Usually, how long it takes to get the first decision (rejected or sent out for review) when a paper submitted to ACS journals, e.g. JACS and Nano Letters?
experienced researchers please comment.
thanks.
Usually it takes 2-3 days to know if the paper will go through review or not in ACS journals. If under review it might take between 1-2 months for the first decision.
Read the following, rather amusing, story of a submission to ACS Nano:

Also, an investigation of a number of journals, including an ACS one, is found here:

I have not found a detailed and specific one on ACS yet, but perhaps there is something out there.

Each situation can be different, but generally it indeed takes a few days only. It depends on the availability of the editor (who may also take some vacations, and I have also see one who died in the meantime !), and whether one editor passes the paper to another associate editor. In these consitions, it can take as long as 2-3 weeks according to my experience, but this remains exceptional.

ACS has many journals, so every journal has different time period to provide its first decision. Usually it takes around 25-45 days until or unless paper is not rejected by the editor. Otherwise in that condition, you will get the reply in nearly 4-10 days!!!
ALL the BEST!!!
Dear Subramanyan
All the comments given by Michael, Abhishek, Alain and Arvind are correct, It depends these factors.
i submitted 2 weks back, i didnot get any reply yet... did you receive your reply ?
@T.V.K. KARTHIK : We got the editorial rejection within a week, and the paper is already published in Optics Express.
I submitted 5 weeks back. After 1 week I heard from Senior editor that the manuscript has been assigned to a Ass. Editor. Since then nothing.
Associate Editor was assigned for my submission to an ACS journal 4 weeks ago, yet to hear anything back. My previous experience with ACS journals says it takes 4-5 weeks on average.
Greetings,
May I know how long for Langmuir decision to accept or reject our manuscript?
I submitted last Monday and still waiting for the decision.
Hopefully everything is well.
Thanks
I believe these websites can help you. I do not know which journal you are interested in, so I just choose several popular ACS journals for you.
