Very rigorous editor; high language requirements; rigorous scientific issues; although it has been six months since I submitted a manuscript, I think this is a good journal with rigorous content.

There are two articles, one on adhesive and the other one on bonding. The review time was relatively long, but the editor was very serious, the letter was kind, and the suggestions given were also very professional and pertinent.

The editor of this journal is really very, very unreliable. He has no definite opinions of his own. The manuscript was revised twice. Two of the reviewers had no problem with it, but the third one kept asking stupid questions. It was a waste of time. It was withdrawn directly. Don't submit your manuscript to this journal.

In the 17th year of August, there was no news in December of the 17th, saying that the reviewer could not be found, and the language level of my paper was not good.When there was no news in January 18, I changed an article. The editor-in-chief said that it might extend the review time. I said yes.The result changed the article. From January to June of the 18th year, I asked once or twice in the middle. I have always said that the language level is not very high. I have not found it when I try to find a reviewer.It almost cost me a whole year.You should never select for this journal again in the future.

How much time does this journal typically give reviewers for the review process? Two reviewers have accepted but have not yet completed their reviews.

The research direction is adhesives, which is relatively niche. It cannot be published in a first-tier or even a second-tier journal, so I decided to submit it to this well-established journal in the field. I only knew that it might be slow, but since I don't need the article in the short term, I submitted it. However, I only realized after submitting that it is indeed very slow:

I submitted it on January 3, 2023, and it took over two months until March 13 for it to be assigned to an editor. As of April 13, it is still under review.

Submitting to this journal requires reserving half a year to a year for the publication process.

I want to cry but there are no tears.

2023.1.23 Submission
2023.1.23 ~ 2023.3.11 Manuscript submitted. Sent a letter to the editor through the submission system once to urge for review, but it was ignored.
2023.3.11 ~ Present, with editor
Indeed, it took a long time. I am also stubborn and insisted on submitting it...
Fortunately, another article has been accepted recently, meeting the graduation requirements. I will slowly work on this one in the future! Let's not talk about those urgent publication demands. If you don't have a one-year time budget, don't submit to this journal! For those who have a one-year time budget, don't you want to submit to a better one?

Half a year has passed, and we still haven't found a reviewer.

A month has passed, and it is still "manuscript submitted," similar to another situation mentioned in the comments section. May I ask if you have encountered this situation when submitting to this journal?

Newly hired, the second of July was the date for the second review.

(0) Thank | 海海的1

I submitted it in March, then the second review was not until July. It has been over three months since the second review comments were returned, but there has been no news at all. It's really dragging on. I won't submit again next time.

Hello, I would like to inquire about whether co-authors need to confirm. Do other authors need to click on the link in the email to confirm their identity as authors?

This journal is an authoritative journal in the field of adhesive joints, relatively niche, and the quality of the papers is good.

(0) Thank | 白鹤

Adhesion, a well-established journal in the field of adhesives, has not been actively participating in citation contests in recent years. Additionally, due to the relatively narrow scope of the field, the impact factor has been increasing slowly. Overall, it has always been a reputable journal in this field.

Hello, did you submit your article directly on the official website or did you send it to the editor via email? It has been almost a month since you submitted it on the official website, and it is still in the "Manuscript submitted" status. I'm not sure what the reason is.

Same here on the 10th floor, I also encountered the same issue. The editor ignored it and believed that the reviewer had no problem. The review process took four months, and the other two reviewers had no issues. The third reviewer raised unrelated questions and, in the end, the submission was rejected.

will be submitted by email, directly to the editor, and the editor will receive the manuscript.After about three months, I received the review comments. There was only one reviewer, overhaul, and carefully revised according to the review comments. The more carefully, the better, and the third day after the reply, I received the mail.I feel that the editor and reviewer are more nice, the experimental data is comprehensive, and the framework is generally not rejected.good luck!
