COMPOS SCI TECHNOL

ISSN / eISSN
0266-3538
Aims and Scope
Composites Science and Technology publishes refereed original articles on the fundamental and applied science of engineering composites. The focus of this journal is on polymeric matrix composites with reinforcements/fillers ranging from nano- to macro-scale. CSTE encourages manuscripts reporting unique, innovative contributions to the physics, chemistry, materials science and applied mechanics aspects of advanced composites.

Besides traditional fiber reinforced composites, novel composites with significant potential for engineering applications are encouraged. These may include, but are not limited to, nanocomposites, biomedical composites, green/eco composites, energy composites, and composites mimicking natural materials. Manuscripts dealing with multi-scale and multi-functional issues and performance as well as interdisciplinary approaches to the study of new generation composite materials are welcome. Analytical work should be validated. Publication of manuscripts reporting routine processing, synthesis and property characterization are not a priority of CSTE.

Posted on 2021.03.28, immediately Under Review, took about two days;
Then came the long wait until 2021.0604, couldn't wait any longer, sent an email inquiring about the status of the manuscript, received a reply the next day, stating that there was only one review opinion and had to wait;
One week later, on 2021.0615, Required Reviews Completed, and ten days later, sent a second email inquiring about the status, received a reply in the evening stating that it would be processed as soon as possible, and indeed received major revisions the next morning at 10 o'clock;
Two reviewers, a total of 12 comments, took 4 days, 2500+ words,
Submitted on 2021.0630, immediately with editor
Under Review on 2021.0703
Required Reviews Completed on 2021.0704
Accepted on 2021.0706
Took a total of over 3 months and a few days. The attitude of the editor felt very good, and they responded politely when I emailed them. After all, understanding is key in the face of the impact of the epidemic!

First revision: In the first round of revisions, reviewer 1 accepted the manuscript without any major changes, reviewer 2 requested minor revisions, and reviewer 3 requested major revisions or rejected the manuscript. In the second round of revisions, reviewer 3 was successfully convinced, but surprisingly, reviewer 2 refused to accept the revisions. The editor gave one last chance, possibly because I did not follow reviewer 2's advice properly, although I explained why I made certain decisions. Perhaps this made reviewer 2 angry, as they provided many unrelated and completely different opinions from the first round of reviews. Fortunately, the editor gave one last opportunity, so I diligently conducted additional experiments and answered questions. Surprisingly, the manuscript was accepted without further review after submission. Perhaps the revisions impressed the editor, and I am very lucky to have my first major publication.
