My research direction was laser surface micro-sculpting, lubrication design and surface tribology. 2019.9.17, submission; 2019.11.19, major revision; 2019.12.13, major revision; 2020.3.2, accept. There were 4 reviewers and nearly 30 comments. It can be accepted with high probability as long as it was revised carefully. Generally speaking, the speed from submission to acceptance is OK.

I research in the resin matrix composite, focusing on friction. 2019.3.13 submitted; 2019.5.11 major revision; 2019.5.26 revision submitted; 2019.5.29 accepted. The four reviewers were very cautious in their opinions. It took more than 2 months from submission to acceptance. The speed was quite fast.

For me, the review speed of this journal is very slow. It took eight months from submission to receiving the first review comments, and then the second round of review. Two reviewers. Overall it took a year. The editor of this journal is very kind and diligent, and the reviewers are also very nice.

Is this journal good? Is it of high quality? How long is the review process?

4.06 resubmitted for revisions 
4.15 Awaiting Reviewer Scores 
Outcome unknown

After one round of revisions, one week later, "Awaiting Reviewer Scores" appeared. Does this mean we need to find another reviewer? I'm so worried.

I hope the journal will continue to improve. I have no idea what the Chinese Academy of Sciences zone is up to all day, throwing this kind of journal into the fourth zone is really a serious problem. I hope every journal will be in its rightful place.

I feel that this journal is pretty good. I submitted to it at the end of last year, and it was quickly downgraded to the fourth quartile. I really feel that it's unreasonable, as the impact factor is not low and the peer review process is very strict and standardized. I hope it will return to the third quartile.

This year it has become the Chinese Academy of Sciences Zone 4 again. I feel that some of the articles inside are actually quite good and shouldn't be categorized as Zone 4. Even Zone 3 is not stable. There may be even fewer submissions in the future.

Why wasn't there an option to choose between open source or non-open source when submitting a contribution?

Could you please clarify whether the manuscript has been in the "reviewers selected" status for two and a half months, and then changed to "Awaiting Reviewer Selection"? Do we need to find new reviewers?

(0) Thank | Veronique

Awaiting Publications Manager Processing. Do you have this stage? How long do we have to wait for it? It's been three days and the editor still hasn't been assigned, why is that?

When submitting an article, should the pictures be uploaded separately or included in a new Word document?

I actually feel that the editorial process of this journal is very fast, but some reviewers keep delaying. One reviewer took 2 months to review my paper

(0) Thank | 摩擦制动求交流

Waiting for ae's decision will be quick. I only took 1 week, just because it took a long time to find reviewers and for external review

Thank you for your response. It has been two months since I submitted my repairs, and there has been no progress. It's so slow

(0) Thank | 兵马俑会心动

Not serious, in my opinion, means just some minor revisions. I have encountered mandatory revisions required in this journal twice, once submitted again after mandatory revisions, and the other time the submission was accepted directly after revisions

How long does it usually take for AE to make a decision?

(0) Thank | 摩擦制动求交流

What does "Mandatory Revisions Required" mean? Is it more serious than a major renovation???

Already in the review status, please wait patiently, good luck~

(0) Thank | Q1

May I ask if the review status has been "Reviewers Selected" for a month now? Does this mean that the reviewers have already started reviewing, or is it that they haven't agreed to accept this review task yet? Should I send a reminder?
