I remember back in mid-2018 when it was still Zone 2, IF3.7, now it's directly Zone 4.

Little White submitted an article for the first time, and it seems like the comments in the comment section are quite quick. However, it's been a month since the first review and I still haven't received any feedback. I can't see any progress on the submission website either. Does anyone know how long the general review period is?

What a joke, it's already a journal that Wiley has given up on

Each step was fast
However, the impact factor has decreased to 2.8

From submission to going live, it took only 2 months, which is a very fast speed.
The suggestions proposed by the experts are very targeted and greatly helpful in improving the article.
PSSRRL is an old and prestigious journal. Although it still has some gaps compared to PRB and APL in the field of condensed matter, it may be better than journals like JPD, JPCM, and JAP.
I am also very happy to have one paper accepted and I hope it can return to the second district soon.

Brother, did you submit another article?

Does the average review speed of 11 days refer to working days or natural time?

Two reviewers, one rejected and one passed. The editor suggested revising the article according to the reviewers' opinions and resubmitting it to PSSA. The article was slightly revised and a response to the reviewers was added. PSSA accepted it directly. The timeline feels about the same, with the revision process taking three and a half weeks and acceptance taking four and a half weeks.

Compared to other journals in the field of condensed matter physics, the publication process is indeed relatively fast. Physical Review B (PRB) requires higher standards, but for those who are eager to graduate, considering this journal as an option is advisable. The reviewers are also more professional and the process is speedy. Hopefully, the impact factor will increase soon. Moreover, it is already classified as a Q3 journal, haha.

It is currently graduation season, with many submissions, so naturally the editors' processing speed is not as fast. If you don't recommend reviewers yourself, it will be even slower. Compared to other journals, the overall speed is already quite fast.

The boss originally wanted me to submit to PRB, but I found it difficult and was also in a hurry to graduate, so I directly submitted to this one (JPCM is much slower). After more than three weeks, I received the first round of reviews, made revisions within a week (modifying the reference format), and then received the final decision. The whole process took a little over a month. PSSRRL used to be in the second tier, but now it is in the third tier of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The journal's impact factor is now around 2.8, which is a decrease from the previous 3.7. I hope it will improve in the future, IF UP UP!

It has been two weeks and it is still under review. It has already exceeded the average review speed of 11 days.

It has been a week and it is still in the "under review" status. I hope to have a result this week.

Do you need a page fee and review fee?

It is really fast. Those who are eager to graduate can submit it. Otherwise, if the quality of the article is good, it is better to try submitting to a better journal first.

The impact factor of this journal is relatively low compared to other 2nd tier journals, but the reviewing process is quite fast. Currently, it is in the publication stage.

The article was submitted to PRB for review, but one of the reviewers was too difficult and ultimately the PRB editor rejected it. The review result was received within 20 days after submission to this journal, which was very fast, and only minor revisions were needed. The reviewer was still quite professional.

I won a publication in PSSB. "Under consideration" means it is being reviewed. After more than a month, it was still under consideration, and I thought it was not going well. However, unexpectedly, I received the reviewer's comments.

How is the current situation? Mine has also been under consideration all this time.

Hello! May I ask if your status has changed from "under consideration"? I have also been waiting for a long time and my status has been "under consideration" all along.

Could you please clarify if "under consideration" means it has been sent for review or not?

It has been 10 days since I submitted it, and it has been under consideration all along. Has it been sent for review or not at all?
