YuMing Zhang, Ph.D, this Chinese editor is very dedicated and has high requirements for papers. Students in the field of welding and processing, please choose carefully!

Retraction is a serious matter. There should be legitimate reasons for retraction, and the first request for retraction should be a final decision. However, it should be done with the consent of all authors and notification to other authors, with a timestamp. In theory, after requesting retraction, the article can be resubmitted, but it is best to wait for confirmation from the journal. A few months ago, I submitted an article and indicated in my CV that I hoped for an expedited review. However, there was no update on the review progress for three months, so I applied for retraction and cc'd all authors, the chief editor, the journal's email, and Elsevier Support. The retraction was confirmed the next day. If you haven't received a response within a week, you can contact Elsevier Support for assistance.

I registered specifically to provide feedback...
I specifically chose another editor, but the next day I still received an assignment to Yuming Zhang, even though the subject area is clearly not relevant.
As expected, after two weeks exactly, I received a rejection stating that it was out of scope...
However, there have been articles in a similar field published in this journal before...

It has been 10 days, and there has been no change in the submission status. Has it been affected by the epidemic?

It has been a month since my "required reviews are completed" status, and I have no idea what happened.

Can this journal still choose an editor-in-chief?

Material-type friends, do not choose Yuming Zhang as an editor for submissions. He is probably a Chinese-American, and if the content you write is not sufficiently substantial, he will usually take more than a week to respond and then reject it directly. In his emails, he will directly state that your writing is not acceptable, and even if you submit it for review, you will not get good results.

Posted on August 24, 2019, reviewed on October 29, 2019, minor revisions on December 23, 2020 (1 reviewer, 4 simple comments), returned on January 18, 2021, and since then, whereabouts unknown. During this period, I have sent at least 5 emails requesting withdrawal, but have not received any response. I have given up on this and consider it as a satellite that has lost contact after launch.

This is the second article, and the process feels very good. I still have a lot of shortcomings and hope to continue to work hard in the future, aiming for consecutive SCI publications!

Reviewed for more than three months, revised for one month. The reviewer is extremely rigorous and has a sharp perspective. It must be solid and substantial, with a high impact factor exceeding 4.

2020.3.22 Under review
2020.07.22 Sent an email to inquire and was informed that the paper is currently undergoing the peer review process. One review has been completed and the editor is looking for additional reviewers to review your paper.
2020.9.29 Status updated, still under review.
2021.1.7 Inquired again after six months and was informed that the paper is currently under review - one review has been completed and the second reviewer has agreed to review your paper.
The peer review process has been excessively long, lasting for a tedious 11 months. Seeing it go from being assigned to a lower-tier journal and still being under review, I am considering withdrawing the paper. It is frustrating.

"My paper is also under review. Since its submission on February 27, it has been under review until now. On July 22, I sent an email inquiring about its status and was informed that the paper is currently undergoing the peer review process. One review has been completed, and the editor is looking for additional reviewers. On January 7, I inquired again and was told that the paper is still under review. One review has been completed, and the second reviewer has agreed to review the paper. I am considering whether or not to withdraw the paper as the review process is taking too long and causing headaches."
