PROCEEDINGS OF THE INSTITUTION OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS PART D-JOURNAL OF AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING

After submission, it was quickly reviewed, and the initial review results were returned in about 35 days. The first round of revisions was minor, while the second round of revisions required major editing, taking about 2 and a half months. One of the reviewers for the major revisions was very professional and provided many meaningful suggestions (although I did not ultimately adopt them). The other reviewer for the major revisions was average and commented that my work did not really work (though it was actually because he didn't understand it).

After two months of revisions, the paper was resubmitted. Due to significant changes, it was almost rewritten, and went through the review process once again. The reviewers for the major revisions were the same two experts from the initial review, and both agreed to accept the paper.

The journal's review process felt relatively fast, and the editor was very good! The requirements for the article were not high - as long as the article was sufficiently complete, there was a chance of acceptance.

Twisty and turny, brothers, if you have enough time, I recommend it; if you don't have enough time, I don't suggest it. The review is fast, but the editorial department is slow in processing.
