Similar to you, the review process took three weeks for me, involving three reviewers. Two of the reviewers had a positive opinion, while the third one suggested shortening the introduction and adding a citation to a formula. In the end, the editor recommended submitting the manuscript to another journal directly.

Yes, that's exactly how efficiency and cruelty are.

DR. LTF 2022-03-16

On the second day of submission, it has changed to "decision in process". Does it mean that it will be rejected?

Ice 2022-03-14

Do you have any brothers who have already submitted? I would like to ask for some advice on manuscript formatting. I am waiting online, QQ: 850094746.

DDWB 2022-03-10

May I ask if there are any comments on the manuscript after three weeks of review?

爱举铁的兔子 2022-03-10

After submission, it will be reviewed within a week. After three weeks of review, I was informed that it did not meet the scope of the journal and was advised to submit it elsewhere. I laughed at the idea of resubmitting something that doesn't fit the scope.

This situation is estimated to be due to the invited reviewers not accepting the review invitation, or accepting it but not returning their opinions in a timely manner, so the editor invited new reviewers.

What's going on with the constantly changing "Under review" status? Does anyone know, bro?

Isn't it a good thing to reject quickly? The composite structure is also in Zone 1, so there's no need to panic.

28/02/2022, reject.
Transfer to Composite Structures or Thin-wall Structures. (Editor's recommendation)
Amazing speed, reject quickly ?

Chang 2022-02-25

25/2/2022, submitted to journal.
Hope it will have good news.

DDWB 2022-02-23

Why not write a letter to the editor to inquire? If the first decision exceeds the average processing time of the magazine, editors generally don't mind authors writing letters to inquire and communicate. If it takes more than a month to process, it is completely acceptable to write a letter suggesting a transfer to another editor. Adults should be more rational and not impulsively withdraw their manuscripts, as it only wastes their own time.

I have already switched to another publication.

1.11 Submission
2.14 Rejection
It has been over a month in the editor's hands without being reviewed, and it was rejected. What a waste of time! Does it really take this long to reject a submission? It's truly a waste of time. It is important to be cautious when submitting to this journal.

现代舰船 2022-02-14

From submission to acceptance, it took 3 months and 7 days. It was reviewed in two days, and then reviewed again in one month. The date was changed once during the process. There were two reviewers, and a major revision was required. After the modifications, it was accepted within two weeks. Professor Hao Wang was the handling editor. Over the past few years, the impact factor of JCOMB has been consistently increasing. The editor-in-chief mentioned in the acceptance letter that this year's impact factor will soon reach 12, making it the highest in the field of composite materials. It is worth investing in.

zui清风 2022-02-12

May I ask how your paper is going now? My manuscript has been with the editor for a month. What's the situation?

zui清风 2022-02-10

Is it normal for a manuscript to be rejected after a month in the hands of the editor? Mine has also been with the editor for a month.

zui清风 2022-02-10

Why hasn't my submission been reviewed after a month? Should I remind them to review it?

zui清风 2022-02-10

Hello, may I ask why my manuscript has been with the editor for a month without being reviewed yet? What's going on?

zui清风 2022-02-10

My submission has been with the editor-in-chief for over a month. Do I need to withdraw it?

zui清风 2022-02-10

Excuse me, it has been over a month since it has been in the editor's hands. Do I need to withdraw the submission?

zui清风 2022-02-10

It has been a month for me too, may I ask if I need to remind them?

In the middle of the night, bad news came, one positive and one negative, rejection.

DDWB 2022-01-19

I think 3.3 weeks should be an average statistic. If it exceeds one month, it may be worth asking the editorial department.

DDWB 2022-01-19

I think the homepage of other journals is written very clearly:
Time to First Decision: 3.3 Weeks
Review Time: 4.2 Weeks
Acceptance Rate: 9%

观天澜 2022-01-18

60% of the articles submitted by Chinese people are directly rejected, while 30% are rejected after review, and only 10% have an acceptance rate. Currently, Part B is not as competitive as Part A and Composite Materials Technology. However, they have a strong temper and can be quite stubborn, which can hinder progress.

坐在街头看文献 2022-01-18

I did not submit this for review, it did not appear as "under review". The editor directly wanted to reject it. I think it's too slow to make a decision after a month.
