In my first and second year of graduate school, this journal was in Q2. I was disdainful to submit to it at that time. It later rose to Q1. I immediately submitted an article to it for the reward given by school to the articles published in Q1 journals. 7.9, submission; 8.2, major revision; 8.29, the revised manuscript was submitted, and it was sent for review on the same day; 9.1, the review comments were returned, but they were still with the editor; 9.7, email received and minor revision was required; 9.12, the revised manuscript was submitted, and it was accepted on the same day. Thanks to editor-in-chief M.F. During the PhD period, the direction was changed. However, I still wish this journal gets better and better. After all, there are too few professional journals on tribology.

6.3, submission; 7.26, first review, major revision; 8.15, the first revised manuscript was submitted; 9. 07, second review, minor revision; 9.11, the second revised manuscript was submitted; 9.11, accept. The whole review process is very fast. It is about friction and wear. The editor Hong Liang is very nice, and the efficiency is very high. The reviewers were also very efficiency, and after the first review, the manuscript was revised nearly 14 pages. I have submitted to Tribology International several times, but they were all rejected by the editor directly. It’s not easy to be accepted this time, thankful!

The review speed was fast! The editor was responsible and efficient, who was a role model for us. The first review cycle was one month. (I answer the questions that other colleagues care about: I made a simple statistic, the average (time) is 2–3 months, and I personally feel that it depends on the quality and importance of the manuscript.) I share (the information of review) here to show thanks! 2019.12.16, submitted; 2020.01.15, major revision; 2020.01.23, revised; 2020.02.10, accept.

Hello, is there any movement after the update? My update seems to be stuck, it's been stuck at "We" for a while.

I have been "We" for almost 3 months, changed twice in the middle, and then nothing happened. My mentality collapsed, and then recovered, and collapsed again. True happiness.

Five reviewers were sent for review a month ago, only one of them was willing to review and their feedback has been back for half a month. Why hasn't the editor found new reviewers yet? Are they waiting for responses from the other four reviewers?

It's been three weeks since the second review, and it's still "with editor". Is everyone's wait time this long?

May I ask if the recent submission to TI can exceed 120 words in the abstract?

Hello, may I ask how long it took for Liang Hong to review your submission after you submitted it?

(0) Thank | lucky an

I see that you mentioned there is also a reviewer who has been refusing to review the manuscript. Have you followed up during this period? In my case, there has been a reviewer who has not accepted the manuscript during the second round of revisions (waiting for 2 months now). I am not sure what to do now and wanted to ask about your situation. Looking forward to your reply.

Hello, has the status been updated?

(0) Thank | 曲宏爽

Submitted on January 28th, under editor review on February 14th, status changed to "desk reject" on February 27th. A journal that not only rejects but also takes a long time to do so, wasting time.

Is your editor Liang Hong? Was there any reminder for submission during the period? My paper has also been under revision for 2 months now, as one of the reviewers did not accept the manuscript.

This made me apply for a two-week extension.

I am also sure that it was delivered to Liu Weimin's hands, what a stroke of bad luck.

Hello, I see that your revision deadline is November 29, 2024, and the revision submission is due on December 3, 2024. I wanted to ask if you have applied for an extension? I would like to polish the language for the first review, but time is running out.

May I ask if there is any news? It's been almost two months and it's still in the editor's hands.
