The composite science and technology have several opportunities for transfer, which is different from the previous experience of only transferring to a fixed journal. How likely is it to have such transfer opportunities?

Starting from August last year, the journal has been facing difficulties. We have approached many reviewers, but if even one of them declines, the manuscript will be rejected directly.

Mai is the most strict, and she always finds multiple reviewers. As long as there is a rejection, it's basically hopeless.

The last question, how is the review time confirmed?

李同学 2023-05-24

May I ask how to view the comments submitted by the reviewer?

李同学 2023-05-24

Yeah, it's really slow.

Posted on April 23rd, still "With Editor" now, it's nerve-wracking.

I completely dare not agree with your opinion, every research industry has its own top journals.

花柳朵 2023-05-08

This overall is not as difficult as composite part A, and the overall quality is much worse than carbon. However, this journal is not bad either. I hope for more effort in the future.

NANAOMS 2023-04-23

Top-tier journals in the field of composite materials have extremely high reputation within the industry. However, they are notoriously difficult to get published in. I have been rejected multiple times before, but I hope to be successful with my submission this time.

10.6 submit
10.9 with editor
10.10 under review
Approximately two weeks to receive the reviewer's comments, and then the epidemic was fully lifted.
At that time, we were unable to conduct experiments directly due to the environment, which was very difficult. Fortunately, a senior student from another department helped later on.
We were given one month, but it took three weeks. After three weeks, we were given an additional two weeks, and we submitted it on the last day.
After the revisions, it was directly accepted without further review.
Throughout the process, the page margins were small, the font was size 5 with single line spacing, and the Word document was about 60 pages long. Thank you.

双和 2023-04-22

It took half a year, with 4 reviewers, very professional. It is a top journal for composite materials.

海风曲 2023-01-21

After submission, it has been in the "with editor" status for a month. The editor's handling speed is extremely slow. Be cautious when submitting. Sending reminder emails hasn't been effective. Compared to Part B, the decision to send for review takes one to two weeks, which is much slower. If you don't want to review it, reject it earlier and move on to the next one. It has been dragging on, and if it weren't for some academic ethics, I would have directly submitted to another journal. This journal has the slowest editor handling speed I have encountered so far, without a doubt. I'm about to burst.

火箭rocket 2023-01-02

Wish the journal gets better and better!

火箭rocket 2022-12-23

Excuse me, OP, do I need to rewrite the cover letter after making the modifications and submitting it again?

bigtree 2022-11-22

Excuse me, is this speed fast? How long does it take to submit for review?

勤学苦练 2022-10-11

Returned after one month of reviewing, made minor revisions, and accepted the next day upon resubmission.

zzw-90 2022-10-02

May I ask if the revision of the main text will be marked? Previously, the journals I submitted to required uploading a marked and an unmarked version. However, for CST, I only see one submission file, without marked and unmarked modifications.

Handling Editor: European Region Editor: M. Quaresimin, PhD, the entire review process was mainly delayed during the "with editor" stage before the review, but the handling speed of the manuscript was relatively fast afterwards.

Carbon 2022-09-13

Can I see which editor is handling the manuscript? I have also submitted my contribution for over a week.

January 9th: Submitted
February 16th: Under review
March 27th: Major revision - Four reviewers, three revisions, one rejection
May 26th: Resubmitted
July 6th: Major revision - Three agreed for publication, one rejection
July 27th: Resubmitted
September 12th: Rejected
After more than eight months, finally received a rejection. Remember replying to the comments of that one reviewer who rejected it, which totaled more than thirty pages. Not afraid of rejections, just frustrated with the time wasted. Honestly, a bit frustrated... Editor Yin-Wing Mai.
