Is there any follow-up on this? I just submitted my contribution.

The first submission received reviewer comments (3) and (10). After carefully revising it according to their instructions, it was rejected one month later for reasons (1) to (9) and (10). I am speechless.

(0) Thank | shaoyx2014

I am unable to comment, I have never had such a disgusting submission experience. The standard reasons for rejection are as follows:
1) relevance to FME's topic;
2) similarity index percentage (36%);
3) writing skills (language, article structure, description, etc.);
4) funds that support the research;
5) quality of figures and tables;
6) internationality or cutting-edge references;
7) author's research experience, H-index, published articles, citations of published articles, etc.;
8) cutting edge of the research;
9) potential citations after publication;
10) other items which do not meet the ……

How many months does it take to proofread the documents on the first few floors?

(0) Thank | 材料科学家

The journal submission process went smoothly, with submission and revisions completed within three months, and the paper was ultimately accepted. However, it has been over a month now and I still haven't received the proof. Does anyone know why?

(0) Thank | 材料科学家

It has been 10 days since submission, and it is still Awaiting Editorial Office Processing. How long does this status typically take, and what is the next status?

Classmate, I was also a direct tragedy at that time. Later I changed the format a bit and submitted it directly for review. It seems that you may not have replied in the Cover letter

(0) Thank | Loch

I also read a lot of comments. Most people think that the formatting requirements are very strict or the review process is slow. In terms of the first format, it must follow the instructions, otherwise it will be rejected directly. I also submitted after making revisions. Secondly, innovation is very important, even if something is very simple, it must be innovative. If you just make some changes to something and want to submit it, you probably will be rejected directly because the editors are very professional. In addition, I think the editors actually handle things very quickly. If you try Journal of Sound and Vibration, AMM, you won't feel that the process is slow. The reviewers are very professional, and the questions they raise are likely points for further research

You can write anything you like, and the editorial department will make the necessary revisions. The real challenge comes in the proofreading stage where they are very meticulous and sometimes a bit nitpicky

Can't do it in batches, have to manually type it out

Classmate, my situation is the same, may I ask how long for the proof?

Sometimes, it feels like this journal controls the speed in order to prevent a backlog of manuscripts.

2022.11 Major Revision
2023.01 Accept
I waited for 3 months for the first round of review, always awaiting reviewer assignment.
After sending a reminder, I quickly found a reviewer, and received their feedback within one month.
I had to wait for one month to start the review process after making revisions.

(1) Thank | Gomendy

I have blacklisted the journal. I submitted the manuscript in early October and it took a month to get a response. They mentioned that there were formatting issues but did not specify where the problems were, so I had to guess and make the necessary changes myself. After fixing the formatting, I waited for another month without any updates from the editorial department. Then, I started urging them for a response and they finally took some action by assigning an editor to find a reviewer. However, they spent a month searching for a reviewer and claimed that they couldn't find one, so they directly rejected the manuscript. The topic of the article was related to the dynamics of gear transmission systems, which aligns with the journal's scope. This journal is incredibly unprofessional and irresponsible. I will never submit to them again. Please be cautious as they are extremely slow and have an arrogant attitude.

This kind of garbage journal has indeed dropped to zone three.

May I ask if "awaiting reviewer assignment" means waiting for the editor to invite reviewers, or does it mean that the invitation has already been sent and now waiting for the reviewers to accept? How long does this process usually take?

The quality of FME's review is getting higher, and the opinions of all three reviewers are very professional.
However, the processing speed of the editorial department has become slower. Every submission has to wait for a month at the editorial department, wasting time.
