Submitted, 3 reviewers, rejected after major revision, one reviewer rejected (feels like this person is just looking for reasons to reject, why not reject in the initial review, wait until after my major revision, the first time encountering this situation in over a decade), editor rejected. Paper was then resubmitted to Tribology - Materials, Surfaces & Interfaces, accepted after major revision (reviewed in 1 week, revised for 1 month, accepted 1 week after submission).

Does "Awaiting Reviewer Selection" mean that it has been sent for review? It has been in this status for two months, is this normal?

2026, the district returns to the top three. Keep it up!

The review process is too slow, it took one to two months to submit the manuscript, and after revisions, it feels like it has disappeared into the void. It has been over three months without any news. I have sent two emails to the Associate Editor during this period, but there has been no response. It's agonizing!

In June 2025, the editor accepted the edits without waiting for the reviewers. The editor is responsible and handles the manuscript quickly, but the delay is mainly caused by a few reviewers.

Is this journal good? Is it of high quality? How long is the review process?

Outcome unknown

After one round of revisions, one week later, "Awaiting Reviewer Scores" appeared. Does this mean we need to find another reviewer? I'm so worried.

I hope the journal will continue to improve. I have no idea what the Chinese Academy of Sciences zone is up to all day, throwing this kind of journal into the fourth zone is really a serious problem. I hope every journal will be in its rightful place.

I feel that this journal is pretty good. I submitted to it at the end of last year, and it was quickly downgraded to the fourth quartile. I really feel that it's unreasonable, as the impact factor is not low and the peer review process is very strict and standardized. I hope it will return to the third quartile.

This year it has become the Chinese Academy of Sciences Zone 4 again. I feel that some of the articles inside are actually quite good and shouldn't be categorized as Zone 4. Even Zone 3 is not stable. There may be even fewer submissions in the future.

Could you please clarify whether the manuscript has been in the "reviewers selected" status for two and a half months, and then changed to "Awaiting Reviewer Selection"? Do we need to find new reviewers?

Awaiting Publications Manager Processing. Do you have this stage? How long do we have to wait for it? It's been three days and the editor still hasn't been assigned, why is that?

When submitting an article, should the pictures be uploaded separately or included in a new Word document?

I actually feel that the editorial process of this journal is very fast, but some reviewers keep delaying. One reviewer took 2 months to review my paper

Waiting for ae's decision will be quick. I only took 1 week, just because it took a long time to find reviewers and for external review
