Aims and Scope

The emphasis of the journal Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing is on disseminating the application of research to the development of new or improved industrially-relevant robotics, manufacturing technologies, and innovative manufacturing strategies. Preference is given to papers describing original research that includes both theory and experimental validation. Comprehensive review papers on topical issues related to robotics and manufacturing will also be considered. Papers on conventional machining processes, modelling and simulation, supply chain management, and resource optimisation, will generally be considered out of scope, as there are other more appropriate journals in these areas. Overly theoretical or mathematical papers will be directed to other more appropriate journals as well. Original papers are welcomed in the areas of industrial robotics, human-robot collaborative manufacturing, cloud-based manufacturing, cyber-physical production systems, big data analytics in manufacturing, smart mechatronics, machine learning, adaptive and sustainable manufacturing, and other fields involving unique manufacturing technologies.

Verified Reviews

Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.

The first review invited three reviewers, one of whom was probably invited later by the editor because they thought the second reviewer's opinion would not be returned. As a result, just as the third reviewer agreed to review, the opinions of the first two reviewers came back. They both affirmed the paper, mainly suggesting language modifications and logical connections between paragraphs. The editor requested major revisions. For the second review, new reviewers were appointed, and their opinions were added to those of the third reviewer who was re-invited. The fourth reviewer agreed to accept the paper, while the third reviewer suggested rejection. The editor did not suggest major or minor revisions and simply stated that if the third reviewer could be convinced, further modifications were welcome. I don't understand what the editor really means. This journal often changes reviewers after major revisions, and even after the second review, the third reviewer still comments based on the original submission. I don't know if I should continue making changes.

Generally speaking, it's already quite good to control the process from submission to acceptance within 6 months. The acceptance rate is high and the difficulty is not significant.
2021.10.12 Accepted
2021.08.31 Revised version submitted, mainly refuting the 4th opinion of the reviewer. Provide data, examples, and reiterate the innovative points and engineering value in detail.
2021.08.15 Second review comments received, two additional reviewers were added. One suggested acceptance directly, while the other criticized the lack of conformity to the main theme.
2021.07.08 Revised version submitted.
2021.06.23 Major revision in the first review. The editor-in-chief requested a major revision, and both reviewers approved the article, raising minor issues regarding expressions and article structure.
