The speed is a bit slow, and the overall requirements are relatively strict. There shouldn't be any major issues if the editor submits it for review. The process is as follows, let's encourage each other.

Hello, may I ask what does "similarity must be reduced to less than 10% see report attached %REVIEWER_ATTACH_DEEP_LINK%" mean? How can I open this attachment? It's my first time seeing this. Please advise. Thanks!

I submitted an article in the 17th year and found it quite simple. The editors and reviewers were very nice. It took a week to make formatting changes and then a month and a half to receive the first round of review comments. After making the necessary revisions, it was accepted in a week. The only downside is that it takes a year for WOS (Web of Science) inclusion.

Various requirements are very abnormal, such as the repetition rate should not exceed 5% and so on. After the first submission was modified according to the checklist, the editor-in-chief rejected it due to the large number of authors, which delayed it for more than a month.

Will you send an email if rejected? Will it be displayed on the website?

Excuse me, has the format been fixed now? Can I ask for advice?

Mr Zhu 2021-11-03

The format is very trashy and abnormal. I was rejected twice because of the format.

This publication is too slow. Be cautious. You can search for the papers they have published, and there should be a reference format provided.

Translated text: The project was submitted at the beginning of January and went through four rounds of external review.

The first review took 1.5 months, the second review lasted 3 months, the third review took another 1.5 months, and just recently we made revisions and sent it back for the fourth review.

During the second review, it was suggested that the language needed polishing, so we made the necessary changes. In the third review, it was advised that professional proofreading was required. We just finished polishing and revising it, and it is currently in the fourth review phase.

The formatting requirements are a bit strict. Which big brother has already won? Please leave a contact method to show me the manuscript. Thank you! Also, what format should be used for the reference list? Because it's not available in Mendeley, what format should I use?

First direct rejection after submission due to mainly formatting issues. Later, made revisions according to the checklists provided by the editor and resubmitted. It has been about a week, and the status is still "with editor." It feels like it's not looking good.

Do you know anything about the submission process for surface engineering? I just started submitting and got rejected. Even after making revisions and resubmitting, I still got rejected. The key is that both rejection letters I received were the same, asking for revisions and plagiarism checks based on the checklist they provided. How can I meet their requirements?

It seems that even a slight problem will be rejected. Just make some good changes according to the list he provided and resubmit it.

Do we have to use the template provided by them for submission?
