This journal has the highest impact factor in the field of tribology, but it seems to lack international recognition compared to Wear and Tribology International. The number of published articles is low, there are too many review articles, and the peer review process is slow.

Is there any response to the reminder for submission?

(0) 讚！ | qq

I submitted the manuscript for half a year, with one reminder in between. There were two reviewers, one recommended revisions and the other rejected it. The review process was extremely slow and caused significant delays. The reviewers' comments were disorganized, and the one who rejected it seemed biased. There were 16 review comments, with each exceeding 300 characters, the longest being 500 characters. This is how domestic journals are, without any background support. I will not submit to this journal again.
