COMPUTERS & STRUCTURES

The manuscript submitted in June is still under review, which is unbelievable. Those peers who are anxious to publish should be cautious when submitting to this journal.

The following is the manually recorded submission status time. Submitted: 31 December 2019; With Editor: 02 January 2020; Under Review: 06 January 2020; Revised: 24 January 2020; Revision Submitted: 14 March 2020; With Editor: 16 March 2020; Under Review: 18 March 2020; Accept: 26 March 2020. There were 2 reviewers in total, and the review comments were detailed. 4 months for revision was given by the editor-in-chief. It took more than one month for revision, and it was accepted in one week after resubmission. I have submitted articles to Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing twice. At the first time, the two reviewers required major revision and suggested transferring. The editor-in-chief rejected it and thought the article could be resubmitted after revision. The article was resubmitted after major revision. One reviewer required minor revision, the other one directly rejected the innovative points of the article, thinking that it did not meet the innovation requirements, and directly rejected it. It is estimated that I met the enemy; the editor-in-chief rejected the manuscript. I have no fate with Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, so I transferred it to CS.

A sad experience about this paper that published. In May, the first submission was directly rejected. After revision, it was re-submitted on August 15th. The editor-in-chief required us to change the recommended reviewers: different countries, different nationalities, two editorial boards, etc. After revision, it was re-submitted in early September. A few days later, it was under review. During the review process, the first review went through 7 months, and then major revision, 2 months to revise, half a month later, return for minor revision, 3 days to revise. And 4 days later, it was accepted. The reviewer opinions were very professional, and awesome, which greatly improved the quality of the paper. I have a feeling that this journal required the paper to have something new, especially writing clearly about the advantages compared to the existed methods.

This is a good journal that was re-launched in October 2011. Journals publishing articles on structure and mechanics have been on the rise in recent years. Reviewers and editors are more serious, and the requirements for manuscripts are relatively high. I think the journal quotes their acceptance rate at 15%. The review speed is 3 months. My situation is a special case, as no reviewers have been found, or the reviewers are unwilling to review the manuscript. Regardless of what’s up, they have been dragging for a few months. I hear the reviewers are big names in the field…

The editing process is very fast, and a large number of manuscripts will be discarded before the first draft is submitted. The reason is that it does not conform to the scope or does not provide the novel computation method.After the initial review, the under review is very fast, and the first review will be received within two months.Subsequent processing is a bit slower, but basically seeing the first-instance opinion will know whether it will be received.

selectd once, was changed, the original reviewer suggested, but was rejected.The speed is very fast, less than a month for the first trial, but it may be an example.Because looking at the articles published above, usually between 3-6 months.The journal has a high level and high requirements, and it is considered to be an authoritative journal on civil engineering.From the article number, the amount of submissions in a year is roughly between 900 and 1000. However, in the past few years, the amount of submissions is only between 100 and 150, so it is still very difficult.
