2025.12.18 with editor
2025.12.29 under reviewed
2026.02.28 reviewer invited (one reviewer ran away, another reviewer was invited)
2026.03.12 under reviewed
2026.04.02 revise for re-reviewed (based on the comments from the first round of review by three reviewers)
2026.05.04 resubmission
2026.05.12 under reviewed
2026.06.29 minor revision (only requires editor's approval after modification)
2026.07.02 resubmission
2026.07.11 accept

Overall, this journal is very good, and the review process is relatively fast (except for the delay caused by one reviewer running away in the first round). The reviewers take a bit longer to review, but the editors are quick in their responses. The reviewers in the first round provided professional and relatively easy-to-address comments. The journal pays close attention to formatting issues, and they provide a template in the rejection email for the initial submission. For other formatting issues, authors can refer to the author guidelines section of ASCE.

Hey buddy, what's the plan for later?

What does it mean when the status changes to "Editor Decision Submitted" after 3 days of submission? Does it mean the paper has been rejected outright?

2025.12.04 - major revision (Reviewed by two reviewers, both provided friendly feedback)
2025.12.15 - resubmitted

2026.01.05 - resubmission
2026.01.12 - accept
Overall, the review process was quite fast, with the initial review taking longer likely due to finding reviewers, but the feedback for the second review came back quickly. As it is an American journal, most emails from the journal were received in the early morning. The journal has high formatting standards, and each submission was sent back by the editorial team for formatting issues, requiring resubmission. The journal provided an Overleaf LaTex template, which was very convenient.

Hello! May I ask how long it will take to review the sample after being hired, and how long it will take to publish it?

Excuse me, where can I see how many reviewers have accepted the manuscript for review? Thanks, bro.

It may be a new method, with 7 experts agreeing to review. The first round of review took 7 months, with feedback received from 6 reviewers. Responses were provided one by one. The second round of review lasted for six months, with 4 reviewers agreeing and 2 reviewers having disputes. Continued responses were made, and over a month later, the 2 reviewers had further comments, but the Associate Editor (AE) approved, so only the AE needed to see the third round of revisions. The manuscript was returned on a Friday, possibly during a holiday, and no one handled it over the weekend. However, it changed to "Under review" on Monday night, and was directly accepted on Tuesday night.

Special thanks to the AE for the opportunity. It was a tough submission process, and the reviewers' comments were very professional, some of which exceeded the author's abilities, but every effort was made to resolve and explain them, ultimately gaining the AE's approval. Will continue to submit in the future.

There is a 12-hour time difference with the AE, and typically receive review decisions in the midnight and early morning hours.

Excuse me, where can I download this Word template? Please let me know.

Same question, are the figures and tables not included in the main text but rather placed directly after the references?

The journal has strict formatting requirements, and the editorial review and reviewer feedback are prompt, making it a good old-fashioned journal!

Hello, is the final submission in Word format?

Is the title list of this picture a table for drawing a picture? Or is the picture listed behind the manuscript? It should just be a list of pictures, right?

Journals have strict requirements for formatting and uploading methods, so it is recommended to take them seriously
