The level of this journal is very good, it is a Top+ one in new Q1, it is also the authority in the field of heat and mass transfer. The review speed is relatively fast. It took about more than one month for the last article, and it took four months for this article. The reviewers’ comments were very professional. Although two minor revisions were given, I was responsible for the article and added a few experiments to improve the level of the article. It took nearly 50 days for the reply. I hope that a few more articles on heat and mass transfer will be published later.

The manuscript was submitted at the end of April. Three days later, the editor-in-chief said that there are too many authors, and the number of authors was limited. We submitted it on the same day after the revision, and then one week later it was assigned to another editor from the editor-in-chief, where it took another week before it was sent for review on May 10. The comments of the first review returned on June 10, and the three reviewers required minor revisions. It took half a month to revise it, and it was submitted on June 25. It then was sent for review on the same day. After the second review returned on July 19, the first and second reviewers agreed to accept it. The third reviewer still had three questions. After 5 days of revision, I submitted it on July 24 and it was sent for review on the same day. On the morning of August 15, my supervisor called and told me that the article was accepted. I'm really happy. The journal is very fast, and the review comments can usually be returned in about a month. The editor is also very nice. I wish the journal better and better.

The manuscript was submitted on April 2nd. The first review was completed on May 2nd. The first review decisions were sent back on May 23th. Four reviewers required major revision with many comments. I was given one month to modify. I didn’t upload my revision until the day before the deadline. I received the second review decisions in a month. Three reviewers had no comments, but the first reviewer put forward a lot of new comments. The editor still required a major revision. The major revision lasted nearly three weeks. After the revision was uploaded, the rejection email was received on September 22th. The first reviewer said that there was a problem with the boundary conditions of one of my models. In the second round of major revision, I had confirmed that this setting had no influence and other papers had the same setting. And I also provided those papers. Unexpectedly, the article was rejected because of this issue. The editor was not friendly. In this case, why the editor didn’t invite a new reviewer. It's a waste of time and energy to make two rounds of major revisions but without acceptance. What a deceptive Journal!

Extensive review including grammar and language. 7 months overall. Very efficient editors.

How are you doing now? Have you resubmitted for review after the revisions? I encountered a similar situation today and provided 13 comments.

There are two reviewers in total, and one of them has been reviewing for almost two months and still hasn't finished... Did they run away? Should I remind them, or have they forgotten about it?

I have also encountered it, how about you?

Hello, is this your opinion?
1. Define figure symbols and curves either in a legend in the figure itself or in the caption. Make the height of the smallest capital letters and numerals at least 2 mm and make the diameter of each data point at least 1 mm. Make a curve’s linewidth at least 0.18 mm (0.5 point). Avoid small open symbols, shading, and cross-hatching in figures.

2. To strengthen your case for novelty and relevance, consider more recent heat transfer papers (last 5 years).

Not in the top anymore, hesitating whether to submit a contribution.

Don't worry, international heat and mass transfer will not be ignored, it is still the leader in engineering thermophysics, much stronger than Energy and ATE~~~

Hahahaha, I submitted a piece of work that my boss thought could be published in the supplementary issue, but unfortunately it didn't make it. If I had known earlier, I would have tried submitting to a few different sections. Isn't this ridiculous? In the future, let's all just aim for ATE.

Let's just invest in ATE in the future.

I am really upset that I submitted my best work to this journal and it didn't even make it to the top.

On March 7th, I haven't been happy for half a month, and I was directly poured a bucket of cold water. As a graduate student majoring in engineering thermophysics, I have always aimed to publish an international paper on heat and mass transfer. However, when I finally achieved this goal, my ranking plummeted, and I didn't even make it to the top.

The journal has declined, even the top ones are not what they used to be.
