2020.08.16 submission; notification of being sent for review was received on the same day; 2020.10.08 review comments received; there were two reviewers, one required a major revision, and one required a minor revision. The comments were very pertinent, and they really helped to improve the quality of the article. Although a reviewer required a major revision, he still affirmed the innovations of my paper. The editor gave us two weeks to revise. 2020.10.22 review comments received. During the period, the editor reminded us to upload the clean revised paper. 2020.11.04 acceptance notice received. I was still very happy. Although the status of “a review is overdue” lasted for a while, we just needed to wait patiently. After all, the editor of the journal is still very serious and responsible. Although the impact factor of the journal is not high, you are still suggested to give it a try. At least the speed is good.

“A review is overdue.” is a status in the submission system of Open Journal Systems. As long as there is no reply from a reviewer due, this status will be displayed. In fact, there may have been enough reviewers to agree. Therefore, you can ignore this status. If the first review result of the article is not given in 2 months, you can write to the journal email to ask about the status.

There is a sentence on the journal homepage: "authors are asked to pay only 1,000$ US dollars per processed paper for production cost and Open Access fees." Do I have to pay this publication fee as long as it is accepted?

My paper was on mechanical simulation. I submitted September 17, peer review in mid-October, result: paper needed to be overhauled. One week later (end of October) revised draft uploaded. No follow-up news and the website had no feedback status listed. A few days ago, I finally sent an email. Letpub's submission URL on this page needs to be changed to: http://www.techscience.com/cmes/manu_script.html, which is the CMES journal linked under the tech science publishing group. The specific online submission system is located at: http://submission.techscience.com/cmes/login.asp. You need to register first, then you can upload the manuscript. Large manuscript uploads may be slow and may fail. My revised manuscript (less than 8M size) was transmitted seven or eight times before it was uploaded successfully.

The process is fast, and the reviewers' reports are professional and detailed. Hopefully, acceptance will come soon.

Overall, the process was quite strict. I had to make revisions based on feedback before resubmitting, and the external review took about a month with a lot of feedback provided. Before acceptance, there were also formatting suggestions given, and the editor helped me with multiple rounds of revisions. Thank goodness, it finally got accepted.

Suspected predatory open access journals, pay to publish, and affiliated with unknown publishers. The name may resemble well-established journals like CMAME (Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering), but in reality, there is a huge difference. Friends who submit articles must be careful not to mistake the journal names. Keep your eyes open.

Review comments are helpful for improving the quality of the paper, but the speed is not fast.

The review speed is okay, but the time from acceptance to publication is long. Overall, the journal quality is good, but there is a concern about the proportion of Chinese authors not being very fair, as many well-known foreign authors are also publishing

The paper published in 2023 was originally planned to graduate in 2024, but I was warned, so I suddenly couldn't use it to apply for exempted blind review. I really can't believe it
