The journal was added to the index in 2018. It took 4 months from submission to acceptance. The review speed is relatively fast, which generally takes about one month. The number of published articles was small, and the reviewers’ comments will not be too strict in general. Those who have graduation requirements can submit articles here. It mainly focuses in the direction of mechanical friction.

This journal is very slow at responding (I submitted my paper in mid-December and after making revisions, it was accepted at the end of May). The language requirements are higher.

This is the second paper accepted by this journal. Thank you STMP, I have met the graduation requirements for my thesis. I am sincerely grateful and hope that STMP's papers continue to improve. The editors are truly responsible and diligent, making rounds of revisions and carefully examining the article's structure, theory, methods, and images. I have learned a lot from their meticulous work. Keep it up!

Three reviewers and the editor are quite professional. This journal prefers submissions related to friction and wear.
