Aims and Scope
Wave Motion is devoted to the cross fertilization of ideas, and to stimulating interaction between workers in various research areas in which wave propagation phenomena play a dominant role. The description and analysis of wave propagation phenomena provides a unifying thread connecting diverse areas of engineering and the physical sciences such as acoustics, optics, geophysics, seismology, electromagnetic theory, solid and fluid mechanics.

The journal publishes papers on analytical, numerical and experimental methods. Papers that address fundamentally new topics in wave phenomena or develop wave propagation methods for solving direct and inverse problems are of interest to the journal.

2021.02.Submission
In June 2021, two reviewers provided feedback on the submission. One recommended major revisions, while the other suggested minor revisions. Both reviewers' comments were relatively gentle.
In August 2021, a resubmission was required. It is likely that the time taken was too long, resulting in a change of reviewers, and another round of major revisions was requested.
Another resubmission was made in October 2021.
Finally, in November 2021, the submission was accepted.

This journal is really slow. I submitted the manuscript on December 19, 2022, and it is still "with editor" as of April 11, 2023. I have sent three emails and made four phone calls in between, but the status hasn't changed at all. Are these editors just drinking tea and reading newspapers every day? They don't even process the manuscript.
