Aims and Scope
The International Journal of Geomechanics (IJOG) focuses on geomechanics with emphasis on theoretical aspects, including computational and analytical methods and related validations. Applications of interdisciplinary topics such as geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, mining and geological engineering, rock and blasting engineering, underground structures, infrastructure and pavement engineering, petroleum engineering, engineering geophysics, offshore and marine geotechnology, geothermal energy, lunar and planetary engineering, and ice mechanics fall within the scope of the journal. Specific topics covered include numerical and analytical methods; constitutive modeling including elasticity, plasticity, creep, localization, fracture and instabilities; neural networks, expert systems, optimization and reliability; statics and dynamics of interacting structures and foundations; liquid and gas flow through geologic media, contaminant transport and groundwater problems; borehole stability, geohazards such as earthquakes, landslides and subsidence; soil/rock improvement; and the development of model validations using laboratory and field measurements.

01-16-2022 Decision - Accept (final)
Three reviewers conducted the initial review, one major revision, one minor revision, and one rejection. After repeated modifications and responding to comments, all reviewers agreed to accept the manuscript. The initial review took about 4 months, which is not fast, but the review process was rigorous. There were nearly 30 review comments, ranging from innovative issues to word and grammar errors. They really put a lot of effort and responsibility into it!! The reviewers are experts in the field, and their suggested revisions were mostly insightful, pinpointing key points, which greatly helped improve the overall quality of the article.

Geomechanics field, lasted for 8 months, currently in the state of accepted pending final revisions. The journal has a generally slow speed, with a typical cycle of over six months. The journal's research direction is more theoretical and requires high originality. Mine belongs to the application of an old method in a new way, which directly changed the technical paper to a technical note, but it is still normally indexed in SCI.
