Dear SCSHM community members,

I am writing to provide a brief update on the publication status of the Journal of Civil Structural Health Monitoring (JCSHM).

As previously mentioned, the society and Springer are finalizing the publication agreement for JCSHM. The society has formally communicated its position to Springer, including a constructive way forward to ensure publishing continuity during the negotiation of the new agreement. Springer has acknowledged receipt of our letter and has indicated they will respond in due course. We are currently awaiting their substantive response.

In the meantime, to avoid any confusion, the society has also communicated with relevant colleagues regarding announcements, ensuring that any citing or recommending of publications in JCSHM is temporarily suspended until the publication agreement is formally finalized.

The regular editorial and manuscript handling processes for JCSHM will be temporarily suspended until the publication agreement is finalized. We understand that this delay may cause inconvenience, especially for authors who have already submitted or are preparing manuscripts, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding.

Please rest assured that the society is actively engaged in this matter and is committed to resolving it in a way that upholds the integrity, continuity, and long-term partnership with the publisher of the journal. Once the agreement is reached and the editorial workflow is fully restored, we will inform you promptly.

Thank you for your continued support of JCSHM and the society.

Brothers, it's been nearly 6 months since we submitted our work, and it's still under review. We are speechless. If anyone is in the same situation, please let us know.

I sent an inquiry email to the administrative customer service. Based on the reply from the administrative customer service, it seems that they cannot reach the editorial department either. I am now considering withdrawing the submission directly. Brothers, really be cautious when submitting!

I submitted the manuscript in December 25 years ago, it's been almost 5 months and it's still under review. It seems like this editor has been on vacation for too long! Is there any issue with this journal? Any experts out there who know what's going on? I've tried emailing the editor directly but haven't received any response, I don't know how to withdraw my submission.

I submitted the article in January 26 years ago, and it has been in the status of "W E" until now. What should I do? Is there a way to contact the editor in this situation?

(0) 讚！ | 胡淳俊

It's been over two months, still with the editor. I wonder why? Is it because there are too many manuscripts to process, or has it been overlooked?

Started investing in May of the 25th year, had a major repair in August, and after sending it out for review, it has been under review until the 26th year. Up to now, the editor still hasn't made a decision. It's too slow, speechless.
