Oceans conference papers are transferred to this flagship journal of MTS. There are few papers published every year and the impact factor is very low. Peers who have requirements for impact factors are not recommended to submit. The review speed is very fast, and the industry recognition is also average.

Although the impact factor is low, I don't feel that the difficulty is low. The opinions of the four reviewers left me confused. There were probably more than 60 revisions, and it took me a month to make them. I added a lot of content, from 12 pages to 19 pages. Then, after another month, it was finally accepted. The difficulty feels similar to SAOS, but slower, and with a lower impact factor. At that time, I had submitted an SAOS article, so to avoid conflict, I submitted to MTSJ. The first three months were accepted, but it took over four months for the final acceptance. It was mentally exhausting.

Hello, was your paper recommended by the organizing committee to this journal? I attended Oceans 2021 and recently received an email recommending to submit additional content to this journal.

I am really speechless about this journal. It took over a year with three reviewers, two of whom passed and one rejected. Even though the two reviewers agreed, the journal rejected the publication due to the first reviewer's rejection. After a whole year, if the editor had agreed with the reviewers' opinions from the beginning, why did they keep asking for revisions and eventually reject it? I don't understand what this editor, who seems to lack common sense, was thinking. I advise everyone to be cautious when submitting to this journal.

The second article of this journal has not been reviewed yet, and it has been almost a month. The previous one was reviewed by external reviewers in less than two weeks. When I asked the editor, they said they are currently organizing the American Ocean Engineering Conference. I feel frustrated. I hope it will be reviewed soon.

Although the impact factor of the journal is average, the requirements are not low. I went through two revisions before finally being accepted.

Can underwater visual tracking contribute to this journal? I just want to graduate smoothly.

May I ask where you downloaded (viewed) the full text of the paper in this journal? I need to read a literature article in this issue recently, and I have tried various methods but still can't obtain the full text.
