Submitted on January 27, 2019, reviewers invited for 40 days, then it was sent for review for 20 days. The results of the first review returned in about two months, requiring major revisions within two months. I spent forty days revising and resubmitted. It was sent for external review again for 26 days. The results were received then, requiring minor revisions. After revised submission and sending for review for another ten days, it was accepted on July 5th, and online on July 17th. The requirements for innovation are relatively high, and the reviewers are quite strict.

The review speed is OK – not fast or long. From my experience as well as my colleagues, the total review cycle is between 9 and 12 months. The main research focus is civil engineering; however, the journal also publishes articles on programming content, such as automation, and articles that are related to improving the efficiency of algorithms.

2025.1.2 The third reminder, this time with a more forceful attitude, mentioning concerns about the article becoming outdated due to the long time taken. The editor replied sincerely, adding a 1-2-13.
2025.2.2 The recipient of the added material neither rejected nor responded to the feedback, reverting back to 1-1-13.
2025.3.22 The fourth reminder was sent directly to the Elsevier official website, receiving a lengthy apology from the editor, stating that a single review opinion is not conclusive.
2025.3.29 The status remains at 1-1-13, feeling like the editor is avoiding responsibility. It has been almost a year and it is unclear whether the article will be withdrawn or if further reminders are necessary.

Record the submission time, nearly a year, a very rough submission, feeling that the editor has tried his best, the direction is related to BIM, urged four times. I don't know what to do in this situation, should I provide the recommended list of reviewers again next time I urge them? It's strange that no one accepted the review.

2024.4.18 submit
2024.5.17 Reviewer comments: one major revision, one seems to be a malicious rejection (reply to comments on the same day, less than an hour apart), finally rejected by the editor
2024.5.22 Resubmitted, thought there was nothing wrong with the writing, made major revisions according to the first reviewer's comments, declared in the cover letter that I may have been maliciously rejected
2024.6.11 Editor reviewed and sent for review, under review
2024.7.12 0-0-4, strange that no one gave comments
2024.7.30 0-1-10, editor added another reviewer, someone agreed to review
2024.8.19 1-1-10, first reviewer replied with comments
2024.8.30 Urged the editor, editor added another reviewer 1-2-11
2024.9.30 The additional reviewer did not provide comments, became 1-1-11
2024.10.31 Urged again. Editor added another reviewer 1-2-12
2024.12.2 The additional reviewer did not provide comments, became 1-1-12

The reviewers are very interested in the rationale and objectives, but unfortunately there are some issues with the writing (too rushed). They recommend redoing all experiments and submitting a revised manuscript today.

The English customer service is of no use. It looks like I will have to wait again. Please let me know if there is any news. Thank you, brother.

It seems I'll have to wait a little longer. Please let me know if there's any news. Thank you, brother.

Yes, RRC was less than a week before. I don't know what happened. I contacted the English customer service yesterday to urge them, but today it is still RRC.

(0) Thank | 打灰机

I feel like recently no one is handling the manuscripts for this journal, it seems like there is no progress. What's going on? It used to be quite fast before.

Still in "we", it has been a week, waiting in anticipation, hoping to receive an acceptance.

(0) Thank | Ben_accept

No, I have been assigned two reviewers one after another in the second round, and I don't know why there are still two reviewers in the third round. It has been five days since the RRC, and I think from what you said, there must have been one round of editing before the acceptance.

(0) Thank | 打灰机

Is your minor only from editing?

(0) Thank | PaperMachine+

How are you guys doing? It's been 5 days since my third review for RRC, and I still haven't received any feedback from the editor. I don't know what to do.

(0) Thank | 打灰机

May I ask if there will definitely be grammar modifications only from the editor-in-chief before acceptance? Is the process still RRC, then DIP, and then sending an email?

(0) Thank | PaperMachine+

It should have been dipped already, followed by a final review by the chief editor before acceptance.

(0) Thank | 土木+AI

The third revision has been made, and last time the editor wanted to improve the grammar. It has been two weeks since submission, and last week the status changed to "rc" on the public account, but the official website still shows "we." Is this still in the process of being reviewed? How much longer will it take?

(0) Thank | Ben_accept

Thank you, how long did your first review take? It's been four months already...

(0) Thank | SSAC

I have encountered half a month for one, and over two months for two.
