Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology

Continuing from my previous submission experience, I will provide further details in the hope that it will be helpful to everyone. I submitted it around the end of June and found the reviewers after about ten days. The review process took 13 days, and Reviewer 1 and Reviewer 3 provided a dozen or so comments. After making the revisions, it took four days for it to be returned with the status "under review" and another 11 days for reviewers to be assigned again (I'm not sure why they needed to find new reviewers). Approximately four to five days later, it went back to "under review." After 13 days, the reviews were completed, and four days later, an editor was assigned. Two days after that, it was accepted as it is. I uploaded the final version and copyright on the same day, and it was accepted the following morning.

In the email from the editor, there was only one sentence from Reviewer 2, which meant that the modifications were good and they suggested accepting it. Perhaps it is the personal habit of the editor responsible for my paper, as my reviews always take within two weeks. The overall process was very fast.

Finally, I would like to ask how to make the payment. I saw someone mention a link for it, but I couldn't find it.

The timeline for submission is as follows: submitted to the journal on January 4, 2021,
with editor on January 15, 2021,
reviewer has been assigned on January 30, 2021,
under review on February 5, 2021,
reviewer has been assigned on April 1, 2021,
under review on April 15, 2021,
reviews completed on May 7, 2021,
Editor Assigned on May 10, 2021,
Major revision needed on June 4, 2021,
revision submitted on August 4, 2021,
final decision accepted on September 7, 2021.

The journal's quality is average and can be used for practicing the first article. The reviewers' comments were relatively mild, and the difficulty of revision was not high. The formatting process took quite a lot of time, and the submission of the page fee was also a bit troublesome. However, I am grateful for the acceptance and wish everyone smooth research and many articles.
