Because a problem that is not a problem is rejected, even top international journals are very casual.

Ah, I also transferred over. It has been nearly a month since I joined as an editor. Why is this district journal so slow?

Have you made any progress?

Excuse me, has there been any progress from the friend? My submission has been with the editor for a month now, and I'm not sure whether I should send an email to follow up.

Also transferred from the Journal of Building Engineering, what is the situation with this journal?

linmo 2023-07-03

According to CCC's own website, if your submission has not exceeded 60 days, you are not allowed to push for it.

黄旺 2023-06-23

The same situation, I submitted it on May 26th, and now it's already June 23rd. There hasn't been any news at all. I don't know what to do or what the original poster's current situation is.

My main research direction is composite materials, and I am not very familiar with concrete field journals myself. I collaborated with another teacher at the school who works on concrete-related topics to write an article. The quality of the article is better than Part B standards, and although the experimental data is average, it is highly innovative. Since there are very few concrete-related articles in CST and Part A, my collaborator said that this journal has a great influence in the field of concrete. After looking at the relevant papers in the journal, I feel that it is quite similar. Although neither of us are big names in the industry, we decided to give it a try.

The article was submitted in September last year, and after the initial review, it required major and minor revisions. However, the article went through multiple rounds of revisions and was not accepted until May this year, living up to its reputation of taking about half a year for submission. Actually, the speed of the editors is quite fast. They generally send the manuscript for review within a week of receiving it, and after revisions, it is sent for review again within a week. However, the time given to the reviewers is too ample, taking several months. If you are in a rush to write grants or apply for scholarships, it is advised to be cautious in submitting to this journal. In the end, it did not delay the application time for graduate school, and it seems that the influence of the concrete field is indeed greater than Part B, which can be considered a good result.

Recently it's been surprisingly slow. It has been a month with the editor, and I have sent emails to urge, but there has been no response at all. I wonder what the editors have been busy with lately.

After the major revision was submitted, there have been no further updates. I wonder if it will be sent for review again.

ccc is better than jbe, it's better to improve towards a higher goal.

Posted on 5.12, it's already 5.26, still with the editor, I wonder if it's going to be rejected, feeling upset.

ZH-1995 2023-05-23

I also transferred from JBE, but I don't feel like I meet the standards of CCC. Is it necessary to wait? Please advise.

The two research colleagues upstairs, I suggest you can submit it. I have submitted it before, but I feel that the effect is not significant. Later, I voluntarily withdrew the submission, and the next day it was rejected.

The situation is exactly the same. Should I remind them?

Two external reviewers found the innovation to be significant, and after making the necessary modifications, the paper can be published. However, they provided nearly 20 suggestions, some of which were quite challenging.

After making substantial revisions to the language and content of the article within a month, it was quickly accepted.

Two reviewers provided major revisions, which took half a month to address. Yesterday, I received minor revision comments, one reviewer accepted them, while the other raised two minor questions.

无所谓惧怕 2023-04-03

Personally, I think if there is no rejection, there is a good chance for hope, and the rest is left to time.

2023.3.7 submit
2023.4.1 with editor
PS: In fact, the author knows that the article is below the average level of CCC. Three weeks are enough for the editor to handle the quality and plagiarism check of the manuscript. If constructive suggestions can be given in a timely manner, the author can also improve and submit to other journals, striving to graduate soon. Best of luck to everyone who reads this!

The reviewer is very professional and clearly an expert in the field.

Hello, I want to ask, what does it mean when the second reviewer says "please refer to the report"?

The journal is excellent with a strong influence in the industry; the editorial process is very prompt, and my manuscript did not stay with the editor for as long as rumored online; the reviewers are very professional, their questions are pertinent and profound, and they have been very helpful for further research.

Best wishes to all colleagues who have submitted or are preparing to submit their manuscripts!
