2020.4.15 receive the manuscript; 2020.6.19 give the first review comments. The overall evaluation of the two reviewers was relatively positive, and they made some specific comments. Major revisions were required by the associate editor (in fact, the comments of the two reviewers had been returned early, and the associate editor did not give any comments for more than 20 days. I sent a reminder email and he gave it right away. It is suggested that the reminder should be sent.) 2020.7.3 Return the revised manuscript; 2020.7.5 Acceptance. (Two reviewers gave me the recommendation of acceptance on the first day after I returned the revised manuscript. The associate editor sent the notification of acceptance the next day.) Generally speaking, the review speed of this journal was relatively fast. Generally, the first reviewers' comments can be given within 2–3 months. There were 2–3 reviewers. The recognition in the industry is not bad. The self-citation rate is a bit high (but several journals in the industry have high self-citation rates, such as Journal of Constructional Steel Research, Engineering Structures, Composite Structures, and Construction and Building Materials).

This is my second SCI paper in this journal, and the direction is bionic structural mechanics. Submitted on January 19, 2020. The revision comments were returned on February 17, with 5 reviewers, about no less than 52 comments, and the editor still gave 60 days to us for revising the manuscript. The revised version was submitted on April 16, and we just received the acceptance notice today on May 9. I’m so excited. Tomorrow will be the defense for my PhD dissertation. Comment: Both my papers followed the same train of thought, starting with modeling, following with analysis of mechanical properties, optimization design, and experimental verification. My level is not good, and every time the opinions of the journal reviewers are too frustrating. Great efforts were made to revise the manuscript every time. Fortunately, it was accepted, I’m going to graduate, and the IF is not bad.

2018.11.30, submission. 2018.12.15, first revision required. There were 3 reviewers. Reviewer 1 thought the idea is meaningful and proposes 16 revision comments; reviewer 2 thought it was good and experimental work are very valuable, and proposes 2 revision comments, suggesting accepting with minor revisions; review 3 did not make a statement, but proposed 2 comments and 2 detailed revision suggestions; 60 days for revision was given. 2019.3.7, first resubmission of the manuscript. 2019.4.22, second revision required, when reviewer 1 and reviewer 2 agreed to accept it, reviewer 3 accepted the first reply, but further gave another comment and requested a reply. 2019.4.7, second resubmission. 2019.4.22, reviewer 3 accepted the second revision and agreed to accept it. Now waiting for the proofreading. I felt that: 1. The review efficiency is quite high. The submission will turn to under review within a week or so. The first review will be completed within 30 days and 60 days will be given for revision. The second and third review must be completed within 7 days as required by the submission system.

Dr. Chen Yu at the School of Urban Construction of Yangtze University published five papers in one year in this journal as the first author and correspondent author: “Behaviour of bird-beak square hollow section X-joints under in-plane bending,” “Experimental and finite element analysis research on cold-formed steel lipped channel beams under web crippling,” “Behaviour of square hollow section brace-H-shaped steel chord T-joints under axial compression,” “Aluminum tubular sections subjected to web crippling,” and “Numerical investigation of concrete.” You can tell how unexceptional this journal is. Basically, as long as one reviewer agrees to accept a paper, the paper will be accepted.

Hey, has there been any change in the status of the editor-in-chief you assigned to me? The one I have been contacting for a few days is still "WE" at the moment.

I have been rejected three times: 1) Each time I found more than ten reviewers, the quality of the reviewers varies, and some opinions are not very professional. In one submission, there were six reviewers, five suggested revisions, and one rejected the paper. In the end, the editor rejected it. The rejection reason was that the submission missed the deadline, the opinions were few and unprofessional, clearly rushed to meet the deadline. 2) We appealed twice, but the editor chose to ignore us, probably afraid of overturning their previous decision and affecting their reputation and the journal's reputation! Well, in situations like this, I can only accept my bad luck!

There are four reviewers in the first review, UR takes two months, RRC takes 35 days, and one reviewer has not replied yet. Can we remind them in this situation?

Excuse me, was the manuscript finally withdrawn? It has been three and a half months since the first review, and I still haven't received any feedback. Despite sending reminder emails, I was only told that they would help me urge the editor, but there has been no response after sending two emails.

Generally rejected, rejected for over a week. The longer the time, the easier it is to be reviewed.
