This journal was very efficient. The primary review results were given in more than one month, and the acceptance can be confirmed in about three months. However, if the article is not good enough, it is not recommended to submit to it. The questions raised by the reviewers are very sharp and difficult to answer. It needs to be creative and innovative. It has a higher requirement, which emphasizes and stresses theoretical derivation in the article than other journals, which requires only simple theoretical derivation. It must be detailed! The number of submissions is large, while the acceptance rate is low. It is suitable for those who have confidence in their own work. It is more difficult than structure or material journals!

An old brand journal in the field of fracture mechanics. From the name of the journal, you can see that it is specialized in fracture mechanics. It covers theoretical improvement and numerical simulation and experiments. The journal is quite demanding, and the opinions from reviewers are very professional. Authors who are confident about their own results can give it a try! The articles here have more value for studying than those in RMRE.

My experience was that the review is very fast, and the editor was good. But you cannot submit through the Elsevier website, you are required to send a direct email. The most important thing is that when your paper is accepted, you will be sent a message saying that there is no charge for the publication layout, but you need to pay the editor and staff costs 140 kn. per hour. The layout fee is more than 3,000 RMB. The last time I checked, the original journal was done in China.

Later, how long does the second trial take, friend?

Dear friend, I would like to ask if it is necessary to submit response letters when revising this journal. I forgot to submit them and waited for fourteen days. The reviewer's feedback was requesting response letters. The email stated it was minor revisions, but in this case, it seems like it is not minor revisions. Could it be that the reviewer did not read it?

The editor-in-chief handles it very quickly, I haven't even seen the DIP, basically the RRC editor-in-chief handled it as soon as they started work for the day.

I submitted to this journal for the first time, and the editor's response time was incredibly fast, with the manuscript being processed within half a day each time.

In early May 2025, I submitted the manuscript. One reviewer agreed to review it, and their comments were returned on the 23rd. The editor continued to invite new reviewers, and finally a second reviewer accepted the assignment.

In mid-June 2025, minor revisions were made and submitted.

By the end of June 2025, the revised manuscript was submitted for review again. The reviewers did not respond, and the editor had to resend it twice.

In early July 2025, the manuscript was accepted.

Once again, I commend the editor for their swift handling of the process!

The review process is quick, with the submission being sent for review within 1 day if it aligns with the journal's focus and innovations. As for the review time, it depends on the mood of the reviewers, usually averaging around a month, but some may complete it in as quickly as half a month.

The review speed is super first-class, the experience is great, just submitted, and the result will be available within 10 minutes. I was in a state of confusion and was rejected, hahaha. Review comments: Although your manuscript falls within the aim and scope of this journal, it is being declined due to lack of sufficient novelty. We receive a much larger number of papers than we are able to accept.

The editing processing speed is very fast. It was returned for revision twice, and was accepted on the same day after being sent back the second time.
