recent years has visibly declined. The authors and reviewers are mostly Chinese. Shouldn't there be some reforms?

Pure nuclear engineering journals used to be worth investing in for District 1 and District 2 in the past, but now they are really tasteless. For my direction in reactor thermal-hydraulic, I feel that I should either go deeper into technical areas, and submit to District 1 and District 2 with calculations or experiments, or go for a more interdisciplinary approach, considering the application of models or research problems, and submit to comprehensive or interdisciplinary energy journals. Either option is better than investing in this one. I can only say that nuclear energy itself really has little influence

In the past six months, time has indeed been very slow. Those who are in a hurry need to be cautious.

Hello, I happened to have a reminder for you. You can directly go to the official website of Annals of Nuclear Energy (not the submission system), then find Editor Mostafa Ghiaasiaan and click on his profile picture to access the interface for sending him an email. In the email, please provide a clear description of your manuscript information. I remember that I received a response within a day after sending a reminder. Good luck.

Hello, I would like to ask if you have any experience of being urged during the submission process. I couldn't find the "send email" option in the submission system. If I want to send an urge, where should I look for the email? Thank you!

The reviewing was very quick, and comments were given in 1 month. After the revision was completed, it took about 1 month to give the result and decide whether to accept it. It can be retrieved online after 1 month. The review comments were very professional. The journal is suitable for submission of articles related to nuclear engineering, and suitable for people who are very confident in their research results. The speed is fast and the opinions are professional. ANE is divided into Q1 in small category and Q2 in major category. The journal is relatively authoritative in the field of nuclear engineering.
