The external review was responsible, giving comments of revision in one sentence by one sentence. In addition, the questions raised were very professional. The article was submitted in August 2019. It took 7 months for the first review, and a lot of review comments were given (mainly because of the application of the long sentences). The revised manuscript was submitted in 2 weeks. One month after the submission of the revision according to the first review, the result of the second review was returned. The first expert pointed out some sentence problems. It was submitted on the same day after revision, and it was accepted in a week.

Received 18 November 2019; Received in revised form 21 March 2020; Accepted 22 March 2020; online 2 April 2020. I modified twice in total. The first time four reviewers asked more than 190 questions in total and only 6 minor questions the second time. It took less than four and a half months from submission to publication. It was terrible for me to revise the manuscript, and it took 45 days to make changes. Thank the hard-working editors and reviewers. The first article in my life! Yay!

Received 12 August 2019, Revised 18 November 2019, Accepted 9 December 2019, Available online 13 December 2019. The first manuscript was submitted in August and then comments were received at the end of October. The editor-in-chief was very dedicated and the invited reviewers were all very professional in the field. Since one of the three reviewers whom the editor found seemed not to be knowledgeable in my field very well, the editor who was in charge invited two more reviewers. Thus, there was a long-time delay. But the last unified opinions of the five reviewers were all minor revisions. It took three weeks to modify and submit it. Finally, after more than a month of waiting, it was directly accepted. Thank the editor in chief for being extremely dedicated to his work. He was really kind of editor that comments would be given only when he found suitable reviewers. The comments provided by the reviewers were very in-depth and instructive for my future work. Benefited a lot.

Fast responses. Email reminders at each stage. Innovation requirements are high. Be careful with language and formatting. Personally, I feel that Engineering Structures is a very good journal, especially the structural direction.

Why is ES so slow now? It's been 20 days and still in WE. Could it be because of summer vacation, and there aren't enough editors available?

Bro, are you UR now?

It may not be obvious at first glance, but based on various changes in status and numbers, I believe another reviewer has been invited. What about yours?

(0) Thank | k_flyyyyy

Did you invite new reviewers or did the previous fourth reviewer accept the review?

I submitted two in February, accepted two, and received two responses. I invited reviewers several times along the way, and the third one only accepted at the beginning of last month. It has been a month now, and there is still no response. It's really frustrating. If you don't want to review, don't accept. If you accept, please review on time. It's hard enough to find one that seem promising, only to end up disappointed.

The third one should have completely run away. I messaged customer service about this issue in the first two days, and now I have found a new reviewer who is reviewing it. If you also suggest, please ask. I didn't ask before, I was just waiting for the third reviewer, which has been delayed for more than three months. If I had asked earlier, I probably could have sent it to a new reviewer sooner.

Currently, it is still under review and there are no additional reviewers added. It has been in this state and the fourth person has still not accepted the review.
