Reply to the comments of the two friends.
1. Regarding the institutional email, I have indeed prepared everything before submitting. I require my collaborators to provide me with an institutional email (excluding corporate work). Otherwise, they should not be my collaborators.
2. 731 suddenly updated its status. It is now pending approval, and there is a new academic editor. We will continue to wait. I estimate that there will be news around early to mid-August, and I will update again at that time.

May I ask how you resolved your email issue? My registered email and submission email are different, and they asked me to provide an institutional email. However, if I have to register again, I will have to resubmit.

As an editorial board member and reviewer for this journal, some deputy editors and editors are very ridiculous, holding back and not sending it out.

Record the submission time (because I am not a correspondent, so I don't remember the specific time and situation very clearly).

3.1 Submission
3.3 External review
3.16 Deputy Editor invited reviewers for peer review. Ae invite (this part took a bit long)
4.19 Major revision (two reviewers provided some suggestions, one more focused on formatting, the other on content)
5.3 Submission, second review
6.9 Final review by the editorial department

Until now, I haven't received any news. I would like to ask if any fellow researchers have experienced the final review by the editorial department and how long it took for them to receive a response.

I received the same notification as you did after the revision on June 8th. Both reviewers agreed to accept it, but the editor asked to find new reviewers. How is your result now?

How to confirm the author's identity and affiliation? After submitting the paper, you will receive an email titled "Manuscript returned to draft," reminding you to check the relevance. I have been stuck at this step for a long time, as every time I submit, the manuscript is returned to draft.

Personally, I think that after the warning is lifted, this journal (referred to as ACE hereafter) should attract some students and teachers to submit articles. However, there is little experience after the warning is lifted, so I will record the timeline to provide some reference for everyone.

March 1st: Submission
March 8th: Various formatting issues and author's email problems were resolved
March 10th: An associate editor was assigned
March 24th: An academic editor was assigned
March 25th: Under review
April 7th: Reviewed and changed to pending approval
April 19th: Received feedback for major revisions
May 3rd: Completed revisions and submitted, entered under review on the same day
May 15th: Changed to pending approval
June 9th: Received reassessment email, indicating that potential issues were found in the peer review process of this paper. Another editor was assigned to review the entire process and it is possible that the reviewers will be rearranged.
June 9th: Changed to AE ASSIGNED
Afterwards, it remained in AE status. Two emails were sent in early and late July to urge for a response, but only received official replies.
July 31st: Suddenly changed to pending approval

Personally, I think there is no problem with the peer review. There were a total of more than ten questions asked, mostly about formatting and background introduction, without harsh criticism. Also, I don't know who these two people are. But they said there are problems.

It has been over 20 days for me, and it is still unassigned. I followed up on it and received a very formal reply, asking me to wait.

胡凯莉 2023-05-22

It has been a month, and it is still unassigned. What's the situation? Should I remind them?

胡凯莉 2023-04-17

How do I add ORCiD when submitting a manuscript? I couldn't find where to add this information. The journal requires it to be included.

lbnms 2023-03-30

Boss, can you explain in detail whether this journal is the one you mentioned? I am a second-year research newbie and have been looking for journals related to BIM recently, but I haven't been able to find any. I wonder if you have any recommendations? Please, I beg you.

I have been invited to serve as a guest editor for this journal a few years ago, back when there was no concept of a warning journal. Now, this magazine has been warned twice by the Chinese Academy, although it was removed this year, it still ranks at the bottom in terms of evaluation in the field of civil engineering. If there are other journals to choose from, it is better to submit to them first. Also, considering the open-source perspective, I always want to have results as early as possible. The review speed of this journal is not like the conventional open-source journals, and the review process is quite long. I have been a member of the editorial board of journals for many years. If your research involves civil engineering or earth science, I welcome discussing and exchanging ideas together. My WeChat ID is "easyde8", let's learn from each other!

Delivered on November 19, 2022. Email sent for recall on February 2, 2023. It has been under review since the delivery, but no comments were given during this period, despite external reviewers being involved. The process has been dragging on for too long, wasting over three months of my time. If you don't want it, simply reject the submission instead of making me wait patiently and wasting my efforts.

May I ask how to confirm the author's information? The article I submitted was returned, and they requested confirmation of the author's information.

It took 6 months, and the reviewers raised many professional questions, which greatly improved the quality of the article. After one major revision and three minor revisions, the article was finally accepted. It was indexed by Web of Science 4 weeks later and a proof of SCI indexing was obtained from the university.

Brother, please help me. I really can't graduate. I'm about to jump off the building.

Many of them are scammers.

Mainly, the clown is myself. When I invested, everything was normal. After half a year, there were warnings. At that time, there were more than ten warnings, and the others knew how to handle it. In the second year, only a few were left. When I saw this guy still on top, and it was a moderate warning, how could I not be angry!

寻梦无痕乀* 2022-04-25

Brother, what journal is it?

土木工程进展已预警 2022-04-24

This periodical has been warned, be cautious about investing!

暖暖小晴天 2022-04-23

Big brother, your comment made me laugh, haha.

律己而强,勤勉则刚 2022-01-06

This journal has been on the Chinese Academy of Sciences' moderate warning list for two consecutive years, with a publication fee of 12,000. Surprisingly, there are still a bunch of idiots investing in it. They are truly stupid - just because they have a lot of money!

Eson 2021-12-14

It has been two months since I was hired, but I still cannot find myself indexed on Web of Science. Has anyone had a similar situation? How long does it usually take for this journal to be indexed?

miningc 2021-11-30

A lot of people applied for this. There were some issues in the middle. It was submitted in August, and the external review comments were received in October. It was revised and resubmitted half a month later. It was accepted at the end of November.

May I ask what journal "Advancements in Civil Engineering & Technology" is?

每日学术混子 2021-09-26

21.6.15 submitted
21.6.18 requested confirmation of author's identity and affiliation
21.7.14 assigned to academic editor, but changed editors midway
21.7.25 (approximate date, not sure) Under review
21.8.3 (approximate date, didn't check every day) Pending Approval
21.8.27 revision requested: major revisions (in addition to comments on content, also requested proofreading)
21.9.17 returned revised manuscript
21.9.18 Under review~Pending Approval
21.9.25 Accept
Overall speed is acceptable, the process of inviting academic editors was slightly slow, but once it entered the revision stage, it was relatively fast.

This journal is too slow, too slow.

Brooks 2021-09-15

You can take a look at the email address of the corresponding author.

L-Ethan 2021-09-01

It seems that it has been about a week, just waiting for the editor's reply. This indicates that the reviewer's comments have been received, but we still need to wait for the editor to handle them.

余安 2021-08-31

Hello, I would like to ask, how long does the "pengding approval" status usually last? It appeared after being under review. It has been over half a month now.
