Currently in the major revision stage, we were given 20 days. During the revision stage, there have been changes in author contributions. For the resubmission, we want to modify the author order. The first author remains the same, the fourth corresponding author becomes the second corresponding author, and the second and third authors move to the third and fourth positions. What suggestions do you have, should we communicate with the editor via email to get approval before resubmitting, or should we directly provide the updated author information along with the resubmission? Is there a high risk of rejection for making these changes?

I'm not sure how many reviewers this journal needs.

I have already received one opinion, waiting for another expert's opinion.

I'm not sure how long it takes, but my reviewer responded quite quickly. However, I saw online before that the invitation link sent by Aisville to the reviewers' email has a validity period of 14 days, so I guess yours may have expired and the editor has sent a new invitation.

I have contacted 10 reviewers, but none of them are available to review.

Not necessarily five, I have recently reviewed, just three reviewers.

@sylvia123, how long does it usually take for experts to accept manuscripts? I have submitted 5 papers and none have been accepted. I am feeling very anxious because I am often rejected due to not being able to find reviewers.

Do we still need to recommend 10 reviewers for this now?

@Corner Well, it was because the school blocked all external emails in the past two weeks.

It seems that there was an email notification on the first day for generating those PDFs.

Do all authors have to be confirmed as co-authors before there can be updates? I'm not sure about the submission status of this journal.

At that time, systematic submission had already started, and I expect the email was not receiving.

At that time, we started to submit systematically, I guess they won't accept emails.

In the field of civil engineering, the procedures are complex, the chief editor is responsible, and the review process is strict (I received feedback from 6 reviewers). Although it will be open source after 26 years, it is still worth it.

I applied in mid-January 2026 and submitted my application through email. It's now May and I still haven't received a response. Any fellow applicants with similar experiences, please offer some advice.

I submitted my manuscript through email and couldn't see how many were sent out. Five reviewers provided feedback.

May I ask how long it takes to receive the proof after it is received?

May I ask how many reviewers in total you have invited? I have invited six and four have accepted. It has been a while without any changes. I wonder if the minimum requirement is five reviewers.

The submission was rejected by the editor, it took about a week. You can submit it elsewhere, good luck!
