As a doctoral supervisor in a key university, I am very fond of this journal. However, the student… (An exempt student from an ordinary school originally, who originally beg to read a Ph.D. in my research group). I've changed it with good intentions for several months, but he still thinks it's too slow (He was so full of shit). The logic was obviously not right, but he was stubborn. The article was rejected soon after submission. I no longer care about this kind of students. I no longer agree to accept the exempt students. I’d rather to accepted students who have passed the postgraduate entrance examination. He really thinks he's a genius. Idiot!

It is an authoritative journal in fracture damage. The editor-in-chief was very nice and serious, who had a good grasp of the cutting edge. One month after submission, it was accepted. Five days later, it was proofread, and published in 10 days. I will submit again if there is an article with better innovation next time.

This article was first submitted to TAFM and was rejected quickly, then submitted to EFM and was accepted in just 3 months. The main reason for the delay was the one-month processing time for the initial review with the editor, which was quite frustrating.

May I ask how long it took for you to submit for review?

Both reviewers provided some very good suggestions and the feedback was quite prompt, but the editing process was a bit slow. After four months, the paper was successfully accepted.
