Mechanics is an old and well-established journal with a high quality.

Not bad, isn't it better to categorize it into the Materials Science discipline? I feel that the Materials Science discipline is quite broad. As long as the sub-disciplines include mechanics and mechanical engineering, its categorization is not the same as sub-disciplines that include chemistry and characterization testing. If the Materials Science discipline is categorized under Engineering and Technology (with many strong journals related to mechanics and mechanical engineering), then it is bound to be classified as a Q3 category.

The classification of material mechanics has changed from engineering technology to material science, does it make sense?

Efficient journal! The editors review and make decisions very quickly! The submission experience is excellent. I have submitted twice, once rejected and once accepted. Hope to be able to return to the top tier.

Hello, may I ask how you wrote the author agreement when submitting your work? Is it necessary to write a handwritten signature?

The pure stream in editing does not require self-citation, with a self-citation rate of less than 10%. Moreover, it limits the number of references. Currently, many journals have a self-citation rate of over 20%, leading to an inflated impact factor.

It took seven months and two revisions, but finally there is a good result. The reviewers are highly skilled and strict, and the journal is indeed top-notch.

The review speed of this journal is really slow. It has been 5 months since the first review and it is still under review. I am prepared for the new year already... If you are in a hurry, be cautious about submitting.

This journal used to be well-regarded and considered a leading journal in the field of mechanics. However, it has now declined a bit. It has dropped from being in the first quartile (Q1) to the second quartile (Q2), and now it has even fallen to the third quartile (Q3). What is going on? This is quite a situation...

Second review lasted for 29 days, manuscript review is completed, and the editor accepted it within 1 day. Most of the answers to questions were in academic communication with the reviewers. Keep up the good work.

An article on a viscoelastic mechanical model has been under review in the Journal of Rheology for 8 months. The copyright transfer was completed during the process, but it was rejected in the end. Then, I submitted it to another journal and received the first round of review in 40 days, with only minor revisions required. The reviewer mentioned that the article contains valuable content for the field of material mechanics, and the editor stated that our contribution is highly valued in material mechanics journals. Currently, it has been 15 days since the second round of review started. I hope it gets accepted as I have already been a master's graduate for a year. Feeling exhausted.

My under review has only been 4 months, it seems like I've waited for nothing.

It has been four months, and it has been under review all this time. What on earth is going on?

The submission was rejected after one week, with the reason being that it had a high similarity to my previously published article and lacked originality.

Posted on Jan. 16, 2021, the manuscript was processed for about a week. On Mar. 28, 2021, a rejection letter was received. Two reviewers provided around ten comments, mainly focusing on the mechanical model. Overall, it appears that the reviewers are scholars with a deep research background in mechanics. The author believed that some of the comments were due to misunderstandings by the reviewers and wrote a 10-page rebuttal letter. On Apr. 20, 2021, the manuscript was resubmitted, but it was rejected again on Apr. 26, 2021. According to the journal's requirements, the paper will not be reconsidered for resubmission after rejection. The Editor-in-Chief (EiC) for the initial rejection was Jean-Francois Molinari, and for the second rejection, it was Ghatu Subhash.

Where can I see the threshold of Zone 2, please?

Rejected twice in two months, with three reviewers giving two negative and one positive review.

The translation of the text "审稿两个月拒稿" from Chinese to English is "Rejected after two months of review."

It's really slow. It has been two months since submission and it's still with the editor. Even after following up, the status hasn't changed. I won't dare to easily submit to this journal in the future.
