Aims and Scope

Please note that Composites Communications is a Short Communications Journal. According to the Journal’s Guide for Authors, the maximum length per article is c. 2000-2500 words plus 3-5 average size tables and figures in submitted manuscripts.

Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) publishes peer-refereed short communications and letters on the latest advances and progresses in composites science and technology. It aims to disseminate new knowledge to the broad composites community in a timely fashion with its rapid review and publication process.

Composites Communications accepts manuscripts reporting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization and mechanics modelling. In addition to the traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, composites with outstanding physical, mechanical and fracture properties, and unique functions and thus significant application potential, such as biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management, energy harvesting and storage, composites for extreme service environments are encouraged.

Composites Communications also publishes Composites Views that are short overviews written by leading scientists covering exciting and innovative topics of general interest to all researchers in the field of composites.

The journal is endorsed by the Chinese Society for Composite Materials.

Verified Reviews

Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.

After submission, I was quickly asked to change the length. After making the changes as requested, I was still asked to change the length. Later, I added and deleted some data content and selected an overseeing editor. After submitting, the status remained "submitted to journal" for over three weeks. Then, it changed to "with editor" for two weeks before being directly rejected with review comments. They said it lacked attractiveness and had a rejection rate of over 75%. The manuscript was handled very quickly a few days ago, but now the process is extremely slow. It took almost two months to receive this simple standard reply. Everyone should be cautious when trying the new journal.

After submitting, I was quickly asked to change the length. Later, after making the changes as requested, with 4 figures and 1 table, the word count was kept within 2500 words. However, I was still asked to change the length. Eventually, I made some content cuts and modifications, choosing an overseeing editor. Currently, it has been over a week since it was submitted to the Journal. Previously, the submission process was very fast, but I don't know why it has been stuck in this state for so long. I saw that some others in the same process were rejected, so I am currently very anxious. I don't know if any experts know what the length requirement for this article should be.
