Hello, I just submitted to the Journal of Mechanical Design. When adding authors, is it necessary to add all of them and electronically sign the copyright transfer before submitting for review, or can authors be added after the paper is accepted for publication?

Old magazines, the amount of articles is comparatively small. Although the ranking is not very high, it still has a good reputation in the field of mechanical design. When I first submitted an article, my mentor said that this journal is difficult to get published in. As for finding a job, well, everyone only looks at the major regional classifications...
A certain 985 university is classified as A, and one article is enough to meet the graduation requirements for a small paper.
In the past two years, more Chinese people have been submitting articles. Previously, when looking at the distribution of journal articles by region, the proportion of Chinese people was relatively small.

Submitted in early March 2023 and accepted by the end of May, with a total of three reviewers, the process was very fast. (However, my senior brother mentioned that he had experienced a slow process before...) Although there was a delay of a few days due to a bug in the submission system, the ASME submission system is still very convenient to use, much more convenient than the submission systems of Elsevier and Springer.

Now looking for a job, I put a lot of effort into searching for positions in the big regions. After wasting a lot of energy, I finally realized that the small class 2 region does not recognize my qualifications...

The problem has been resolved. The ASME submission system had a bug, but it has been fixed by the other party. It's frustrating that it was delayed for so many days for no reason.

Why am I prompted on the page when I return for repair?
Please correct the following to continue.
Draft Option O A Reason Required.
Clearly, various required documents have been uploaded, the options for requirements have been selected, and the required fields have been filled out, but I still cannot submit.
No one responds to the email inquiries either...

The reviewer's comments were demanding, focusing on details and posing challenging questions. Essentially, they required a significant overhaul of the methodology and experimental sections. When resubmitting the revised paper, I did not indicate the modifications within the text, prompting the associate editor to contact me and request a re-submission. As a result, it shows two rounds of revisions.

Overall, the paper emphasizes theoretical value, which explains its high recognition within the industry. If the theoretical value is not strong, solely relying on engineering and technical aspects is not recommended for submission.

Posted on August 1st, received feedback on September 27th, and notified of acceptance on November 4th.

This is my first submission to this journal. Only a manuscript needs to be submitted, no cover letter is required, and self-recommendation of reviewers is not allowed. There is an option for double-blind peer review.

The reviewers' opinions were very professional, with one of them being particularly meticulous, scrutinizing every detail from wording to formulas and even the illustrations. This is typical of the style of a prestigious journal like JMD, which is renowned for its strict review process and has produced many classic articles. In fact, having one article published in this journal is sufficient to meet the graduation requirements at our school. I am fortunate to have one accepted this time and hope to continue striving for more in the future.

May I ask if it is sufficient to only submit the initial draft for this journal submission, or do we need to prepare additional materials such as a cover letter?

Posted on April 10, 2022.
Initial review completed on May 11, 2022, with minor revisions suggested within 14 days. Two reviewers with relative expertise in the field.
Revised manuscript submitted on May 23, 2022.
Second review completed on June 19, 2022. On June 22, the deputy editor recommended acceptance, and on June 23, the editor made the decision to accept. The final manuscript was submitted on June 24, 2022.
The final manuscript was approved and accepted on June 25, 2022.
Overall, the entire process was completed within two and a half months, indicating a very fast review speed.
JMD is a top supplement journal of Tianjin University. One publication fulfills the requirements for a doctoral graduation. However, why did it drop to Zone 3 this year when it was in Zone 2 in 2021?
This manuscript was previously submitted to the top journal MMT, but at that time, it did not have any experiments. It was criticized by the two reviewers for lacking innovation. Later, the approach was modified, focusing on the main content with innovative points and additional experiments were included. The manuscript was then submitted to JMD and accepted. It seems that purely theoretical and simulation-based articles are not easily accepted, despite the presence of many theoretical articles by top researchers in MMT.
