Hello, may I trouble you to ask if this journal requires confirmation from other authors?

APGENG 2023-05-31

I submitted my third paper in the field of engineering manufacturing.
Submitted for review in May 2022.
Received major revisions in June 2022, but the reviewer was not satisfied with the modifications.
The editor-in-chief requested significant revisions for another four months in July 2022.
Submitted again with overdue revisions in February 2023, and received major revisions after one month of review, followed by another half month of revisions.
Currently waiting for the results of the second review in May 2023.

1 month, 3 reviewers, a flurry of feedback; all I can say is that it is much easier to raise an objection than to propose a solution.

March submission, the number has already reached nearly 180. The direction is traditional, but the editor has sent it for review. Hoping for good luck.

October 11 submission
First major revision on December 15, with three review experts and the editor's opinion, totaling about 50 comments. Given 2 weeks;
Revised on February 1, waited another month;
Returned on February 7, still major revision, added a fourth reviewer;
Revised on February 20;
Accepted on February 27.

For those who are submitting for the first time, it is recommended to download a few in-press manuscripts to check the format (or download relevant PDFs from the official website of EM), including the format of figures and tables. Apart from the necessary innovation and methodology in the paper, the format requirements are also strict.

Good luck.

After reading what the person downstairs said, I do think it is indeed quite challenging (due to the lack of articles this year). However, I still decided to give it a try with a hopeful attitude.

I submitted it for external review on October 19th, with the reference number close to 22-680.

Wishing myself and my brothers good luck.

It has been 3 days with the editor, I don't know what the result will be. Mine has reached number 676.

Posted on September 12th, rejected on September 16th.
Manuscript number at the time of submission: 22-91*.
Estimated number of submissions: an average of about 1200-1400 per year, an average of about 100-120 per month, an average of about 5-6 publications per month, with a submission rate of only about 4-5%.
On September 13th, 2022, the status changed to "with editor" and the manuscript number became 22-60*.
Format screening + initial review, with 30% removed.
Unfortunately, the manuscript did not pass this round of review by the editorial department and was not sent for external review.
The journal mainly focuses on the submission of new theories, methods, and models related to the reporting manufacturing process. Papers should propose new models or explore new phenomena in the field of target manufacturing with scientific impact in the IJMTM.
A very good journal with fast manuscript processing speed. Results of the first round of screening are available within 1-2 days, and it is known within a week whether it will be sent for review. Looking forward to the opportunity to submit again in the future.

I feel like you should be doing SiC/Al grinding.

First submission, it was probably not rejected because the research topic was relatively novel. However, there were numerous comments in the feedback, thoroughly criticizing the article from various aspects, using very harsh and straightforward language.

After one month of revisions, the second round of review comments were similar to the first round, pointing out that there were still many issues with the article and the revisions were perfunctory, avoiding the main problems. There was no choice but to continue making changes with determination, fortunately, I did not give up, and eventually the article was accepted.

Although the reviewers' comments were very sharp, their perspectives and depth of analysis were indeed unique, and there were points that I had not considered before. The suggestions from the editors and reviewers greatly helped improve the quality of the article.

Three rounds of review, each review cycle took about 20 days, and the submission system provided quick updates. Overall, the process was quite fast.

I will try again with new ideas next time.

This is the third time I have submitted to IJMTM. The authors do not have a journal editor or editorial board member, so it is unlikely to be accepted. Those without any background can submit for fun.

冰冰novak 2022-04-18

After three major revisions, I was fortunate enough to be accepted. The handling speed of the revised manuscript is very fast.

herbert_ninini 2022-02-05

From the first submission to final acceptance, it took a full six months.

按时毕业 2021-12-01

First submission, the editor asked to change "Full research" to "short communication" and resubmit. After revision, the manuscript was sent for review after 2 weeks. Three reviewers were assigned after 5 months, two of them mentioned insufficient experimental content and rejected the paper, while one suggested minor revisions. The editor rejected the manuscript... I can only blame myself for not knowing how to write a communication.

Hello, do you find your own reviewers? I don't quite understand for my first submission.

七十二变 2021-10-24

西西__ 2021-10-24

Brother, have you submitted it for review?

西西__ 2021-10-24

Excuse me, brother, have you submitted your thesis for review?

明天花会开 2021-10-24

In our mechanical industry, being able to have a journal paper published can be considered as one's representative work, and it can guarantee a good career for several years, right? ?

七十二变 2021-10-18

Some of the formulas on this are clearly wrong. I can't understand how they were published here, as they seem to have been put together randomly. Moreover, the formulas are very similar to those in other journal papers by the same person, which suggests that they were made up.

随风潜入夜-2 2021-08-11

Posted on May 24th, major revisions on June 31st, and rejected one month after rework. I conducted material analysis in additive manufacturing. However, the reviewer clearly lacks understanding of additive manufacturing and materials science. The questions they asked were inexplicable, such as reviewer 1 criticizing me for not polishing between each layer (which would require dismantling the fixture and removing the protective layer for polishing), and questioning the purpose of electrochemical experiments (which I have already explained is to evaluate corrosion performance, with ample description in the paper). Furthermore, they brought up the clichéd topic of innovation and used strange terms like "layer-by-layer" and "aging treatment" for no apparent reason.

Nothing to Say 2021-07-26

Submitted 17 days ago and currently with the editor, then changed to "under review". Shortly after, it became "review completed". It seems that it might end up being a tragedy. According to the journal's homepage, the process is fast now, with the first stage usually taking within 2 weeks, the second stage adding another week, and publication taking a little over 2 weeks.

20210307 with editor: This indicates that the text was with an editor on March 7th.
20210310 状态没变 日期变了 不知道啥情况 现在还在with editor: The status hasn't changed on March 10th, the date has changed, and I don't know what the situation is. It is still with an editor now.

按时毕业 2021-03-23

Before looking at the comments, everyone said that the editor replied quickly. Has your situation changed?

Just placed a bet, hoping to win.

One week has passed since submission, waiting.

Articles on theoretical models are easily cited, but their academic contributions in terms of practical application are truly lacking. Some formulas are clearly unfounded and patched together, yet they still get published. Perhaps it is due to the editor's personal interests.

明天花会开 2021-01-17

I passed one paper in the 16th year, and since then, I haven't passed any more. I don't know if I can continue publishing papers in this journal! They say that if you can publish one, it's easy from there on?

明天花会开 2021-01-09

I passed one article in the 16th year, but since then, I haven't passed any more. I don't know if I can continue to publish papers in this journal!
