It took 2 months for the review, and there were 2 reviewers. The first one accepted it directly, and the second one rejected it strongly. My research and the one of second reviewer are in the same research field. The editor didn’t ask me to revise. I was required to answer the comments of the second reviewer, and make some appropriate refutations. It took me one month to revise and refute the second reviewer. After the submission of the manuscript, it was accepted in one day. The submission to this journal is much better than to Journal of Biomechanics.

The first manuscript was submitted in mid-August 2019 (a year ago), the result was received in one month, and it was accepted after minor revisions. The second manuscript was submitted in October 2019, and was sent for review soon. Maybe the reviewers were busy, and after waiting for more than 3 months this time, a minor revision was required and then it got accepted. The third manuscript was submitted in late July 2020, and sent for review on August 1. The result is unknown.

On October 8, 2019, the manuscript was submitted. On October 18, 2019, it was under review. On December 20, 2019, review comments came back. Major revisions were required and resubmission was recommended. It had something to do with the research content of the article that my opinion returned a bit late. The other articles were given about one month to revise, and the system gave me two months to revise. On January 18, 2020, the editor reminded the manuscript and asked whether the response to the comments would be returned. On February 12, 2020, I submitted the revised manuscript after revising carefully for over 50 days. On February 18, 2020, under review. On March 28, 2020, Required reviews completed. On April 18, 2020, Decision in process; on April 20, 2020, Accept. Because the revised manuscript was returned late for a month, but it should be completed within three months. Thank the editor of the journal very much for being very responsible. The invited reviewers were very professional and friendly.

The journal is very professional. I was fortunate enough to have an article selected for publication. The process went smoothly and the review speed was fast. The four reviewers were very responsible. One of the reviewers even pointed out the grammatical errors and provided the correct words. Thanks to the journal and editor-in-chief! I hope everyone can support them.

Thinking they know it all, they don't even know the chief editor Markus, and still have the nerve to say they only accept articles from small circles. If you can't even get into the small circle of biological materials mechanics, what are you still doing here? If you really think you're great, submit your work to JMPS for mechanics or a sub-journal for materials. Why bother trying this journal? Just a clown in a fit of incompetence.

Even the shitty journal rejected you, aren't you even shittier? Hilarious, blaming the journal for your lack of ability.

It is normal to be dropped from the area. The editor-in-chief's level and thinking are questionable, only accepting magazines from a small circle, it doesn't matter if they are not read. They also think highly of themselves, ranking at the bottom in the field of biomaterials. It has nothing to do with mechanics, they are all mechanical behaviors. Those who understand know that mechanics and mechanical behaviors are two different things, one is essence and the other is phenomenon.

The person in the comments section seems to be in a hurry and frustrated, it's really amusing haha. And they even want to step on Markus Buehler, you really don't know much.

Because the editing level is not sufficient and unprofessional, the reviewers chosen are not suitable.

Because the editing level is not good and unprofessional, the reviewer we found is not suitable.

(1) Thank | abcdefghijk

The significant decrease in impact factor is due to the unfair review process. The chief editor only accepts submissions from people within his own circle, and those he doesn't know are often rejected without review. Some of the accepted articles are of poor quality, leading to a loss of credibility and readership for the journal. The chief editor is not focused on serious research, but rather prefers to publish flashy articles with little theoretical or practical value.

May I ask, what is the current status now?

Too slow. Review process is super slow

The editor-in-chief of this magazine, Markus Buehler, is very irresponsible. The manuscript was submitted to him on May 15, but he kept dragging it until the 26th before rejecting it, citing lack of innovation, which is just an excuse! I have read similar articles in this magazine, and there is nothing significantly innovative. It seems like he just procrastinated and didn't want to review it, wasting the authors' time! Looking at the editor's resume, although the data looks impressive, it seems like he is only pursuing trendy things to seek attention. This magazine is just a publication for a small circle, and no one should submit their work to it

(1) Thank | abcdefghijk

Small Circle Magazine, if the editor doesn't know you, they basically won't review it. If you don't have connections, don't bother submitting

Have you asked for it? Do we need consent from every author?

(0) Thank | sgd123

After submitting the manuscript, do all authors need to confirm the information? Currently, there is no confirmation yet and the status is "with editor." Is this normal?

The editor is very irresponsible. The reviewers they found are not professional at all and seem to have no knowledge in the field. It feels like the reviewers didn't even read my article. They said I didn't write certain things and that my model is wrong. The content the reviewers said I didn't write is actually covered in the corresponding section of my third chapter. If the editor had just taken the time to read my article along with the reviewers' comments, they would realize how outrageous it is. This editor is also not like editors from other journals who frequently send emails. In the rejection letter, the editor did not provide their own opinion on the article. They only sent emails for submission, peer review, and rejection. I didn't even know the editor's name before receiving the rejection letter, as the previous two emails were automated replies.
