Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics

Received, underwent 2 major revisions and 1 minor revision, totaling 4 months. The efficiency of the editors and reviewers was very high, with the first round taking 1 month and subsequent rounds taking only half a month, even during the Chinese New Year holiday. Sending an email to the editor during the process also received an instant response. The editors and reviewers were also very responsible. I myself didn't even bother reading the entire text, but one of the reviewers seemed to have read it very carefully and provided suggestions for each paragraph. The recommendations given by the editor were also reasonable, and there is hope that they will support you. They won't make arbitrary judgments without reason. Overall, it felt more troublesome than the average journal in the first district. The journal is double-blind, and no author information is allowed to be added. In my response, I listed the contact email and asked them to delete it, treating all articles equally.

After three rounds of review, although the revision comments after the second round were very simple, the editor still sent it back to the reviewer for another review. The first review took one month, and including the revisions, it took more than five months. This was only submitted to the journal because of its high impact factor, but I feel that none of the four reviewers really understood my work. Although the problems were easy to fix, it didn't have much meaning. I looked through the published papers on the journal's homepage and found a significant difference compared to top journals. I'm worried that the new impact factor might drop from 5.80.

Currently, this journal is published by T&F, so they have also changed their website. The journal's homepage and submission website can now be found at https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/tcfm20/current.
