Does it take an average of seven to eight months for the papers of this journal to be reviewed? My paper has been waiting for five months without any news...

I had 28% at that time, and I was also hired.

May I ask how to handle the requirement of this magazine that the manuscript (including tables and figures) should not exceed 30 pages? After uploading just one image, it already takes up more than 20 pages.

I did not receive a similarity report for this review.

Hello, I wanted to ask if you have a similarity report when you review it? Is there any explanation for this?

目标投遍SCI 2022-09-30

The first round of review comments has been revised. Then, there is a similarity detection report for this journal. I want to ask everyone, what should be the maximum similarity rate for this journal? Mine is 20%. I am very worried.

Did it go online?

DOCTER WANG 2022-07-05

After being hired, it took four months to proofread, and even after ten days of proofreading, the results are still not online. It is really slow.

Excuse me, have you re-applied? I am in the same situation. I have been waiting for nearly 2 months for the re-audit result but haven't received any news yet.

The editing efficiency is high, but it took a long time at the reviewer's end. After submission, it took three months to receive major revisions. After the revisions, it took another three months for minor revisions. Then, it took 20 days for the revised version to be reviewed by the editor and accepted. The total time was seven months. ASCE has a good influence in the field of engineering geology. Although the process was long, it is fortunate that it was finally accepted.

It is indeed unpleasant, but generally, feedback is given once every two to three months, and it takes over a year to receive it. It is better than some journals where submissions can wait for half a year without any response. Most reviewers are very meticulous and help improve the quality of the paper. However, there have also been cases where reviewers were very perfunctory and biased. After arguing, the editor accepted to resubmit the paper.

The journal is very good, I will no longer submit.

Three reviewers conducted the initial review, one major revision, one minor revision, and one rejection. After repeated modifications and responding to comments, all reviewers agreed to accept the manuscript. The initial review took about 4 months, which is not fast, but the review process was rigorous. There were nearly 30 review comments, ranging from innovative issues to word and grammar errors. They really put a lot of effort and responsibility into it!! The reviewers are experts in the field, and their suggested revisions were mostly insightful, pinpointing key points, which greatly helped improve the overall quality of the article.

This journal is the slowest one I have ever encountered. I will never submit to it again.

The journal is still acceptable, but it is too slow. It takes three months for even a minor revision, such as changing the formatting. Friendly reminder: be cautious about submitting if you are in a hurry to graduate!

Research on Shear Creep Characteristics of Soil-Rock Mixtures; Two reviewers and the editor provided comments (major revisions), one of which suggested changing it to a Technical note; When responding to the comments, we insisted on Technical paper and successfully accepted! Waiting for early Online publication! Upgraded to the second zone of the Chinese Academy of Sciences this year, hoping for a smooth process next time as well!

The article submitted in the field of geotechnical engineering, with a journal's impact factor of 3.819 in 2020, surpassing Canadian geotechnics (hilarious). I hope the journal continues to improve, and I will continue to support it by submitting good articles in the future. The speed of the journal is not particularly fast, but it is acceptable.

Geomechanics field, lasted for 8 months, currently in the state of accepted pending final revisions. The journal has a generally slow speed, with a typical cycle of over six months. The journal's research direction is more theoretical and requires high originality. Mine belongs to the application of an old method in a new way, which directly changed the technical paper to a technical note, but it is still normally indexed in SCI.
