Don't worry, the duration of the required reviews completed is not regular. Mine lasted for 14 days.

Hmm, now it's the third review. The first review made quite a significant change, but there weren't many changes in the second review, just a few grammatical errors. One of the reviewers criticized my poor English skills - - so frustrating and infuriating, being stuck because of this, I can't graduate.

The hiring process in June was indeed much slower than expected. It is worth praising that the journal has found professional and responsible reviewers. I have high hopes for the future development of this journal.

Just invested yesterday, hoping for a quick acceptance, praying for blessings.

Submitted on March 23, 21 and reviewed on the same evening;
First review comments returned on May 1, 21, requiring major revisions.
First revision submitted on June 4, 21, and reviewed again two days later.
Second review comments returned on June 19, 21, requiring major revisions.
Second revision submitted on July 18, 21, with editor, without further review by the editor.
Comments returned on July 23, 21, requiring minor revisions.
Revised on July 27, 21.
Accepted on July 28, 21.
The entire submission process was very efficient, with prompt and professional responses to the reviewer's comments. However, I feel that the difficulty of submitting has increased significantly after the impact factor rise. I hope everyone can accept it as soon as possible.

All four reviewers are acquaintances, and everything went smoothly.

大大大大海 2021-07-26

I feel that I have received more submissions recently, but the editors have not been processing them very quickly.
Today I received them.

I consider myself an experienced writer, having published several SCI papers. Although I have been rejected multiple times in the past, this is the first time I feel like cursing. After going through two rounds of review over a span of six months, the reviewers had no issues, but the Editor-in-Chief, Yao, rejected it. The reason given was, "Although your manuscript falls within the aim and scope of this journal, it is being declined due to lack of sufficient novelty. We receive a much larger number of papers than we are able to accept." The lack of novelty is just an excuse, it is clear that the rejection was subjective due to the high volume of submissions. Everyone should be mindful of this issue when submitting their work.

It has been 10 days, why haven't I received a submission number yet? It is still showing as "submit".

Submitted on April 23, reviewed in two days, major revisions on July 7 for the first review, revised and resubmitted in two days, minor revisions on July 20 for the second review, returned on the same day, accepted on the morning of July 24.

I am related to safety. Reviewers for this journal are sought one by one, one person per month, until someone agrees to review.

What field of civil engineering do you specialize in, OP? I specialize in civil engineering materials.

The first review took about 2 months and required major revisions.
The second review also took about 2 months and required major revisions. However, it seems that the reviewer did not see the modified content and raised the same questions as in the first review.
After the revisions, it has been 4 months and the third review has just started.
I feel that the editor of this journal is not very responsible and relies solely on the reviewers. If the reviewers delay the process, then it takes a month to find a new reviewer.

Two reviewers didn't raise many questions. The first one raised thirteen questions, while the second one focused more on discussion and raised four questions. No need to pay the review fee.

泰泰 2021-07-12

Excuse me, may I ask how many reviewers does the author have for this journal? Do I need to pay a publication fee?

Then I reminded twice to revise the calculation formula in the middle of the text (the formulas edited with the built-in formula editor of Word may have been converted to image format), and I was busy and forgot.

Hello, will the reviewers receive a notification email when their review is approved?

Great god, how many days will it take for you to give a reply after your little repair?

The impact factor has increased a lot in 2021.

Posted on March 11th, accepted on June 21st, the speed is quite decent.

Hello, was your article directly accepted after 10 days of rework? Was it accepted without a second review?

ff77 2021-06-12

After 10 days of repair, it was received directly. The whole process took 5 months, which is an acceptable speed.

Submitted on January 15th, the initial review comments were only received on May 15th. There were three reviewers, one suggesting major revisions, another suggesting minor revisions, and the third one did not provide any feedback, possibly indicating that the editor had to individually find reviewers. The speed of this journal is indeed quite slow, but its reputation is currently increasing. It's my first time submitting to test the waters, but since there hasn't been any response to the revisions, those in a hurry to publish should still proceed cautiously.

大大大大海 2021-06-01

Empathy. The journal editor is completely irresponsible. The revised manuscript has been waiting for three months, and when I asked the editor, they said they are still looking for reviewers. I am truly amazed.

搬砖小周 2021-06-01

Originally, I submitted this journal because the teacher said the review process was fast. It has been 7 months now. There was one revision in between (returned on May 5th, and the editor didn't process it until May 31st). I am really disgusted. If I had known earlier, I would have submitted to CBM. I submitted another article in January to ES, and it has already been published now...
