The position of MMT in the mechanical field is still very stable.
The review process was fast, with the first review taking one month. There were 29 major questions, all of which were very professional, leading to my reply of 28 pages of A4 PDF, which showed my sincerity.
The second review took one month, with only two minor formatting issues. After making the modifications, it was accepted within two days.
I hope the impact factor of this journal continues to rise, and I wish everyone success in their submissions!

Already rejected, submitted on November 17th, directly edited and rejected on the 18th, very fast response. The manuscript number reached 2796 when it was submitted, indicating fierce competition.

May I ask how many reviewers are there in MMT now? Are there more than three?

The paper has just been reviewed. The review process was very fast.
Received opinions from 10 review experts. 8 minor revisions, 1 major revision, and 1 rejection.
The review comments are quite good.

"Mechanisms and Machine Theory" (MMT) is the journal of IFTOMM (International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science), a top-tier journal in the field of mechanism science. It has a fast review process and requires high levels of theoretical innovation.

Dear, I submitted MMT. The editor replied: "Articles should be submitted with single-spaced lines. Please make sure that there is no space between consecutive lines in the body of the manuscript." After making the necessary modifications, I resubmitted it but got rejected for the same reason. Have you ever experienced this?

Hello, I recently submitted an MMT. The editor replied saying: "There should be no space between consecutive lines in the manuscript. Please make the necessary modifications and resubmit it for the same reason as before. I would appreciate it if you could provide some guidance. Thank you!"

The second article was recorded by MMT. The first submission was made on February 3rd and was rejected after two months. One reviewer agreed to accept it, while another rejected it and recommended submitting it as a technology brief. After making revisions, it was resubmitted in May and took another two months. It received major revisions, and after 21 days of the second review, minor revisions were requested. The day after making the minor revisions, it was accepted for publication. The whole process took a total of four months.

How long did it take in total before and after? What is the main content of the manuscript about? Are there any difficult opinions from the reviewers? Please kindly advise.

Three reviewers in the first review provided more than 40 suggestions. After a month of revision time, the manuscript was accepted in approximately another month. The overall speed can be considered as fast for a journal.

The review process was very fast. The editor-in-chief emailed me the day after my first submission, asking for changes to the image resolution and the number of highlights. I resubmitted the revised version, and received a response for major revisions after one month. After making the modifications, it was accepted within two weeks.

The latest IF of MMT has risen to 3.8.

The size of the image is mainly because some of the variable symbols in your image are not clear, so you need to enlarge the image a bit.

Notify within one or two months, with one modification in between. After the second review, the article was accepted and it took a little over four months from submission to acceptance. The reviewers were diligent and professional, providing many constructive suggestions that greatly improved the article.

I want to know if this journal has any requirements for article images other than pixel dimensions. The reason for my rejection was that the size was not appropriate.

Looking at JCR partitioning, it is going to change to Q2 this year.

The review process is short, generally about a month. The handling of manuscripts by the editor is also quick, with the chief editor deciding whether to assign it to other editors or reject it within two days. I don't understand why other journals have review periods that can last for half a year or even a year. It is precisely because the review process is fast that I submitted three articles and all three were accepted. Novelty in theory is easier to be accepted. I received feedback from two reviewers during the first review, and then received feedback from a third reviewer during the revision process. I estimate that the third reviewer went over the deadline. Overall, I think it's not bad, but unfortunately the impact factor is starting to decline and the Chinese Academy of Sciences' ranking is also showing a downward trend.

One week after submission, it was rejected due to not being within the scope of the journal.

Despite the difficulties during the process, the result is delightful. The editor-in-chief is very good and highly efficient!
Now that your manuscript has been accepted for publication, it will proceed to copy-editing and production.

Check for plagiarism, it was rejected last year due to a high similarity rate, but after making modifications, it was resubmitted and accepted.
