The journal review is slow, and the status has changed many times. After four months, the reviewers returned their comments and asked for major revision. The editor rejected the paper. In short, the speed of reviewing is not ideal, so avoid it if you want to publish very soon.

The paper submitted this time is related to the discrete element servo mechanism. There has been a delay in the review process as a second reviewer has not accepted the review, leading to a slow progress of the paper.

Bro, are you also in the field of civil engineering? I also want to try using the concrete I made for this.

The manuscript review has been delayed for ten months. The main issue is that the reviewers cannot be found. The editor mentioned inviting six rounds of twelve people, but ten people declined to review. After receiving the feedback, one round of revisions was completed in three days. Comparing with others around, it usually takes about three months to receive feedback. The main risk is that the journal has a broad scope, so it may not be easy to quickly find suitable reviewers.

Hello, may I ask how long have you been waiting for review?

If I hadn't seen your message earlier, it would have been incredibly slow. The editor is really dragging their feet.
