Transportation Geotechnics

I previously submitted a purely numerical simulation article, but three days later, the editor rejected it due to insufficient algorithmic innovation.

In October 2021, I submitted a purely experimental article, and it finally went through the review process. However, the review process was very long, and I didn't receive the major revision comments until the end of July this year. There were three reviewers who provided approximately 20 comments, and they were all very professional.

On September 14th, I submitted the revised comments, and after more than ten days of review, there was no need for a second revision. The article was directly accepted, taking a total of about 11 months.

The overall quality of the journal paper is good, but the review speed is average, and there may be a certain rejection rate.

PS: The impact factor has risen rapidly this year, showing great potential.

Journals are very dedicated to transportation geotechnics, so be cautious when submitting papers that are not related to the research direction of transportation geotechnics.

The first-time experience of submitting to this journal was not very good. I submitted on January 28th and was in communication with the editor until February 23rd. They directly mentioned that the scope did not match, which wasted time. The editor-in-chief, Professor Erol Tutumluer from UIUC, is really slow in handling the process. In the short term, I don't think I will consider this journal again for my research outcomes.

Wishing everyone good luck...
