4.28 Submission; 5.24 Notification of first review. Two reviewers, one reviewer had a more positive attitude and asked 4 big questions and 3 small questions. The questions are all helpful to improving the quality of the paper. The second reviewer had a more critical attitude, asking a similar question to the first reviewer, and another question about innovation. Judging from the reviewer's comment attitude, it's pretty good. But they were difficult to answer, so it took two weeks to complete the answer. On June 7th, I submitted the revised version. On July 1st, I received a notification of acceptance. Because I saw that others received comments a week or even a day after the reply was submitted. I was discouraged when I waited and waited. But in the end, I received the notification on July 1st. I was very happy. It is also the best news this year. In addition, I think it's a bit biased that this journal was thought to be very average in the comments. You can't say the journal that accepts your manuscript is average and the journal that rejects your manuscript is rubbish. This thought is wrong. I still hope that everyone, especially comrades who are doing scientific research, will speak more objectively. The original intention and development direction of EML are very good. I hope that EML will get better and better. I also hope that all colleagues can go well. Good luck.

The review speed was much faster than these similar journals. It took less than 2 months from submission to acceptance in total. Thumb-up. The current impact factor was very close to JMPS and higher than IJSS. It may be more difficult to be accepted by this journal in the future. The prospects of the journal should still be good in the future, but the impact factor will not be too high, because it is a bit biased toward mechanical, and this field is not very hot.

1. The journal, who claims to be PRL in the field of mechanics, was founded in 2014 and was added to the SCIE list of the journal citation report in 2018. 2. The editors-in-chief is Mr. Zhigang Suo, a professor of mechanics, and it is fully supported by two members of the American Academy of Sciences. In the future, its IF will continue to rise and it is expected to surpass JMPS. 3. In recent years, the review of manuscripts has become more and more rigorous, the quality of articles has improved greatly, and the editors have raised relatively sharp questions, paying more and more attention to mechanism, and more emphasis on experimental verification. The novelty of articles is also good.

The journal is good, but the review process is a bit slow.

The manuscript submitted on December 17, 2024 was "With Editor" on that day. As of January 6, 2025, it is still "With Editor."

It has been over a month with the editor and nothing has changed, it's so slow.

Hello, it's been almost a month since I submitted my article and it's still with the editor. I wanted to check in and see how things are going.

It has been over a month since I submitted. How long did it take for your submission to go from under review?

Is it normal to have a waiting period of over a month with the editor?

Received at Editorial Office 13 Aug 2023
Article revised 19 Sep 2023 (Reviewer 1: minor revision, Reviewer 2: minor revision)
Article accepted for publication 23 Sep 2023
It seems that the editor processes manuscripts once a week.
The editors at EML are experts in mechanics, but the journal is relatively new.
They accept short articles on theoretical mechanics

The submission was made on 2023-3-27, and it has been 5 days. Why hasn't it reached the editor's hands yet? This efficiency is too low.

The chief editors are basically the big shots in this field of mechanics. Although the magazine was established relatively recently, it has great potential for development!
Currently, it will take some time for EML to achieve the same level of influence as JMPS and IJSS in the field of mechanics. It feels like EML is now more like the APL of the mechanics field.
I hope EML can return to the second-tier of mechanics journals soon and strive to enter the first-tier. At the same time, I also wish EML continued success!

The amount of submissions is increasing.
Looking at the early articles, the overall feeling is quite average. The mainstream community does not really recognize it.

(0) Thank | Papering

It's a relatively new and average journal. The founders and main editors are all Chinese, and there are many contributions from China. It is not recommended to submit good articles right from the beginning.

I handled it in about 3-4 days at that time.

Hello! I would like to ask how long it will take to process the manuscript after uploading it?

A journal highly recognized in the field of solid mechanics, it requires articles to be very innovative. My advisor mentioned that this journal is considered second only to JMPS in the field of solid mechanics and is currently becoming less popular. Although its quartile ranking and impact factor are not as high as CS, IJMS, IJES, and other journals, it enjoys a considerable level of recognition domestically and internationally with great potential. Our research group finds it easy to get papers accepted by CS and IJMS (around seven to eight papers every year), while this journal has only accepted four papers so far and has been rejected many times.

The speed is quite fast. The review comments were received after about 20 days of submission, and they gave a major revision period of 15 days. After the modifications, it was directly accepted. Editor-in-Chief Academician Rogers also handled it promptly. Thank you!

The manuscript was rejected after three months of review, and the process was very slow.
