Is it appropriate to submit technical research related to the manufacturing of electromechanical equipment, such as machine tools, robots, and flexible fixtures, to this journal? The research will be based on specific manufacturing scenarios and requirements (not machining, but assembly).

It's not going well. The reviewer's comments are all wrong, and some articles are resubmitted without receiving any feedback from the reviewer. As soon as a new reviewer is appointed, they immediately provide feedback and the editor makes a decision. What's going on?

The quality of the review comments from IJMTM is very high, accurately capturing the core issues; some reviewers are very rigorous, demanding more specific analysis/examples. In addition, if you can't hit the nail on the head, it's really hard to convince the reviewers. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are very few journals in the machine tool/manufacturing field with such serious review comments. The processing speed of the editors is also very fast, basically getting things done in 1-3 days.

Overall, it was a very challenging submission experience, but the rewards were great. Many thanks to the reviewers and editors.

The probability in this journal is too low, only 40+ per year and half of them are reviews. I usually reject in one day anyway.

The rejection was quick, as the editor replied that the new theoretical model pursued by the journal was defined as an incremental paper. Mechanical engineering has always been ahead of its time, I don't know how it can still explode with innovation.

Similar to the experience of the original poster, continue to receive good luck, successfully re-enter, and if you win, treat the original poster to a thank-you dinner~

It really makes you feel that the submission experience is very poor

The review speed is relatively fast, but the comments are really hard to put into words. Although there are many comments given, they are long-winded. The most annoying thing is that the three reviewers they found do not understand the research content of the manuscript, and they give random opinions. I don't know how they found the reviewers. I personally cautiously optimistic about the development trend of extreme manufacturing journals

Is it a total of three rounds of review to reject once, reject and resubmit once, and revise substantially?

Hello, how long have you been with the editor, and have you submitted the final version for review?

(0) 讚！ | 干就完事啦

1/3 submitted, 1/5 with editor, 1/6 with editor (date changed, status unchanged), still with editor as of 1/15. I thought this journal was supposed to be fast

The higher the Impact Factor, the harder it is to submit. The first two articles were fine, but the third one was a struggle. After being rejected and invited to resubmit, it was finally accepted after major revisions

Hasn't it been posted by our senior brother already, so studying it doesn't count as being innovative?
