@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.

Returned after 5 days, requesting recommended reviewers and adding a new statement in the letter.

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.

First submission, documenting the process
5/16/2026 Submitted and is now with editor, but did not receive any emails in my university mailbox, whether it is for PDF generation or other information.

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!

Have you submitted your paper for review? I'm planning to submit to this journal soon.

Are there any submissions that have been sent for review this year? I would like to know approximately how long it will take.

When did you start proofreading and has the paper been published online?

My situation is similar to yours. In the first round of review, 3 reviewers gave preliminary approval, 2 rejected and requested revisions, and 1 rejected. After submitting the revised manuscript, the editor emailed me informing that 1 reviewer still rejected it and I needed to persuade them, but I did not know the decisions of the other 5 reviewers. Does this mean that the other 5 reviewers have all accepted? Considering that one reviewer rejected the manuscript twice with harsh criticisms, what is the likelihood of the manuscript being accepted?

Could I ask if the main editor will reply by email after the revision? It has been a week since I submitted the revision and I haven't received any response yet. I don't know if the other party has successfully received it.

In 2026, the full-scale open source implementation and replacement by Aiswell Publishing are expected to reclaim the top spot in the civil engineering industry.
