When looking for a job, the leader asked me to put IJMS in the first place as my representative work. He asked what kind of journal is JMPS, is it a first-tier journal? I replied that it is a second-tier journal.

Oh Dream Love Magazine, challenging myself, hoping that my research can be valuable, success or failure, this will be my precious experience. I deliberately registered an account here to record it.

Hello, big brother, I have already added you as a friend. Welcome to communicate. Have you considered the International Journal of Mechanical Science, which is a top-tier mechanical journal?

Excuse me, where did the senior graduate go for his higher education? I also have a paper published in JMPS. Now, postdocs are required to publish in first-tier journals when they leave, where should I submit my paper in Mechanics for it to be considered a first-tier journal?

After watching it, I feel a lot of emotion.

During my doctoral study, I submitted JMPS three times and finally got one accepted before graduation. Originally, I planned to write two papers to submit to IJMS or other journals, but at the request of my supervisor, I combined them into a long paper to submit to JMPS. After a year of preparation, two months of initial review, and one month of revisions, it was finally accepted.

Looking back on my doctoral career at the engineering school, I squeezed research into the endless sideways projects, studying constitutive models and failure theories without guidance from my supervisor or senior colleagues. The first two years of research were hindered by lack of equipment for crucial experiments, and it wasn't until the year of the school closure due to the epidemic that I had the opportunity to focus on theoretical research. I took many detours over the years, often losing confidence in my research. While my peers were publishing papers on energy and materials, I struggled to write even one paper on mechanics theory in a year. As graduation approaches, I have one paper accepted by JMPS, one by IJSS, and two in the field of energy. Given the research environment I am in, I believe I have done my best.

Recently, my supervisor has been encouraging me to pursue a postdoc, but I feel I lack the connections, outstanding papers, and financial support to compete with the increasing number of graduate students and the higher standards of universities in recent years.

As for journals, I have witnessed the transformation of top journals from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to non-top journals in recent years, but I believe fellow solid mechanics researchers have their own considerations. I hope all my research colleagues can publish in their ideal journals, and I sincerely wish the younger students starting their research careers to have a good research environment and a successful graduate career.

2025 1.19 submit
2025 1.25 with editor
2025 1.27 under review（0/2）
2025 2.3 review completed（1/2）
I submitted once before and was rejected after a month, with only one review comment. This time, I hope to be lucky and successful. Feeling anxious.
jmps is the eternal dream journal of mechanics, recording...

The second round of reviewer comments came back 3 weeks later, with the status changed to "Required Reviews Completed".

I am also only one reviewer accepts the review, returns comments on the 1st, and then the decision is in process on the 3rd. According to the editor, if there is a dip, it is likely to be rejected.

The submission was made on November 22, 2024, and two reviewers were invited on December 11. One of the reviewers accepted and provided feedback on the same day, while the other reviewer has not accepted the invitation yet. As of January 3, 2025, the status of the submission is "Decision in Process".

Alexander invited 5 reviewers, 4 of whom agreed to review. The first reviewer finished reviewing the manuscript in 10 days, but it is unclear whether it was good or bad.

Yes... the review is done; the review comments went into the junk mail... and it has been really slow recently. Possibly because schools have just started in Europe and America.

RC has finished reviewing it. Your teacher must have forgotten to check the email.

Can non-corresponding authors no longer check the review process on the official website of this journal? Can they only do so through the WeChat mini program and the link shared by the corresponding author? I checked the WeChat mini program and it has been 2 weeks since it went from "rrc" to "rc", but there has been no progress. What should I do?
