Aims and Scope
One of the oldest and most respected periodicals in the field, the Journal of Structural Engineering has a history of reporting on fundamental knowledge that advances the state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice in structural engineering. Authors discuss the art and science of structural modeling and design; develop, apply and interpret the results of novel analytical, computational and experimental simulation techniques; propose new structural systems and study the merits of existing ones; pioneer methods for maintenance, rehabilitation and monitoring of existing structures; and investigate the properties of engineering materials as related to structural behavior. Papers making a fundamental contribution in the field of structural engineering at the intersection of structural engineering and other disciplines are welcome.

First time submitting to JSE, my initial thought was hoping that if they were to reject my submission, they wouldn't take too long. I didn't expect it to be accepted in the end.

This journal has extremely high requirements for the innovation of papers. It is best to include an influential American or Canadian author in the paper, which would increase the chances of acceptance. Additionally, this journal is only in the second tier of SCI ranking, while even lower-quality journals like JCSR can make it to the first tier. It is truly unfair, and I hope that my doctoral national scholarship won't be affected by JSE's ranking.

The submission was rejected after two months, with one reviewer recommending major revisions and another rejecting it. However, the associate editor suggested that it be revised and resubmitted as a new manuscript.

This journal has two LetPub review websites:

It would be better to merge them into one.
