Aims and Scope
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.

Verified Reviews
2022.5.8 First revision
Two reviewers gave nearly 30 suggestions for revisions, stating that the language organization and logic of my article were poor. It took me a month and a half to revise the article.
2022.6.21 Second submission
2022.8.16 Second revision
The review process this time took nearly two months, which was really slow. In the email response, they changed one reviewer, possibly because the editor thought that the efficiency of the previous reviewer was too low, so they found a third reviewer. Reviewer 1 agreed to accept the submission, while Reviewer 3 suggested updating the references as they were outdated. I spent two days updating and adding 15 references.
2022.8.18 Third submission
Just 4 minutes after the third submission, I received an acceptance email.
Overall, the reviewers selected by EFA are quite competent. They even pointed out errors in language usage and references to Chinese books cited in the article. I admire their meticulous attitude. The initial review process took 4 months, which can be considered acceptable for those who have some extra time. I hope EFA continues to improve.
1.23 with editor
1.23 under review
2.14 Major Revision - One reviewer raised 11 questions, overall positive, suggested acceptance after modifications
2.16 revise
2.17 under review
3.12 minor revision - After resolving the above-mentioned issues, the reviewer raised another sharp question
3.12 revise - Revised the same night
3.13 under review - Thought the editor would make the decision directly, but it was possibly sent back to the reviewer due to the importance of the question
3.20 accept
Previously, in our research group, it took around 6-7 months to get results for a publication, and one took 2 years to be accepted... Now, with the journal's faster review process, it is a good choice.
